this insomnia is getting ridiculous
And then I woke up at 2:30 am and could not go back to sleep. It's bad enough that I've been waking up at 4 or 5 am, but who wants to be up at 2:30? Good grief, sometimes I am just going to bed at 2:30! I don't want to be getting up then!
And I am so tired all day long because I am getting so little sleep that it's hard to have enough energy to get anything done. I used to nap during the day if I had trouble sleeping at night but lately I'm having trouble napping even though I am exhausted.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
That's one problem I had when I had a regular job. I frequently was unable to fall asleep until 4 or 5 in the morning, then had to get up just a couple hours later to get to work by 8:00. Working from home, at least I can work in the middle of the night (if I have enough energy) and sleep during the day (if I am lucky enough to fall asleep) so I do end up getting more rest than I did when I had a regular job.
Part of my current problem is my PTSD. For some reason lately, I can turn out the lights at night or I get really panicky. But the light bothers me when I'm trying to sleep. I end up with the lights on and a pillow over my head, trying to block out the light.

Until this menopause nonsense hit, my insomnia was usually limited to thsse times when the nightmares would flare up for whatever reason... but after a week or so, it would go away.
Wish I could offer a useful suggestion.
