Hi everyone! For the last 2 weeks I've been extremely sick with a sinus infection and I've been getting little to no sleep. I don't end up falling asleep until 3 or 4 am, then I'm up again at 5 to do my nebulizer (I have severe asthma which only gets worse when I'm sick), which makes me jittery, so I can't get back asleep until 7, and then I'm up for the day at 9 or 10. I've been so tired that I can't even explain it. I mean sometimes when I wake up with trouble breathing in the middle of the night, before I can even get up to do my nebulizer, I fall back asleep, only to be awakened gasping for air. And I know the solution seems to just be "GO TO SLEEP before 3 am!" but it's impossible when I can't breathe -- what happens is as I start to doze off I get startled and wake up.
My problem is that all day and night I'm soooooooo tired, and I feel out of it, dizzy, like I'm going to pass out, "fuzzy," and have "abnormal" thinking on a whole. Is this normal for a lack of sleep?
