[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 648368, member: 18238"] So far everyone has had pretty good advice. I'm going to ask a question because, from what little was said, you may have sleep apnea. That's when you stop breathing during the night, interrupting your sleep cycle. The reason I'm talking about this is that several of us seem to be overweight, stress is a biggie for this!, and that is the major cause for sleep apnea. So if you're having trouble getting to sleep, please ignore this as it isn't relevant. But if you get a full nights sleep and wake up tired or keep waking up throughout the night then you might want to have yourself tested. Its an overnight stay at a sleep center so you will have to figure out something with the kiddo's. If the problem is sleep apnea you will be prescribed a C-Pap machine. It takes some getting used to but was a life saver for me! Now if I can just get Lil to understand that going to bed at 10:45 when my alarm goes off at 5:40 is NOT getting to bed early! Figured I'd throw this in real quick since its relevant. For those of you who are not getting enough sleep and having weight problems, GET MORE SLEEP! Ever watch Deadliest Catch? Its the show about the Alaska crab fishermen. If you're not getting enough sleep and are overweight watch an episode of this. Not for their job but to see how a body deals with little to no sleep. Your body will crave calories if you aren't getting any sleep. These guys are eating meals that in my heyday of eating would make me cringe. They will make a thanksgiving feast look like a snack. And these guys are scrawny! But they are burning the calories with hard work so think about how much sleep you're getting and how it might be affecting your appetite. [/QUOTE]
