It sounds ridiculous as I think it's far more the norm to have insomnia when stressed or upset?
But I'm under quite a lot of stress at the moment and sometimes, this overwhelming urge to sleep just overcomes me and I cannot keep my eyes open. I have to lie down and sleep for a bit.
I'm really, really tired from about lunchtime on which is unusual for me too as generally a night owl.
It feels different to normal tiredness, I definitely think it is some way of coping with emotional distress. I do have some health issues ongoing but it just feels different?
I don't feel depressed as such - but maybe in a way related to depressed people sleeping a lot?
I have no kids so no need to worry about neglected kids, by the way!
