As you know, I've been dealing with fatigue since chemo (and that ended a year ago). I've been getting very frustrated because recently I've felt like my fatigue level was going in the wrong direction. I improved month over month and then started to feel like I was going backwards. I think I've discovered why.
You may or may not know that the Fitbit can track your sleep patterns. I tend to focus on my step count and haven't paid much attention to the sleep results lately. Well, this week I started looking at it. Holy crap, no wonder I'm tired. Though I'm going to bed at a relatively reasonable hour (compared to pre-treatment) and staying in bed for the recommended 6-7 hours I'm averaging less than 3 hours of actual sleep during that time. And those 3 hours are not even in a row. I wake up 3 or 4 times and have been "restless" 20+ times, on average. Well NO WONDER YOU'RE TIRED!
I spent time this weekend mapping out my Q4 goals and schedule. I'm hoping that I can exhaust myself at the end of the day and sleep soundly for more than a minute. I'm so hoping this improves. My body is angry.
Take care of yourselves, friends.
Love to all!
