Can’t Sleep
Just a general question. I don’t work normal hours for the average person and I lost my cycle for a few months a while back. But now she is back but different. It’s a little normal with fatigue and such but the first few days of starting I absolutely can’t sleep. Not because of pain but because energy is surging through my veins but my eyes say to close them. It’s a constant battle. I have tried various sleep medications, vitamins and currently working towards being placed on a shift meant for the human body to function on. The sleep medicine either works for a week max and then decides once I eat it, it will hit me whenever or never so I’m left to just hope. I just wonder if anyone else deals with random uhm “insomnia” during their cycle? I do experience random episodes of insomnia regularly but it died out for a while and now that my cycle is back it’s just a pattern i see. If you do how do you handle it? I work a physically and mentally laboring job so any advice along with pushing through will help lol.
