[QUOTE=continuosly blue;6191759]I can’t relate to what you went through during your “change “ lol , but I can relate to your current situation. If I go to sleep too early, let’s say before 10 or 11 , I’m up by 2am. And weirdly enough I mean up ! Like I never went to sleep at all. Then I find it very difficult to get back to sleep. I feel like even if I get 6-8 hours straight, ( which is rare ) , I never really slept at all. The minute I open my eyes the **** machine kicks in full gear. I don’t like taking sleeping pills as then I feel groggy the whole next day ! I feel like some people when they say , “I’ll sleep when I’m dead “ ! :

I go to bed normally around 8:30 or 9 because I have to get up at 4 to care for my pets and stuff before work. If I go to bed any later...I cannot get up easily. (I am not a morning person anyway.) Like I said, it has gotten mush better, but menopause was certifiably NUTS!!!! It would take me half a page to explain how crazy I got. I did not use any meds at all....but it is over now. (yay). My worst problem with waking up like that is that when I finally DO go back to sleep...I am a zombie when the alarm goes off.
