Hi GPL,
Other posters have just about said it all- nice to read them...
About 6 years I suffered from total exhaustion. To describe this
I would say: a living nightmare- struggling to get to sleep at night:
And struggling to stay awake by day...
Sometimes i would get so angry and frustrated. And then I found
that taking a daytime nap cleared my head some what.
I had along way to go! I guess I had post traumatic stress. I
had tried everything with the 12 steps...
...I tried controlling my sleeping times. A total failure!
So I went for it. Sometimes at work I would nap to 8-12
minutes. Sometimes when driving I would have forty winks.
[I would pull over first, of course.]
The daytime naps actually improved my night sleeping.
I made it a rule not to get up in the morning B4 5 am.
Even if I just lay there and rested. [I am a real morning person.]
Slowly my sleeping patterns have improved.
A good topic- thanks,
DavidG
