Dear Diary: It Feels Good To Graduate From Insomnia
I don't know for how long I am suffering from insomnia but it has been years due to my anemia that caused it which is caused by my failing kidneys. There are times that me and my Mother are having arguments because I am unable to sleep in the couch which is my bed in those years until.
She is telling me to just close my eyes and be still, well it is not as easy as it sounds because it was a full-blown insomnia. My coffee drinking maybe didn't help either because I was also a coffee addict in those years and I am just recently freed from the clutches of coffee a few months ago.
I didn't quit coffee entirely and I still drink it in the morning, only once a day is enough just to perk me up after I woke up in the morning. After all coffee is not good for the bones but it was too little too late because changes already happened to my bones.
Now I am medicating my bones as to not let it degrade any further. What I am doing is just controlling and managing my health issues. It is working but I have to take a compromise with my appetite.
Anyway as for my ability to make myself sleep like a normal person is truly amazing and I thank God for it because I regard it as a miracle from God, why? it is because my Kidneys are not working anymore and it should mean that I should be anemic but now I am okay based on my latest complete blood count (CBC) test which shows that it is normal.
Overall I am okay, not much pain if I am lying down in my bed and at least I can sleep much, much better now thanks be to God's miracle.🙂
Good news :-) Good sleep is so important.
Thanks be to God. I know how important sleep is to our body and our mind. I sometimes suffer from lack of sleep and do understand its consequences - headaches and mood swings.
It's nice to hear you've broken away from your coffee addiction. I think I did suffer from it as well. A few years back, when I got sleepy after lunch and need to keep awake, I drank coffee.
I was only able to break away from it when I was hospitalized for two months because of stress. I thank God for helping me as well during those times.
