We’ve been talking about this in dbt this week, the impression I got from my therapist is that a big factor in it all is what kind of sleep you’re actually getting. So is it a deep sleep or REM ( rapid eye movement), I think there are apps that can track this sort of thing but I’m not sure. I get around 8-9 hours of sleep a night but I wake up still feeling fatigued too so I’m going to try and figure out what I might be missing out on that might make me get a more restful sleep. He also mentioned waking up in the night can obviously affect your quality of sleep so maybe if you’re having nightmares that can also factor in to that. It could also be the depression, it’s very draining and that can feel like it’s sucking the life out of you. I hope you can find something that will help.
hey there
Ive also been fighting daytime sleepiness for a long time. Polysomnography didnt come up with anything, same for bloodwork etc.
I've tried many stimulans (methylphenidate, Lisdexamphetamin-Dimesylat etc.)
What works for me now is taking modafinil. That isn't really a fix tho. Merely a "bandaid"...
I dont feel more daytime sleepiness than "healthy" people anymore (on most days). But there still are days, on which I can fall asleep anywhere, despite taking medication.
Have you tried any medication against sleepiness/tiredness?
