my insomnia has been so bad this past week that my fitbit couldn't even give me a sleep score 4 of the days because I didn't sleep enough. NO KIDDING FITBIT! lol
@PYLWhammy MEEE! I was in the same boat last night. I was tired & ready for bed around 10, but didn't fall asleep until at least midnight. I've also only been sleeping in ~3 hour intervals.
In the last week I have not been able to eat or have a **simple conversation without getting winded. WTF!?
Sleep! OMG. The past week has been awful as far as sleep goes. I'm sure if I had a fitbit it would be flipping out.
Currently, I'm alternating between "so tired I fall asleep at 9 pm after DD goes to bed at 8-8:30" and "so awake I have to force myself to go to bed by 2 or 3 am". WTF body?! Can we find a happy place in between 10 hrs of sleep (9 pm to 7 am) and 4 hours of sleep (3 am to 7 am)???
The funny part was I had my regular visit with my psychiatrist this morning (I see her about every few months since I'm still on the SSRI's that I was put on when I had PPD) and she was like, "Oh, how is sleep going?" I had to laugh. MY DAUGHTER, WHO IS 3, SLEEPS BETTER THAN ME.

Lol ok glad I'm not alone. I am exhausted all day. When my daughter goes to sleep, I get in bed immediately to try to get to sleep early and toss and turn for hours! It's so frustrating because I WANT to sleep so bad.
