A HUGE component in this is that I have Sleep Apnea (which I've just recently been diagnosed with), so I've only been using a sleep mask/machine for two weeks----hardly enough time to get my body/brain back to its normal somnamatic rhythms.

Also I told my Sleep Dr how every week-two weeks before my period I am like this, and he said he has been told his by many patients, and recently read it in medical journals. He believes there is definitely "something there" in regards to the PMS hormones, etc. and the fatigue. Which is why I'm seeing an internist next week.

When I'm like this I do just hang out in bed as much as I can, wrap up in the blanket and try to blot out the world. But my mind goes in so many directions (the hyperness Misswimmy mentioned) and hyper anxiety as well.
