Sleep Issues - Thoughts?
I have come to realize that I would like to fix something I have grown aware of regarding my sleep. I am not sure if this is common or not, so I would really appreciate comments from everyone regarding this:
- It is very common for me to awaken to my clanging alarms, and feel very tired. Part of this may be that I do not get enough sleep, I realize that. However, even if I do get a variety of days of full sleep, I still feel similarly when I awaken.
- I do not believe I have sleep apnea. I do not snore. My wife attests to this. My wife has sleep apnea so we do recognize (at least her) symptoms.
- My wife reports that I either sleep a) without moving at all, and she sometimes gets worried that she cannot "tell if I am alive" because I sleep so deeply/non-movingly..... or sometimes b) I sleep with lots of rolling around and moving around much of the night. But..... there seems to be no correlation between either sleep pattern and whether or not I feel very tired in the morning. I always do.
- I often feel SORE when I wake up in the morning. This is often in my shoulders, and only occasionally in my hips.
- But.... I have grown accustomed to knowing that I can feel back up to snuff if a) I go running right away in the morning (even if I do not want to, I often do so.... just to feel better and more alert), or b) I am awake for an hour or two and perhaps have some water or coffee.
- My TMJ does not seem to correlate either regarding sleep. Some days I awaken with TMJ symptoms, sometimes not. But, I always feel tired.

I only tend to snore when I doze on my back in my chair. It wakes me up, so I don't do much of it. It's more like a passing snort.
I have my Celebrex and Arthritis Tylenol at night because I can get sore being in bed, more so than when awake, I think. When I am awake, I move more. I guess, like you, I tend to sleep quietly although I do wish that I could sleep longer.
