Before being diagnosed I was exhausted all the time, don't think I'd had a good nights sleep for years. A friend encouraged me to go for tests, at the sleep clinic, after I fell asleep whilst talking to her:) I was constantly falling asleep and you can't stop yourself.
Couldn't go to the cinema, l once fell asleep and snored right through a film. I can laugh about it now but it was ever so embarrassing at the time.
The treatment has been life changing. I hadn't realised the impact sleep deprivation was having on my life until I started on CPAP.
I always wake up early when I have to be up to go out. Today its painting club so was awake at 6.45am. Must have slept very still as painful shoulder blade this morning didn't hurt until I moved, so painkillers with tea this morning.
Normally no caffeine after midday then I meditate before bedtime, followed by reading a chapter or two and have solid 8 hours. However occasionally have bad night no point tossing and turning,get up,cup of decaf an hour reading propped up in bed and I usually go back over. I agree with comments about neighbours security lights and full moons even with blinds and curtains!
