Advice requested, #NEISvoid. It takes superhuman strength to get out of bed in the morning. I don& #39;t get restful sleep, because POTS/fibro/etc. Would like advice on the being asleep and getting up phases (not the going to bed phase, I am pretty good at that stuff).
I use a buckwheat pillow and a @MantaSleep mask (pls PLS start selling these from the UK). Weighted Blanket doesn& #39;t work super well for me in the night. I have a body pillow but am researching other possibilities to elevate legs.
I wake up a LOT in the night. My SPO2 sometimes drops to 80%. I often wake up shaking in the morning. My partner brings me tea and oat biscuits, she is the best. I am persistently exhausted in the day, vyvanse is the only thing that helps. When I don& #39;t take it, I sleep all day.
I& #39;ve tried meditation, pls don& #39;t recommend it. My ADHD brain can& #39;t stand it. I& #39;ve tried melatonin, it didn& #39;t help. Seems like my body has problems getting RID of the melatonin. Have tried wake up lamp s, they make the morning feel like foreboding.
Current theories are that I& #39;m not getting enough oxygen and I& #39;m having way too much sympathetic activation in the night. Thank you for reading
