Sleepy

Does anyone else stay as sleepy as I do...I never ever feel rested..I wake up and could go right back to sleep even if I am typing on here;;;;;
Any ideals I would take....tired of watching tv, miss most of the show, tired of trying to type a journal and next thing my fingers are just hitting all kinds of keys...
so any suggestions on staying awake???????????????????????//

I remember reading in your past journals that you had some cardiac issues. Any impairment in circulation can cause drowsiness, as there is not an effcient delivery of oxygen throughout the body. Just a maybe....surely I could be wrong, but rechecking your general health couldn\'t hurt.
I take green tea suppliments, I think they help. But of course before trying anything new, check with your doc.....
Good luck Sandi....hugs, Rebecca

Hi Sandi: Rebecca is right. It could be heart related. Or it could be depression. I get like that when I am really down. What helps is to go out for a walk, though it is hard to get started when you feel so very tired.
I hope you start to feel better soon.
Love and hugs, Marlene

...if I don\'t go to water aerobics regularly that is how I feel....I also have more energy when I take a liquid vitamin/mineral+ supplement...best to check with doc though on all that...specially if there are med issues.....hugs.....

There\'s also things like Lyme Disease, Chronic Fatigue... Narcolepsy... please do see a doctor. It\'s probably not a dangerous thing but you are very likely going to feel better with some meds. There\'s something called Provigil that gives people more energy. Did you see Dale and De?

Sandi,
As a friend who loves you, I urge you to start with your doctor. We love you honey, and if you can keep in contact with us any way even typing multiple keys, I know I would welcome it.
With love,

Yes, I second and third a visit to your doctor. You should not be feeling this way and your body is trying to tell you something. Listen to it.

Gentle care as you try to navigate through these challenges.

Love and hugs, Joanie

You sound just like me. I am so tired and sleepy all the time. In my case I think it is grief and depression. Also trying to recouperate from knee surgery. I think it would be a good idea to see your doctor. Good luck to you. (((HUGS)))...Julia

I agree start with the Dr let him diagnosis you. The list is a long one that could be the colprit. Mine was sleep apnea and also differant types of depression or is it medication. Only the Dr knows how to fix but you must talk in length about it to him. Keep a diary of symptoms and feelings, It is a process of elimination which can take time..
