At the end of May I was laid off from my job and since then I have had a really difficult time adjusting to this change.
My weight loss has pretty much stalled and I think a major part of this may be my ongoing battle with insomnia. I can't seem to go sleep at a normal time. last week I didn't go to bed at all before 4am one night I was up until 6 am. Without the pressure of having to get up for work it is like my mind sees no reason to shut down.
I will lay in bed for hours just thinking about joblessness and money it is not particularly productive. I have tried taking over the counter sleep aides and I am not a fan of them and I find them to be inconsistent in results. I have also tried home remedies and herbal remedies.
I am really kind of at my wits end her because I know that I am not going to be able to focus on anything if I don't start establishing a normal sleep pattern. I need to really put time and effort into finding a new job but I am so tired all the time that I have little energy for the work involved in that.
I try very hard not to nap during the day but sometimes it happens. I've started having problems with dry eyes and headaches as a result of the lack of sleep and I just don't know what to do about it any more.
