thechone23 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I have this weird sleep issue. I sleep fine on most occasions, 7-8 hours a day and it's pretty heavy sleep, UNTIL I have to schedule to awake at an early hour. Those nights I have very choppy or no sleep at all. Say if I don't have to get up early, and I go to bed at 11pm, I sleep like a baby until 7 or 8 but if I do have to get up early, like 5 or 6 my body just doesn't even attempt it, as if I'm in anticipation of waking up. Is this some type of insomnia? How to combat it? I tried going to sleep earlier, but I just lay in bed longer.
TaraMaiden2 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 That happens to me too... maybe it's nerves about the alarm not going off, or me sleeping through it, but I stay awake and alert far more than is good for me. My solution is to have been prescribed some sleeping tablets, halving them, going to bed a good deal earlier than normal, and taking a half-tab. That way, I know I will get a good few hours' sleep, but the alarm will still wake me, because the tablet will have worn off.... It has always worked well so far. Incidentally, I was prescribed 56 tablets (2 x 28 strips) 8 months ago. I am only just now finishing the first strip (half a tab left) so it's not as if I have become addicted, or pop them at will.... 1
