Basically I have real trouble sleeping, and have had to phone in sick to work several times because I literally haven't slept at all.
Last night for example we ate at 6, took little girl to bed at 7 and we usually chill downstairs then go to bed around 8:30.
We go to bed there are no lights, phones, sounds.
Some nights I nod off by 9 but last night I got to sleep at 4:30 (ish) am.
My daughter woke at 5:30 which is everyday plus getting up at least twice at night so hence we go to bed early.
At this point I had to ring in sick. There is no way I could of had the strength or energy to carry out my 13 hour shift.
Now my sickness is being monitored, which I totally get, if I was an employer I would do the same.
I can't take sleeping tablets because I still need to get up with daughter in the night, I have bought new mattress, pillows pjs and bedding, I have tried warm baths, horlicks, relaxation apps.
Basically I need some help and advice before I find myself losing another job for the same reasons as last jobs...sickness level
