I know I should go and speak to a doctor but I'm not gonna get in to see them for a while and as I can't sleep I thought I'd ask.
I've been having sleep trouble for weeks. I don't know if these things are related or if it's individual issues but:
1. I get uncomfortably hot at night. I mean with the duvet off, windows open, heating off and fan on IN DECEMBER. I don't sweat excessively with it, I just get hotter and hotter until I can't bear it and I go and splash cold water all over myself. My toes also swell to the point where it's painful.
2. It's taking me over 3 hours to get to sleep every night. I went to bed at 10:30 because I was utterly shattered....it's now 2 am and I got up twenty minutes ago because I couldn't sleep. When I do get to sleep, I only sleep for an hour or so before I wake up and repeat the process all over again
3. I feel like I can't get a full breath when I'm lying down. It eases when I sit up but when I'm trying to get to sleep I feel like I can't breathe and when I DO finally start drifting off, I wake myself up with a big breath and jump (like when your body does that weird twitch at night).
I'm exhausted. I haven't slept properly in weeks, and I just can't sleep. Any ideas what the hell is wrong with me?
