I've been tired for the last decade lol.
it's getting better, but I basically need to be in bed by probably 9 or 9:30 during the week. weekends come around I'm usually beat down and exhausted and sleep in a bit but find that even on the weekends I need a nap. my issues are definitely stress related. but I've been trying to cut out the booze and try not to eat as bad as I used to. It's seemed to help. I'm at least falling asleep somewhat quickly during the week. compared to years ago where I woudl just lie awake and dread the next day due to hating my job. my current gig is stressful, but I don't 'hate' it like I have jobs in the past.

Try a Bang or even a Hyde Energy Drink. It's off the chain.

Seriously - if you have "shift work disorder" - you may want to look into taking modafinil. I'm a little scared to take it very often - but I've really never read of any harmful long term side effects. In fact, it may even be a good medication to take to mitigate Alzheimers.
I'll usually play poker Midnight to 6am 4 times a week - and get 4-5 hrs of sleep those nights. The rest of the time I sleep about 11 hrs so my sleep schedule is kind of weird. This stuff doesn't even make you feel like you haven't had any sleep and you don't feel like you are on drugs like adderall.

Big time night owl here. It's very rare for me to be in bed before midnight. 2am to 9am is my perfect night of sleep. Sucks making an 8-5 job compatible with that.
I don't have any problems falling asleep though. Once my head hits the pillow I'm asleep within minutes.

I tried one and it was worse than without. Simply couldn't fall asleep with it on. First I felt like I was suffocating and when they finally adjusted the output to cure that, it would force air out through my mouth, waking me up.
I'm just doomed. It takes me an hour or more to fall asleep, I wake up 3 or 4 times a night and can't fall back asleep. I've been napping more and more during the day and I'm tired all the time. Tried Valerian root, melatonin, diphenhydramine...nothing really works well. |

My issue is that with the nasal canula, too low a pressure and I felt like I was suffocating. When they turned the pressure up to fix that, it started rerouting air from my throat back OUT of my mouth, so not keeping my airway open plus startling me and waking me up. Their solution was a massive face mask that covered both my nose and mouth. I can't sleep wearing a freaking gas mask, so I gave up. |

My mom uses this torture device for snoring/apnea. It creates a suction that sucks your tongue out to open the airway. Not sure how the hell she can sleep like that. There'd be no ****ing way I could use one...

Don't get tied to that CPAP for life. Make lifestyle changes. Don't get me started on sleep studies and the medical community wanting to classify people with severe sleep apnea to get a product sold. While they should be pushing lifestyle changes as the best alternative. But they aren't in the business of selling fruits or veggies. |

I took an "At Home" sleep study. The results showed that I stopped breathing 80 times an hour. Then I found out what happens with the apnea. Once you stop breathing, the Fight or Flight syndrome kicks in. Adrenaline and cortisol flood the system. Cortisol is the "bad" hormone. rapid weight gain mainly in the face, chest and abdomen contrasted with slender arms and legs. a flushed and round face. high blood pressure. osteoporosis. skin changes (bruises and purple stretch marks) muscle weakness. mood swings, which show as anxiety, depression or irritability. I would sleep 10 hours, go to work and 4 hours later needed to take a nap. I was tired ALL the time. I put it towards age and being 10-20 lbs over weight. After the Cpap, I couldn't take a nap. More energy etc. Is it perfect? No. Better? YES. Quote:
It took me a good 2 weeks to get use the air pressure. I felt like I was inhaling a tornado. It wasn't comfortable. I still get a bit of air coming out my mouth, not much. I had the mask at first and didn't like it. I thought I was a mouth breather and was with the apnea. I got a "nasal prong" and love it. It wraps around your head up to the crown and the hose attaches at the top. I can roll all over the place and the hose just swivels. Sure cool. I don't like the idea of being attached to a "machine", but it is better then the alternative. I hope as I lose weight and diet better with exercise, I will be able to do without. Until then, this is the best solution. I hope this helps. |
