For the last several days I can do nothing but sleep. Even when I wake up my body feels like it's still sleeping. I've pretty much slept for the last 48 hours.
I'm not bored, in fact, I'm having to forgo doing things because of my sleepiness. Anyone else have this problem? What can I do to fix it? And to think I complain when I can't sleep...go figure. I got the sleep I wishing for and a whole lot more that I didn't expect. Oh yeah, no change in meds. Cindy |

Cindy, I'm wondering if it isn't the changing of the weather. I'm having the same problem lately. I've done nothing but sleep for about a week and a half now. I'm up for about an hour and then crash again.

Could be the weather, change of sesons or some type of "sundowning". Maybe a change in meds is what i9s needed. Think that I would schedule a doctor visit!

A very common cause of daytime sleepiness is sleep apnea. If you do not get good oxygen to the brain, it does not get a benefit from the sleep you have.
Ask someone to observe your sleep behaviors. Do you snore? It leads to Obstructive Sleep Apnea. There are brain diseases that disrupt the breathing mechanism too. Mark in Idaho I have suffered from concussion and apnea induced cognitive and memory decline since 2001 at age 46. "Be still and know that I am God" Psalms 46:10 |

This is the first I've heard of this, and now my concern is suddenly elevated. My wife, age 50 with EOAD, is sleeping 12-14 hours a day and recently started snoring. That's about twice what she used to sleep, and she's never been a snorer. Anyone else have more info on sleeping patterns and AD? |

In my case, my high dose of Seroquel at bedtime keeps my snoozing for 10 to 12 hours. Prior to this, I'd been an 8 hour sleep person.
Well, prior to the Seroquel I had insomnia, & was only sleeping in brief, exhausted naps. So the drugged thing is an improvement, all things considered. Alan |

Alan and all
like you I also long for rest ,my dreams are sometimes now disturbing [new thing]and a night of rest is something I long for. Yet I fear that if my mind stops working it might not start again,so I fear drugs to give me rest. Catch 22. Sven se.dorsey@hotmail.com Iv'e always been crazy,but it's kept me from going insane...Thanks Waylon |

Cindy,
What's your age? Our hormone's come into play with the sleeping. I tend to wake up anywhere from 1:00am-3:00am and then take a sleeping pill. Been waking up at 7:30am and fill good. Usually no naps tho. I want to give you advise but not quite sure at this point what to say. Marcia Marcia, ms5257@aol.com. Indiana |

this used to happen to me until my dr put a puls ox on me over night and found out that I was in the 70's. If your o2 levels are too low you might ask your dr to put you on o2 at night, that has helped me a lot!!!!

I had a serious problem with a sleeplessness. According to the advice of my friend I have changed a way of life. I have got a job, a physical activity. Worked as the loader in port in a current of year. As a result the problem has completely disappeared. This message has been edited. Last edited by: Online Community Administrators, |
