Sleep

HI everyone

 

I also do the night shift most nights. Our rermedy was to buy an adjustable bed with separate mattresses and hubby says he doesn't feel me wriggling and tossing trying to turn over. He doesn't even hear the motor whirring when I adjust the bed. I find  raising my legs helps the tremor at night. What does disturb him is the noise I make when I start dreaming as I shout and thrash about. He never knows whether to wake me or not as if he does I might not get back to sleep. If I take amitriptyline and clonazepam at night I do get some sleep but still wake up around 12.30, 2 am amd between 4 and 5. I usually get  up at 6.00am but once in a while I get comfy and don't wake until8am. I try to avoid going to the loo at night as it involves putting bedside light on and manoeuvering my walker around the bed and a walk across the landing and I don 't like waking him to help me as I can do it. He needs his sleep as he has enough to put up with during the day. I used to love a lie in at  the weekend but those days are gone never to return.
