sleep deprivation
Hi Y'all so I'm on day 6 of detox and have had a grand total of 5 hours sleep in 5 nights. I have sleep meds that I've been on for years that I plan to wean off of after this-obviously they aren't helping me out. My problem is I have auto immune illness that is triggered by lack of sleep and I'm feeling a flare coming on. Can I take Melotonin with zoplicone? will it help? or should I just stop taking the zoplicone as it isn't working and use the Melatonin. Am desperate for sleep-any advice much appreciated(:
So seven hours of sleep and I'm a new woman...Though I do feel about a hundred years old(: Did some damage at the mall as I had not started my Christmas shopping until today....felt pretty normal actually. Really looking forward to sleeping tonight(:
It's 4 am and I'm wide awake. Fell asleep at 11 and awake by 2. I am really struggling with this-I know i'm not going to die from this but I'm not getting much function either. I got up early and was busy all day. Had a sauna and two hot baths, drank sleepy time tea and took my sleep meds. This is absolutely brutal. I don't usually ask for this-but could you all pray for me? Am in fear of a flare of illness-is the worst outcome of this deprivation. Thank you so much.....luLu
Thanks guys for all your kind suggestions-I have tried all of them...I did manage about 4 hours last night and for the first time did not wake up in a pool of sweat!!!YAY! I can't even tell you how much laundry I've been doing(: I am still a long way from filling the deficit but one day at a time. So it's day 9 and my body still feels as though it's been run over by a Mack truck....Going to accomplish small goals. I work from home and have much respect and admiration for those of you that make it to work and take care of children while suffering through this process. Big hugs to all....LuLu
the sleep deprivation is one of the worst symptoms but you cant dye from it

I did find a hot bath as hot as you can stand it even if its just 5 or 10 min then run to your room lay on top odf the covers and dry off there then just let yourself air dry and let the heat come off you body this was enough to relax me for a few hr of sleep a night give that a try just know in time you sleep will return it will come back a little bit at a time so hang in there good luck and God bless.....Gnarly
