Remember waking up refreshed?!
Sigh, I just miss that feeling of sleeping until your battery is completely charged. I remember hopping out of bed with endless energy.
Nowadays it’s like my pain presses pause (if it’s being kind enough to let me sleep at all) until I wake up.
It’s so disappointing waking up with the EXACT same fatigue levels or god forbid NEW pains :))
I desperately try not to make a habit of sedating myself. I know “sleeping pill sleep” isn’t that same as “real sleep”. Mostly though, I don't want my body to build a tolerance to sleep aids. I try to save them for them i’m suffering the most.
This disease is torture. even when the pain is mild the mental burden is always heavy. I used to really, really love sleep so it’s like a bad breakup lol.
