I took the kids to school the other day, went to Walmart and Sobeys, came home, put all the groceries away and then I went back to bed. For the rest of the day. I slept through lunch, and anyone that knows me, knows I don't miss meals! That night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep right away and slept all night. I am just so tired. I don't really know what to do about it.
I told some friends this yesterday and they said it wasn't a big deal, everyone needs extra sleep sometimes. But really, this has gotten bad. There are some days that I just give up, the day gets to be too much and I take a nap. But then other days, I am doing stuff, I am happy and excited about my day, and I still can't make it through. Some days I know that I have 20 minutes before I have to go get the kids, so if I am out, I will come home, park the car in the garage (shut of the engine, I'm not suicidal) close the garage door, set my phone alarm and sleep in the car. Sad isn't it. It was after I told my friends this little tidbit that they agreed, that was a bit extreme.
So what do I do? I've tried vitamin D, multi vitamins, getting lots of sleep, I've even tried those energy shot drinks. The drinks, by the way, taste like thick cough syrup and they don't even work. Although I could probably be on a straight caffeine drip and still be tired. I am going for acupuncture next week, so fingers crossed on that one. I just wish I knew what to do. I've tried exercise, and I do that very regularly, but it only energizes me for a little while, and then I really need a nap!
Everyone always says that I am always so busy, but I have to be. If I didn't keep myself busy, I'd be asleep. So that's it, my secret is out. I am a closet napper. I don't want to sleep through life, I have to find a way to be awake, stay awake and feel rested. I don't think I've ever gotten up in the morning and felt refreshed. I just feel a little less desperate for sleep.
