So tired

I am not sleeping well, and I'm not exactly sure why. I fall asleep easily but I keep waking up every 15 minutes, and it seems to be because of my spouse's movements. Each time he shifts or moves, I wake up. This is a big problem, how am I supposed to ever sleep with him if he keeps waking me up just be moving a bit? I wonder why I'm so hyper sensitive about it, I wasn't always, or was he just not shifting then??

This may seem like a silly posting, but it's amazing how lack of rest can affect your day. I haven't done anything today, or the past week, I'm just too sluggish, I've been dragging my butt around and pushing myself to do anything, event the smallest and easiest. My one theory is that I've been confined to my home for too long and haven't been physically active this winter. I'm a mom of a 4 year old little girl and I study at home online. I would have a job if we hadn't moved to a small town where the only position I could have are at a fast food place or Zellers. Nothing against those establishments per say, I just want to work in my field for once.. But anyway, back to my lack of sleep, I have also entered Miss Pissy Pants mode and am very easily irritated at, well, nothing.

So in an attempt to correct this and lose the 10-15 lbs I gained since last summer, I'm joining Curves, the ultra gym for women. I simply must fit back into my dress pants once I graduate, and I've always wanted to tone and build my muscles, I want to be strong and feel great, and perhaps sleep!! Hopefully this new innitiative will turn into a habit I'll be doing for a very long time.

Hmm... after reading through what you have suffered from your tiredness, I truly empathised with you on the lack of comfortable sleeps.

Personally, I do encounter such a problem with my wife. And she also has it. So, I tried to sleep on separate beds for a short while before gradually sleeping together again. This phenomena is quite related to the "insecure sleeping syndrome"- a subconscious "preferred secure sleeping" sensistivity disorder.

But, before doing this therapy, please be sure to communicate with your spouse first for better understanding of the treatment. Otherwise, this may lead to other complications !

Cheers and hope you will find some good sleeps !
