Exhausted
So, I went to the doctor earlier this week to the surprise of my trainer (I guess he’s more used to seeing people focusing solely on getting better them selves than trusting a professional) He was happy I went. I had a number of things I had to do and felt like I was at a more than routine check up. I had to have orthotics replaced (for those that don’t know they are placed in your shoes when there is an arch problem, mine effects my hips) which is something I should’ve handled a few years ago. but the main thing I’m dealing with is, I’m not sleeping well. I get to bed and don’t try to stay up late but I only sleep for roughly 2 hours at a time and it sucks. I don’t know what it is. So, the doctor put me on melatonin. I just got the stuff in the mail today and I’m hoping it works because I’m not only feeling like I’m at a plateau I feel like I’m getting weaker. I lift more, I eat more, I take my supps. Nothing is working. If anyone has any sleep solutions let me know. I don’t know if I’m stressed or what, I know graduation is approaching but I know I’m going to be fine in that regard. But if anyone knows of any other ideas I want to nip this as quickly as I can.

I don’t have a solution, but I can offer up one thing…
I have dealt w/sleep issues for many years and I found that you CAN NOT let yourself get frustrated that you can’t sleep, that will only make you more awake.
I don’t know if you ARE getting frustrated, but don’t let that emotion take hold of you when you are already struggling.
Best to you!
