Sleep, remember that?
It started like 5 months ago. I (49f) there'd be a few days prior to my period that sleep came in blocks. At night I'd sleep 2 hours be up 2 hour.... then it became I'd sleep 2 hours be up for 4 hours..... but all in that cycle week. It progressed into this nightmare. I'm exhausted. 9pm I fall asleep for an hour, wake up until 5am. And when my alarm goes off at 8, I wanna cry. I just fell asleep. Then the weekend comes, I think I'll finally atleast sleep in, only to hear my husband and mom(who I moved in to take care of) make wise cracks. How I sleep too much. But it's every day.
I get headaches, my eyes burn, my bed calls me.... then I lay there in the dark until the sun comes up. I've tried everything.... except hrt. I guess I gotta.
Between my body and my loved ones.... I wanna scream.
