Hello everyone

So the past week or so I have been getting quite tired in the afternoons. For instance I took a 3 hour nap from 1:30-4:30. I felt so groggy and loopy waking up.

I am starting to think the sheer boredom of the lockdown plus some mild depression is the root cause.

Hopefully it isn’t anything physical. I have already to postpone my annual exam because of COVID and will likely have to again reschedule it because it is getting worse here

My sleeping patterns need improvement too.

Forgot to add that I am 29 years old

Hi Tmo,

I am older than you but find myself being quite tired at about five or six pm. Last night I took a nap for a few hours like you did but it caused me to not be able to sleep that night. I was up till about 3 am before sleeping till about six am.

I have plenty wrong with me health wise so I just blame my tiredness on that!!! lol.

God bless you all

My life isn't as exciting right now than it would be if the virus wasn't around either.

Fortunately, my sleep schedule hasn't been affected.

I have been told if I take a nap to go 45 minutes tops. You get rest but don't fall into that deep sleep. If I sleep too long I get real groggy. I have been told if that happens to drink a glass of cold water. I guess we get dehydrated when we sleep.

I hope you stop feeling tired in the afternoons TMo. Maybe switch up your schedule a little bit and see if that helps. If you have a schedule. I don't really other than feeding the dog and making coffee for the morning. I guess I have a little bit of one.

Hope you feel better.

Hugs, Karen...

I rarely take naps during the day.
