As you may or may not know, the last little while, my sleep has been screwed up. What happens is, I wake up after a few hours or so. It doesn't matter if go to bed at a decent time or little later. There are times where I woke up after a couple of hours. It's not good.
No, I don't start my day between 4-6 am. I set my alarm for 7 am. For the most part, I have been waking up before my alarm. That is not always a bad thing, but when you are not getting a full and proper sleep, it is.
A couple things have been going through my mind about this sleep pattern. One is that I am wondering if I am actually becoming an insomniac. That's not something I have had to deal with. Sure there have been times when times when I can't sleep. But that's not the same as being an insomniac. My stepdad is an insomniac. A functioning insomniac at that. I don't know how he can function of four hours of sleep. I need a decent amount of sleep to function.
I have been thinking that it could be my recent health issues with my seizures that caused this all. Before I started recovering, I was waking up at 3 am. I wonder if that is reason I am now waking up at various times of the night. The seizures were happening late last month.
I am not sure what exactly is causing this change in my sleep pattern. But I am leaning towards my seizures being the cause. I hope I don't insomnia. It's been three weeks since this change in my sleep pattern has happened. I have been thinking that maybe I need to start taking melatonin. It is an over the counter sleeping pill. I probably won't need a prescription for a sleeping pill. My stepdad takes a prescription sleeping pill because he needs something strong to help get him to sleep.
Whatever the case may be, I want to find the answer and a solution. I would like to find a solution without taking some sort of sleep aid if possible. But if I do end up having to take a sleeping or some other sleep aid, I am fine with that. I can't get in to see my doctor till January. So I will have to deal with this current sleep pattern until unless I do a walk-in at the clinic I go to. Either way, this will be dealt with.
