It's really hard to wake up, it's really hard to leave home, hard to do something - and worst of all: I'm constantly tierd I think it's not depression - cause my mood is from quite good to neutral - and I need to do something I tried tryptophan supplements, energy drinks - nothin works Only idea left is to sleep so long to overcome this - but I think it's just stupid Any ideas what can I do with this problem? _________________ Scio me nihil scire I know that I know nothing Back to top Pondering Phoenix Joined: Oct 25, 2010 Age: 22 Posts: 812 Location: WA Posted: Sun Aug 19, 2012 7:38 pm?? ?Post subject: Oversleeping can be a problem that causes lack of energy. Not sure if that is your problem, but you mentioned sleeping for long so I thought I would mention it. Might wanna get checked by a doctor about why you lack so much energy. There are a bunch of reasons why someone could feel this way. Sometimes it goes much deeper than an issue that can be solved by taking supplements, working out, changing your diet, meditating, therapies, and so on... For example, I know someone who felt this way for a long time, so he went to the doc and got some bloodwork done. Apparently his Testosterone is low, so he went on Testosterone Replacement Therapy, and all is better. _________________ "You know, the blues ain't nothing but a worried ole heart disease"-Son House Your Aspie score: 164 of 200 Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 64 of 200 You are very likely an Aspie Back to top MrBryce Emu Egg Joined: May 22, 2012 Posts: 6 Location: Seattle, WA Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2012 2:34 am?? ?Post subject: "It's really hard to wake up" "It's really hard to wake up" sounds very familiar to me. Until two months ago, I would regularly go to bed wired and wake up exhausted after 8+ hours of sleep. I found an article called ?6 Surprising Sleep Wreckers? on WebMD dot com with this quote in it "People with chronic pain often wake up feeling more tired than they were when they went to bed," The best description of my problem I have ever heard. Quote: People who have GERD -- gastroesophageal reflux disorder -- often find the nights difficult. Once they're lying down, the acid can back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and pain. Some try to sleep propped up on pillows to cope. "Acid reflux is a biggie when it comes to disturbed sleep," says Ronald Kramer, MD, a spokesperson for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and specialist at the Colorado Sleep Disorders Center in Englewood, Colo. "Whenever I see a person with sleep problems, I always screen for it." What you might not know is that GERD doesn't always cause such dramatic symptoms. Some people might only have one constant symptom: disturbed sleep. "Even if you rarely have pain, the acid can still be waking you up at night," says Kramer... "6 Surprising Sleep Wreckers" After I read that, I decided to test it for myself. I had already been diagnosed with GERD, but I had ignored it because it didn't seem to bother me much. I tested the theory by taking a full dose of Ibuprofen (400mg) and Acetaminophen (500mg) every 4 hours when trying to sleep. I also took Tums (calcium carbonate) and slept in a reclining chair. I considered this a test case to confirm that pain/discomfort was the problem. I noticed better sleep after 3-4 days. I also started taking Zantac at night and avoided foods with hot spices, tomatoes, onions. I'm not a doctor, so I can not recommend that you do the same. Both of those medications can cause liver damage when taken for longer than recommended. I would recommend that you see a doctor, but I saw 5 doctors about this and I usually got some equivalent of "exercise more" or "I don't know" as an answer after they ran some tests. But, recently I've seen a Gastroenterologist and was diagnosed with IBS contribute to the GERD. I have done some research and a few facts seem uncontroversial. GERD causes pain. Pain is a well documented cause of insomnia. ASD is correlated with GI problems and insensitivity to pain. Back to top
