This is the monthly edition of “Where Bloggers Live” and this time we’re talking about sleep – or in my case – LACK OF IT. I apologize in advance, this will not be a pleasant read, so you might want to just stop now.
I truly hope some of the other ladies have a better post this month than I do. But, in any case, here goes.
Back in the day (when I had lots of energy, was extremely active and always busy) I could never get enough sleep – not that I didn’t sleep, there just wasn’t enough time for it.
When I started getting older (yes, I’m older than dirt), I started having sleep difficulties. I was on a prescription medication for a long time and it worked quite well. But, last fall when I had all my falling and medical issues they took me off all medications except my heart medication. Since then, sleep has become a rare event for me. Again, I’ve tried almost everything. Only coffee I have is when I get up in the morning. I try to be quiet and restful at bedtime, dark room, listening to “rain” on my phone, etc.
And I’ve tried quit a number of over the counter meds – none of them work for me. Part of my problem is that I can’t shut my mind off 🤔 When I do go to sleep, I wake about every 2 hours, then have difficulty going back to sleep.
Finally went back to the doctor last week for some help. Put me back on the sleep medication I’d taken before. Well, that didn’t work. Made me VERY sick. So back to the doctor, tried a different script. It worked fair one night, but hasn’t since.
So there you go with my sad story. I’m still trying the last medication, but I pretty much think it’s a waste.
Be sure and check out my fellow bloggers, I’m sure they’ll have much more cheerful posts than I do.
