I don’t feel non-drugged until well after 6 PM. I’m sleeping very well. I even tried caffeine pills and even caffeine doesn’t budge the “just come to under general anesthesia” feeling. I’ve been under before, and that retch-y feeling is the same. People have also noticed that I’m moving slowly. I don’t drink alcohol, so this isn’t a hangover. It started rather gradually but is getting worse.
Someone suggested it could be low b12, but I’ve been having the sublingual spray for months and there’s no improvement.
Am I just getting old and this is something I’m gonna have to put up with for the rest of my life?
“I’m sleeping very well”
People cant assess themselves for sleep issues, you are asleep, you cant tell whats happening. If you have central apnea you might be ‘waking’ 30 or 60 times per hour and never have a clue its happening. But the side effect is you never get to the recuperative level of sleep the body needs.
This.
People with apnea say CPAP/APAP are life-changing.
They are not exaggerating.
I was dealing with a sciatica flare for months that would never get better. Had an unrelated sleep study, found out I never even get to deep, restorative sleep. Healing just…isn’t happening.
Maybe unrelated, but since starting APAP my sciatica is much improved and I’m actually waking up refreshed.
Well, I think I can asses that I don’t sleep well. When it takes me hours to fall asleep, then I wake up at 3am and can’t fall back to sleep for an hour or more.
I’m pretty sure some people can assess themselves for sleep issues…
I meant in the time while you are actually asleep, if you cant even get to sleep thats insomnia and is for sure an issue in it own right
I mean you are awake, so technically you can’t tell if you sleep well ;P you can make an educated guess though.
