Sleep Advice Anyone?

I am sleepy everywhere. I sleep my recommended 8-9 hours of sleep and still don’t want to even wake up. My morning prayer is horrible because I can’t even think straight. I am sleepy at church on Sundays. I am sleeping during virtual classes.

However,

Today 9/11/2024 was horrible for me.

I was in a meeting with the principal, assistant principal, and several teachers, lesson planning, (as a student teacher) and I was asked why am I sleeping.

I said it was because of my medication.

{which by the way was it’s whole own story of me taking invega sustenna medication to deal with sqitzophernia when all I had was a perfectionist attitude and Vegan eating habits.}

Yet, I didn’t really know.

How will I fix my reputation, but most of all, how can I be less sleepy? 💤😴🥱

... Read moreSleep problems like excessive daytime drowsiness can greatly affect one's daily activities and overall quality of life. Many factors could contribute to sleepiness, including lifestyle choices, sleep disorders, and the impact of medications. If you're on medications like Invega Sustenna, it's vital to consult your healthcare provider, as certain treatments can interfere with sleep cycles. In addition to medication management, incorporating good sleep hygiene is essential. This includes maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a calming bedtime routine, and ensuring your sleep environment is comfortable and conducive to rest. Engaging in regular physical activity can also significantly improve sleep quality, as it helps regulate the body's natural sleep-wake cycles. Furthermore, consider evaluating your diet—certain foods can promote better sleep, while others may lead to insomnia or restlessness. If sleep issues persist, it's advisable to consult a sleep specialist. They can provide tailored recommendations and may suggest sleep studies to identify underlying conditions like sleep apnea, a common culprit of daytime fatigue. By understanding the root causes of your sleepiness, you can take informed steps towards feeling more alert and focused every day.
