I can't sit down for half an hour or more in the afternoon or else I want to sleep.

It is so annoying and bloody boring.

Anyone else have the same thing?

Do some exercise, gives you loads of energy.

I've not stopped all morning! I am going to tisy my bedroom now.

come tidy my play room looks like ve been vandelised

How's your iron levels fab?

LOL

No carbs had here.

Iron was checked a while ago and all fine. Blood tests always are. TBH I have been to the sleep clinic and got a diagnosis as to why I am so tired but there isn't treatment and I was having a moan as it gets me down every now and again.

I have put up some pictures, put another wash load on and tided up a bit. I am having 5 minutes here and then need to go and get the kids.

what is wrong with an afternoon nap? they all do it on the continent.

Agree with funnyperson Il've been doing it for years AND years when I can (I am an OAP with a 6 & 13 yr old with SN shhh) Enjoy

I suppose I feel it is a waste of time when I have so much to do. I also wake up feeling out of it. I went to bed at half 8 last night and refused to get out of bed until 7.30am. I have done loads this morning and so far sast down for 10 minutes and not asleep yet.

Sit down. Warm drink. Blanket. Put timer on 30 or 40 mins.
Quick snooze of no more than 20 mins shouldn't make you feel out of it and might you make more energetic for the afternoon.

Try it and don't feel guilty!

Did you sleep for 11.5 hrs last night? Or do you lie awake?

I didn't sleep the full time as I woke a few times but I am hoping I banked a bit of extra sleep. It is like a switch, I have time checked and it was half an hour and then the tiredness just came over me.
