I am on my knees with tiredness, I just cant function.
I have always suffered with it, but it seems to go in waves. My GP is very understanding and will give me 2 weeks worth of sleeping pills which I make last atleast a couple of months, using them only when I am desperate. But as I am pg I cant use them atm and the insomnia is worse now, its every night.
Last night I had barely an hours sleep, and only that because DH didnt have to leave until school run time so he sorted the kids out and took them. Am only up now because the Tesco order is due and also because I am forcing myself to get up to try and create a routine of awake during the day in the hopes that it will help me sleep at night.
But what is far worse is that no one understands. My mum says I should go to bed earlier, and wont have it that it doesnt matter when I go, I cant sleep when I get there! DH thinks that because I am quiet in bed I must be asleep, ignoring the fact that I am a noisy sleeper, talking and mumbling etc! So he thinks I am exagerating when I say how little sleep I have had.
I have tried all the usual remedies, I am a member of an insomnia support website so there arent many tricks I dont know! So AIBU to expect just a little understanding and sympathy from my nearest and not- so-- dearest when I am befuddled and can barely drag myself around?!
