My sleep patterns have been really off lately. One day last week I went to bed at 930 in the evening and was up and ready to go at 400, some two hours before I even start getting ready to go to work. Saturday I decided to lay back down at about 1030; I’d woken up not feeling very well at about seven. I slept until my sister called me at 200 wondering why I wasn’t at my nephew’s birthday party. And last night I was in bed by 900 and woke up at about 530.
Its not just my sleeping pattern that’s messed up though. I’ve long been weird about eating. I can easily go a day without eating, without even thinking about food. I literally forget to eat some days. The meals I do eat are usually in the mid-evening, around six or seven and then its often crap; fast food or frozen meals. Lately I’ve been hungry at weird times. I’ve eaten breakfast a few times in the past few weeks and even had a few days of three full meals.
There’s more that’s been off but this isn’t the forum for all that stuff. I don’t know what the cause of all this is. All I know is that I want things to go back to normal.
food/sleep are related. you need 3-4 small meals a day, every 3 hours or so - and you need to go to bed at the same time every night, even if you’re not that tired, but your body will get used to it. my brand new baby niece is still grasping some of these concepts….and I’m pretty sure she’s revolted all together against everything except being awake at 3 am and screaming.
Oh yeah. I have the screaming at three a.m. thing too…not really. that would be weird.
she screams because she wants to be fed and needs a diaper change. I’m glad that is not your situation. but seriously, force yourself to eat and sleep on a schedule. your body will get used to it, and that’s how you’ll go back to normal. promise.
