i dont sleep before 1am. so after i have gotten the dcs out to school i am coming home and am still so shattered that i lie down on the sofa and usually fall asleep for a couple of hours. when i wake i feel like shit and get nothing done before it's pick up time. i feel like a zombie, yawning all day but when it gets to bed time i still cant get to sleep any earlier and sometimes i'm seeing 3/4/5 oclock and feel even worse the next day. i need to crack this. it's got to the stage where i'm going at least one night a week without even going to bed in an attempt to make myself so tired for the next night that i will sleep but it never works. i dont want to take sleeping aids as i'm on my own with dc and dont trust myself to wake if there was a problem. i'm hoping to start work again in the new year and i dont want to be tackling this at the same time. i need to have it sorted. i know i need to get out and get excercise but when i try i can only manage a couple of days before i'm too shattered to get up and out to do it but i still dont sleep any earlier. i really need some advice on this. thanks in advance.
