Can't Compete With Being a Moron, But Still Having Issues
 

When I read the subject line by Blessings, "I'm a moron;" my first thought this morning was, "And we have a motion on the table, do I hear a second?" :rolleyes:

I, on the other hand, am totally messed up. I seem to be sleeping now in 1 to maybe 2 hour blocks and not functioning well between, only existing.

Last night I crashed at 7pm up at 8:30pm, crashed at 10pm, up at 11:30pm. Attempted to check email and forums - barely. Crashed in my office chair 45 minutes, moved to my office sofa 30 minutes. Moved to the living room and watched a bad Showtime movie until 2:30am. Tried to do some stuff on the computer, but ended up crashing in my recliner for 2 1/2 hours.

I looked so bad this morning my dogs wouldn't even allow me to let them outside. :eek: My wife took one look at me and said, "Have a little breakfast and go back to bed until whenever." It is snowing a "tad," but only about 2" expected and very pretty sticking to the trees.

So, once again a very unroutine routine night for me and I will attempt a shower when I get up. To top it off, I feel like absolute "CRAP!"

Other than that, have a great Saturday all!

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. My sleep pattern is all over the place, too. I usually only sleep - at the most - three hours at a stretch. I'm up and down all night. But I don't usually nap during the day. I start my "nap routine" at about 8 PM and I'm up and down all night. I usually sleep my best from about 6 AM to 9 or 10 AM. Could be the LDN I take but I've taken it for years so you'd think I'd have some sort of a sleep routine by now. Maybe this is my routine. :rolleyes:

Do you take anything to help you sleep? It could be the combination of meds you take during the day that keeps you up at night. :confused: Sometimes it seems like the things that are supposed to help us just cause problems of their own. :mad:

Feel better Craig.:hug: I sleep well but only in spurts. I usually sleep the best and longest in the morning, from 7 to 11. If I get up earlier than that, I am never really fully awake.

Try not to stress about it, Craig and just go with the flow. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I just lay there and watch TV (always on), until I go back to sleep. If I get up, then it's much harder to go back to sleep.

Gee Craig, guess your wife could have tied a pork chop around your neck and the dogs woulda prolly followed you outside :D

Hope you feel better. I'm having a craptacular day myself. :cool:
:hug:

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and respond.

@viseeu, A pork chop around my neck? I would have been mauled by these two ferocious, "force me out of bed" Jack Russell and Westy. "Craptacular," I love that term and hereby absorb it into my classic terms vocabulary.

Allow me to add some details to give a better idea of my circumstances.

* December 2008, near fatal brain stem stroke
* 68% of all stroke victims suffer sleep disorders
* My primary neurological disease has progressed involving degeneration of the Cerebellum
* Meds like Ambien, Lunesent even with narcotic pain meds ineffective
* Adding to this, I must use a CPAP for severe sleep apnea
* Sleep outside of bed is worse due to no CPAP
* I am very considerate of my wife's quality of sleep, she still works


I have a sleep disorder clinic and specialist, but only see them once to twice a year. His conclusion, even though my CPAP data looks like a DNA sample's inconsistency, as long as I'm getting a minimum of 6 hours sleep total in a 24 hour period, he's not concerned.

My diagnoses are terminal with continual progression. Not treatable, no cure, they can only make me as comfortable as possible. I personally draw the line when this effects how "I" desire to live life on my terms and NOT in a stupor.

I hope this aids in your understanding.
