How much sleep do you get each night?

Sounds like me but at the mo ,im only getting a few hours sleep a night due to stomach problems ,then add to that that im really anaemic ,the iron tablets are making the stomach pain worse so i dont sleep ,im at the end of my tether
Im just sooooo knackered
Of to the doc in half an hour to find out if there are different iron tablets that wont damage my stomach or if I can take something with them to prevent it.
Funny enough ferrous sulphate never 'bungs ' me up ,quite the opposite ,it just gives me really bad tummy pains and nausea

Thanks. I'm fine happy-wise! A couple of years ago I was really stressed at work and went to the docs for being so knackered and she asked me "How do you feel in yourself?" and I just burst into tears - she took my blood pressure and put it down to stress. Which I agreed with.

I'm not stressed now, I'm happier than I've ever been in work, life and love ... Just cannot get out of this lethargy.

Have you tried magnesium supplements? I was like that a year and a half ago and it was amazing... after a decent, light dinner with one capsule, I woke up feeling refreshed and rested for the first time in almost two years... worth giving it a go, it improves the tranfers of energy between cells, apparently and very important to keep energy levels up...

I had to be at work at 7.30 today, meaning the alarm went off at 5.40 am...:eek: but the funny thing is that I was naturally awake by 5 am... stayed in bed for a bit of a 'lie-in' and then got going..it is was actually easier than getting up at 7 am! may be because I know that if I don't make it on time, I get f****- (it is a shift in live radio). I started to feel a bit tired after I finished that at around 9.30, but I am great now!!
I wonder how will I feel at 7 pm, when I finish tonight??:exclamati

I also advise to try magnesium. Just less then 1 month ago I was always drowsy afternoon, could not work properly and I bought magnesium+ B supplements. In about 1 week I noticed that my energy level is much higher than in was before. Now I am really surprised with the results.
So, try magnesium (bud not expect next day results, let it work) and lighter dinners.
Hope it works for you!
