Ahh... bedtime. It seems to come around oh so often. I think I would enjoy longer days and less sleeping... But we all know that we have to sleep. Well sleep is something that has been consistently hard since I began having endometriosis symptoms.
At the beginning, I don't know if I would have been sleeping or not, but the pain was so bad, I basically didn't sleep normally for months. The thing with sleep is that we try to relax and turn off our brains and let the sheep counting take us away... Well when you have acute pain, chronic pain, post surgery pain... it is not easy to relax. I could make it throughout the day simply by keeping myself distracted by doing about 3 mindless things at once. But if I stopped doing those things, it didn't matter how tired I was, all I could think about was the pain. I was uncomfortable every second before I found a doctor who could manage pain while also dealing with the endometriosis. I have never slept with the tv on, radio on, or even been able to fall asleep to music, but I started leaving Netflix playing on my computer while I was in bed trying to sleep and I am only now getting myself able to sleep without the computer playing some television show.
