Why can't I Sleep?

By TJL

· 674 views

Ok this is one problem that I never thought I would have- I have trouble staying asleep. I used to be a champion sleeper(ha-ha), once my head hit the pillow I was out like a light. I have had my CPAP adjusted down twice, the Doc told me I might be off it soon-Yeah! I have resorted to taking tylenol PM once or twice a week because I know that getting enough sleep is good for your weight loss. The funny thing is I should feel like a zombie- but I don't. Once in a while in the am I will feel tired but for the most part I feel pretty good. I get maybe 4 hours and then I'm awake. Hoping that when I go back to see the doc they will have some answers for me. Just call me Sleepless in NY.

    i too have had this annoyance. i will wake up around 3am after being asleep for only 3 or 4 hours. UGHHHH> As soon as my eyes open I know dreamland is over. I will stay there still as can - but the brain doesn't shut down and my eyes would not shut. Frustrating- I hope it passes- for you too.

    I also can not go to sleep till 3-4 in the morning. Get woke up by my husbands alarm at 6:30 then sometimes go back to sleep until 9.

    I wonder if it's because we're no longer "anesthesizing" ourselves by overeating. Sometime when I am awake in the middle of the night it helps to get up and drink a glass of milk. I don't feel hungry as much as "empty".
