So sleepy, haven't been able to sleep well in a month

Apr 11, 2022 9:14 AM

My wife used to joke that I used to fall into a coma during the night. Haven't been able to sleep at all the past few weeks. Feeling constantly sleepy and just floating through the day. Can't get myself to wake up early to exercise anymore cause I'd be so exhausted, Can't go to sleep because my mind won't shut up! Send help. (and photos of your dogs.)

I've found sleeping on a stabby pad like Bed of Nails drowns out all the noise in my head. I fall asleep on it, wake up an hour later

in decent pain, pull the pad out and get comfortable, pass out thinking about nothing but the pain. Works well!

This may seem weird but have you had Covid? I haven't been able to sleep well since I had it last year.

Yes. Just last month. I only had a day feeling sick though.

You might be dealing with Covid after symptoms. Keep an eye on your mental health. Depression hit me from the lack of sleep.

What's the cause of Your stress/anxiety?

Dont think I necessarily have stress or anxiety other than the normal work related stress. Its just that my mind keeps latching onto a song

Otherwise my brain was a chaos. Felt like I don't control where it goes. Maybe this can help You too.

I asked about stress and anxiety cause that's when I had similar experience. What helped me is rain noise.

I don't know how this works. I have rain noise mixed with white noise. I used to lead my mind to a story with a scene where it's raining
