Your judgment and reaction time may slow, you may experience memory loss, depression, a weakened immune system, and pain. Not getting enough sleep or having poor sleep habits can trigger migraines or cause occasional migraines to become frequent. New research shows that when women lose sleep they're at higher risk for diabetes, heart disease, and depression.And those are just a few snippets from webmd.com; i've been reading some other sites too and the more i read the more scared i become. I don't think ive experience any memory loss and im not in any pain or sick but i have felt slightly down lately, but i've had a lot on my mind. As for my reaction time thats always been spotty but i don't think it's changed any and my judgement is fine. Ive never gotten migraines and have had one recently. Diabetes runs in my family so thats scary but my hearts fine. There are other symptoms too but i didn't have any of those but if this continues i may have to talk to the rents about seeing a sleep doctor ( i know right, they're not special, they dont get a fancy name).
It could just be a lack of activity during the day that causes it like i was telling Joel but if it continues id rather do something about it and be overly cautious than not do anything and there be something seriously wrong. So today we're gonna go for a walk and maybe go see britt and idk just get up and about.
I have bad insomnia and have for a few years. My doctor told me to go to bed at the same time every night, even if I don't feel sleepy. Turn off my laptop, cell phone, etc. and lay in bed, maybe read some. Also, get up around the same time every day. I also started taking melatonin, which is an all natural sleep aid. I didn't want to see a specialist because I didn't want to get addicted to sleep aids, so my family doctor recommended the melatonin. You can get it at like Meijer and WalMart and stuff over the counter. Also, stop drinking caffeine. I was super stressed out at that point in my life, so I wasn't sleeping and I started getting really depressed. Once I started sleeping more normally, I felt great. But now I'm back into my insomnia ha.
