Anybody else have a second wind after a grueling day that simply doesn't let you relax enough to sleep?

Ya. I'm there right now. And it's driving me crazy! It's 11:10, I have to be at work at 8am and it might as well be 2pm on a Saturday. Tons of energy and concentration that I am seriously considering calling into work tomorrow because there is no way I will be able to stay awake without getting a full 7/8 hours.

WHY?!?!

I feel the most awake at 3am. :(

This condition is very frustrating. You get too tired to sleep sometimes. :))

I hope you were able to sleep enough to get through the day.

I use to remember those days. I actually had anxiety the night before because I knew I wasn't going to get proper sleep. I only worked one day shift and others 3-11. I would love the 3-11 shift mostly because I could sleep in the morning. Now that I don't work I don't get upset when I don't sleep well. I can catch up in the morning when nobody's home.

Thanks Angel. A lot if good that image is doing me right now at 545am and exhausted. LOLOL!!

And I had this nervous energy last night too. I took a Valium and nothing. Took another one and just the slightest tinge so I basically ran to bed and hoped I would fall asleep. I did, just not enough sleep and our sleep is already non rejuvenating. I might as well have stayed up. Sorry for the whine.

Most of us know those nights. If I have had a big event or overexerted myself, I sometimes cannot get to sleep, or sleep very poorly, up and down all night.

And sometimes those nights come from nowhere, which is a kick in the old kaboose.

It's weird: If I have a day I really overdo, I either am really tired then, or else it hits me bigtime the next day, and I can't accomplish a thing.


But often, several hours later, and usually in the evening, I do get a second wind (maybe over the hurdle of fatigue?) and yes, my body won't shut down.

Am trying hard not to overdo, because I get weary of the rollercoaster ride! smhair

I hear that! And you'd think I would be smart enough after waking up on Sunday dog tired and sore from working in the yard off and on ALL day. But no, you would be wrong.

And this is the issue with pain medication that I don't like (among others). Sometimes you don't know if its going to knock the edge off or make you feel no pain, or a 2/10 max so you think you got away with overdoing it the day before. And then insomnia hits.

Zzzzzzz. I think I am going to sneak out during lunch, find a tree to lay under and set a timer for a nap. I'm on the bus riding to work and the thought of even turning on my computer seems exhausting. Lol
