I was so tired I went to bed at 7pm (seriously). I read for a while and could not fall asleep. I shut off the light about 830. At 945 I was still awake. I think I feel asleep around 11. I didn't sleep very well.
The alarm went off around 5 when it always does. We ignore it until 530. My husband got up, took a shower, read the paper, brought me coffee, and alternated trying to wake me up. Finally at 608 I woke up. More than half an hour late. But by rushing around, I should be at work on time.
This is an ongoing problem. I have problems getting comfortable so I can sleep. Usually I fall asleep on my back but sometimes it hurts too much. I often take a pain pill before bed because my rheumatologist says it should help with morning pain. I can take a different pill to help me sleep but I don't like to take it every night and last night, for example, it didn't do squat.
Maybe because I had three Hershey nuggets after dinner - do they have caffeine? I don't know but I'll skip them tonight.
Then I am tired which compounds the fatigue. Its an evil vicious cycle. I need a nap. Damn. I'll postpone that until after work.

Caroline, may I suggest using an anti bedsores decubitus matress with pulsating air pump. I'm caregiver of my postrated mother and, since she uses one, she improved her rest very much, is not expensive and worth to try.Best regards Guillermo Garcia.
