In this week’s SleepDiaries, a 27-year-old business owner living with longCovid wonders how she can get the kind of restorative sleep she needs to support her health.
A little about me:I own various businesses , although I’m currently on reduced hours due to my health. I previously worked 10am until 11pm but now I work from 10am until 2pm . I’ve lost the majority of my income during the pandemic.my Apple Watch is set to remind me to go to bed at 10pm and wake me up at 9am, but that doesn’t always happen. If I am feeling well I tend to do as much as I can to compensate for the days when I can’t do a lot, so the amount of sleep I get fluctuates greatly.
Once I’m up I have a drink of water and put some washing in the dryer, before having a hot chocolate for lunch. I then pop out to see a friend before going to work. I fall asleep relatively quickly, but wake up at 1:45am with a bad headache . I also felt like there was minimal oxygen in the room, so I opened a window, put the fan on and waited for my breathing to go back to normal.
Once I get home from work I make myself some dinner – rice with jelly for pudding. I head to bed at 9pm, but end up waking up at 11pm with tinnitus and a headache. I have some water and manage to get back to sleep shortly after.You may also likeMy alarm goes off at 8:30am, but it takes me until 9am to wake up properly. I’m feeling very tired after my second disrupted night., but my brain is feeling very slow today and I find it hard to take everything in.
It takes until 3am until I feel ready to head back to sleep again, but I wake up yet again at 4:15am feeling hot and uncomfortable. I put the fan on and open the window before falling asleep until 9:30am the next day., sleep expert and professional physiologist, says:
