Ok I have now gone out of the I can't sleep at any time. Too all I want to do is sleep. And I mean all the time, everytime I sit down I go to sleep.

Even after 8/9 hours sleep I can sit anywhere and juist go to sleep.

We where at a friends house yesterday and I just went to sleep taslking to someone. I have never had this as bad before, I can not6 watch TV or I go to sleep. Also the fog is really bad at present.

It is great in some ways, but the few things I enjoyed doing now just make me hurt worse and all I want to do is sit down and sleep.

I'm sorry, Kathy! How strange is that? Guess your body is just making up for lost time, but it must be a pain.

You might want to ask your doctor about this - it's not normal to fall asleep that easily and that often. It's probably nothing and just your body compensating for it's previous insomnia, but it can't hurt to ask.

In the meantime, you might want to try "planned" naps - in the morning and/or afternoon, to see if that prevents you from falling asleep during inappropriate times.

Good luck!

Along with talking to your Dr, and trying "planned naps" (I take one around 2pm for 30 minutes to an hour), I'd have to suggest looking at your diet. I just went through this. 3 weeks ago I was eating like a health nut. Then we went on a 10 day vaca to Florida. At first the family was really helpful at helping me stick to it (meals at home, providing healthy choices, etc) and I lasted a good 5 days into the 10 before I caved and started eating like everyone else. By the time we left (so, 5 days after falling off my healthy eating habbits), I noticed that everytime I stopped (for ANY amount of time), I fell asleep. In the car - slept like every 30 minutes on the way home.. that is NOT me. I can NEVER sleep in the car. On the couch watching TV, talking on the phone. And despite nearly sleeping ALL day, I was exhausted when I went to bed... at 9pm!! I'm slowly getting back on my diet and I can feel my energy coming back slowly. Sugar is NOT my friend. It zapps the crap out of my energy. Something to think about!

Hi
i am a Lymie, converted to a fibro and I used to always fall asleep Kathydownunder, like you describe, I am better now but i did nod off at church yesterday (new one for me) hubby poked me. but really I used to just go out. The best way to explain it is the movie wizard of oz when the witch put the sleep spell on dorothy in the poppy field. It was just like that boom I was out. In retrospect i think my body was just plain tired and if it was going to heal it had to sleep. while i am not "well" I have come a long way from the beginning of this journey. by the way the down under part of your name, does that have anything to do with australia or horses? Just curious : )
