What is going on with my body!?

Ever since I was put on bed rest, I've been SOOOO sleepy and hungry all the time.  I have a feeling the sleepiness is due to a combination of the bp medicine and being so inactive all day.  But what's up with the monster appetite?  Is it just boredom eating?  Or maybe because I'm trying to change my diet due to the bp issues?  All I know is that I'm worried about ballooning up to a weight I don't even want to think about with all this eating and sleeping!!

I know where you're coming from with the sleeping issues. My problem is I can't sleep well at nights, most likely attributed to me taking naps during the day.

I was concerned about gaining a lot of weight with being on bedrest, but it hasn't been the case. Probably because of this little guy pushing up on my stomach and causing killer indigestion.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

I had this early on in the bed rest but now I find that I eat little meals a few times a day...definitely not as hungry.  I'm not as sleepy either, actually I'm finding it hard to sleep some times.  Hopefully you find a balance.
