@Former-Member hey Hon - didn't want to take over that other thread so answering here.

I slept for 6 hours again last night but didn't wake up during the night so that is progress. Also no unwanted dreams so added bonus. Haven't been as tired the last 2 mornings either so maybe it is all evening out a little. Will continue to monitor how I am going over the next few days and if it stays as it is then it ciuld work out okay. I will talkto my pdoc next Wednesday though and see what she thinks. 6 hours straight through is good and if I can function on that then that is okay - I guess going back to work will be a big test and maybe that will help me sleep longer as well.

How did the driving lesson go today?

Lucky I noticed your message just now @Zoe7 I missed your notification. That’s good re sleeping six hours straight. I hope you can either manage on that amount, or hopefully be able to sleep more. Mine is broken sleep every night. Hmm driving lesson. 😫 prn didn’t work as well today, so I feel shattered now. So exhausting being so anxious even with prn. Usually I’m ok. I guess because it’s been a huge week, I’m feeling it today. 

Her driving is ok, it’s just me that’s not ok, lol. It’s scary. 

Back later if I can. Gotta go. 💜💖

I used to only get between 3 and 5 hours sleep maximum for many years @Former-Member - which probably also helped me get really sick - so whilst 6 is good I would prefer another hour or 2. I suspect once I get back to work I will get more sleep because I will be so physically and mentally tired - hope so anyway and also hoping work is not too much for me. I suppose that is all conhecture at the moment as I don't even have a school yet 

I have already taken meds but it is still so hot here it may be difficult to sleep even with meds. Will likely be a couple of hours until they kick in though - that is about how long it is taking these days.

It seems like your D is doing okay with the driving - it super sucks though that the prn didn't help you today. You have had a huge week with lots going on so you may be right it was more exhaustion today that affected you - that happens when we are that tired - everything becomes even more of an effort.

Sleep makes so much difference @Zoe7 

I think gradually it will improve for you. I hope you find out re school soon. School starts back next week here. I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with that anymore. 

[Zoe7]

I hope it does improve slightly at least @Former-Member We don't start back until a week later but it is still cutting it fine with me finding out about which school I will be at. Hoping to hear Tuesday as Monday is a public holiday.

How did Herr @TAB go at the doctor’s today? 😸🎩

[Former-Member]

I can imagine @Zoe7 like you, I like to know in advance, so I can prepare 

[Zoe7]

If I at least knew the grade I could start preparing for that @Former-Member.

I might need to head off soon - starting to get tired here. How is your evening going?
