Insomnia 11/18/2020

My sleep schedule is all messed up. I’m still going to bed at 11:00 pm-ish but waking up at 2:00 am almost every night. On workdays (MWF), that’s okay since I can try going back to sleep, then sleep in since I rarely have early meetings/calls. For dialysis days, I have to get up at 4:20 am so I usually end up not sleeping. I try to make it up during dialysis but having the blood pressure cuff go off every 30 minutes is not good for sleeping. However, due to dialysis, I’m always tired. I typically sleep for a few hours after dialysis, then do a bit of work, followed by another nap after dinner. Today, I slept in until 9:30 am, then had a bunch of work calls, and took another nap from 2:00 pm until now (~6:00 pm). Yet I am still very tired and will likely fall asleep right after dinner but wake up at 2:00 am again.

I guess I’m lucky to be able to work from home. Otherwise, I’m gonig to fall asleep driving to/from work again.
