It’s effecting my work and mu boss seems ready to fire me and i will lose my apartment. I am angry all the time now and I worry I am alienating friends and family. I am fatigued all day long and want nothing more then just sleep and all I can do is lay in bed and hope I have a good night and sleep for maybe three hours and I don’t know what to do. I can’t even afford therapy.
Yeah, I get thatnis part of the problem. But I am addicted. I was able to quit drinking I quit pills with little problem. But this is something i seem un able to beat
It’s likely most of your problem. Alcohol helps you get to sleep, but you wake up after a few hours of restless sleep.
You probably need to work on your sleep hygiene. Have you heard of the 10-3-2-1 rule?
Caffeine and alcohol both negetively influence your sleep. So either cut down heavily, or quit totally
Just drink decaf! ;)
+1 for decaf. I went totally caffeine free in college, and there’s a huge variety of caffeine free / decaf options out there that taste similar enough to the real stuff. Coffee, tea, soda… I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything.
OP, brace for headaches while your body goes through caffeine withdrawal. It sucks nearly as much as quitting nicotine. But the end result is 8 hours of restful sleep every night with little difficulty.
Yea when I quit coffee, I was so irritable for a few weeks. I’m almost amazed I still had a job after that.
But after, I found out my energy level throughout the day was much better, more constant.
Less spiky, less crashy.
I think it’s also better for you. My grandmother’s doctor told her to only drink it.
