Is anyone else having a hard time sleeping. Up in the middle of the night even on the days when there is no school or work. Now that I am not working I still can't get to sleep. I am waking up at 3 and 4 in the morning daily as though I am going to work. Besides blood pressure meds the doctor wants to discuss Insomnia. I refuse to take anything else. He replied what ever is on my mind I need to get it off because I can have a stroke. I and my husband talked with the doctor December and I was told I need to let something go because every time I came to his office my pressure were always between 160/170 over 100/110. No one wants to be sick and no one wants to take meds. Being a wife, mom, grandma, student, supervisor and my head was about to explode. If you don't know, I let the job go with a notice. My husband said its ok, but after only being marry a little over 2 years he says ok to any thing I speak. I see the bills that run through the house hold and I'm not sure if I made the right decision to let the job go. I some times think I should have taken off from school. I hate to think like that but I'm so frustrated with the unemployment rate that I can scream. With one income we are getting by. I would like to get ahead. I know I am not the only one thinking this way. Although I try so hard, it is so hard to function when things are not going the way I would love. All I hear on this end is don't worry. I'm human and I do worry and I know that has a lot to do with my health. I trust in my Lord Savior. I pray and pray.

I def. know what those sleepless nights are like. I find myself waking up about the same time of the early morning every day; it drives me crazy. I believe that once your body does it for a few days, it becomes habitual and something you have to break, to train your body NOT to do. Good Luck and best of health to you!

I totally understand the hard to sleep or waking up when you are supposed to be getting up to go to work. Sometimes I manage to get just 2 hrs of sleep. No one wants to take meds to knock them out, they are habit forming and makes it even harder to go back to falling and staying asleep. You can try taking Melatonin which is natural and produced by your body, maybe try meditation an hour before, no kids, no husband, just you, a quiet dark room and empty out your brain. When you try to go to sleep, or at least in my case, my brain goes into overdrive and won't stop. I worry and stress and that does not help. I could recommend something to help you sleep but you probably wouldn't like it. I wish you luck, but you have to find a way to shut your brain down at bedtime. Easier said than done, I know. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteI know it may be hard to do, but after you pray, just let go and let GOD. Do you know what I mean? We can only do so much as humans, that is why we leave it all up to GOD to take care of. No matter what, what is meant to be will be and what is not meant to be will not be. I hope that makes sense. I used to worry a lot, but decided that "Hey, God will take all my burdens if I ask Him to." So that is what I did, and things happen when they need to happen, as they need to happen. Hope this helps at least a little. God Bless.
