Since I was a child I’ve slept more than average, I have memories of being told off for sleeping when I should have been tidying my room or for napping on the sofa before dinner. As an adult nothing changed, I would sleep at every opportunity, I sleep now when ever I can. This is and has really affected my life, I have a daughter and I feel like I’m missing so much, my husband is brilliant he just lets me sleep when I need to and isn’t judgmental. So here’s a normal routine for me, I go to bed around 10pm on a working day I wake at 6am to go to work for 7 finishing in time for school pick up, I make dinner and then I’m in bed by 4.30pm for a nap until 6.30ish awake until 10pm. On a day where my shift is slightly different I’m way worse, I get up at 6am start work at 7am finish at 10am sleep from when I get home until 2.30pm school pick up then back to work and home for 10pm then I sleep again.... I can keep myself awake when needed, for important things but I constantly yawn, if I have a day off after getting myself ready for the day I need a nap, just from showering! I’m short tempered and I’m also really sensitive to noise, I can’t focus well when there is background noise which makes me really angry. I have an appointment next week to be honest it’s long overdue and I’ve been to embarrassed to ask for help. But I want to actually be awake and enjoy my life rather than forcing myself to be present. I have tried a sleeping routine eg bed at 10pm up at 6am and I literally eye roll head dropping etc to get through it and nothing helps. my diet isn’t terrible could be better but I eat normal dinners the odd treat, I’m not overweight, certainly not underweight either. Any ideas? I need help
