“I can’t remember the last time I slept through the night.” 😵💫 After learning about the dangers of sleep apnea and not getting enough sleep, Jaimie was determined to get a handle on her insomnia — a process that can take time.
It usually happens slowly. Like the corner of a shade being lifted in a blackened room, letting in a sliver of light, thoughts about what I need to get done and my children away at college creep into the edge of my sleeping brain. I can feel them as little shards of light poking at me to wake up. I try to ignore them, so I can be left asleep in the darkness. But I inevitably lose the battle and open my eyes.I can’t remember the last time I slept through the night.
Falling asleep is never the problem. Before my son went away to college last fall, we had a nightly ritual of watching a movie together. If we started too late — and by late, I mean 7 p.m. — I’d always fall asleep before the end and wake up to my son saying, “Mom, are you asleep?” I’d rouse myself long enough to say, “No, I’m awake, I was just resting my eyes,” before I’d once again hear my exasperated son asking me if I was asleep.
And then the cycle would repeat itself. I’d fall asleep, only to be awoken somewhere between 2 and 4 a.m. On Saturday and Sunday afternoons, I’d curl up with a book on the sofa under our picture window, knowing I’d fall asleep after only a few pages. Those naps were so delicious and so desperately needed, I never set an alarm or asked to be woken up, and sometimes I’d sleep for hours., which means I stop breathing repeatedly throughout the night. At the time I was diagnosed, my doctor told me it was a mild case and I didn’t need treatment.
