I'm am at my wits end with all of the sleep that I need! I can't get done what I need to do. It takes all my patience to manage this and I can get easily annoyed at others; not a good business strategy. I'm always weighing the quality of my life, which is good, but I'm not awake enough to enjoy it!

And then it's compounded by all the cooking I do so that I don't get Diabetes, or high cholesterol, or mood swings.


It's just tooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've found that I often get more tired when the seasons change... I've been feeling a lot like this now as well... If you need more sleep for a while I would indulge in it... If it goes on for too long perhaps your doc could revisit your meds... Maybe a dosage change would help....xo

How much sleep do you need? I don't understand the situation. Are meds making you sleepy?

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
