Extreme Fatigue….having moved finally cross country yesterday after doing all it took to make this happen including putting my house on market and having movers load my house content for two days and also get car transported which has turned into a struggle etc. I’m not wanting to get ill and there’s so much still to do with resettling. So I’m sleeping and eating to restore this week and going to just do what I can while putting myself and health FIRST☺️👍🏼
Wishing you well with this move. People seem to be moving around a lot!
 
Confused mainly. I had literally no sleep last night, I remember every rageful breath into my pillows and every twist and turn. So I rage quit my bed at 6am, then worked all day, and am still going and feeling the most functional I have in ages. Maybe sleep is bad for me or something, maybe I have alien DNA.
With the adversities you've been sharing with us recently, I risk offering this guess: Your mind is on high-alert/short-term survival-readiness/problem-solving multiprogram mode, and with it, a drive to postpone sleep and draw out worktime. Evolution did not update our brains with a specified protocol for a 20th/21st-century financial/housing situation, so our brains approximate the danger to solutions that, for our ancestors, helped them turnaround in answer to a plains fire, a rival tribe, a lion pride attack, or rising floodwaters.

I'm wishing you the might to get the most out of this mindset, clinch a win from your sea of troubles, then get well-earned triple-quality sleep every night for a month.

Glad to hear you have gotten yourself cross country!

I hope things go smoothly for you as you resettle!

Yes I think this is the exact correct answer. Just keep trying to create conditions where I feel safe enough to drop off but is difficult. Maybe got a few hours last night but woke up 1.5 hours after I apparently nodded off, which fits the pattern lately. Thanks for your insight, appreciated!
