Am I b u to want to stand in the garden and yell about how my sleep pattern is so shit it's really starting to affect me now Hmm

It goes in cycles. For nearly a week it's not being able to fall asleep at all no matter what I do until at least 4.30 am which is a killer when the alarm for work goes off at 6.

The next week (last week and due to work stress and lockdown)I'm physically and mentally exhausted so I fall asleep within minutes but at 2 am I'm wide awake and pacing around. I end up doing house stuff,ironing,emptying the dishwasher literally anything because sitting still or trying to relax has me tetchy.
Cue this week (now closed due to lockdown)I had two whole nights of sleeping from 10 pm right through till 7 am yippee 😁

However tonight I went to bed and tossed and turned and haven't even remotely nodded off so am now downstairs watching tv drinking decaf tea and getting frustrated that yet again il be knackered today

Oh and it's my birthday but dh will be at work from 4 am and dc will be at school so it's going to be a long day on my own again.

I'm doing productive things to keep my mind busy and I'm doing long dog walks and excercise to physically tire myself out but my brain just doesn't want to give in

Aaarrrrrgggghhh
