The #1 Reason You're So Tired (It's Not What You Think)

I got diagnosed with apnea but I fit this description EXACTLY. Somehow I need to rid myself of the clogged ( restricted ) feeling and then all should be well. Maybe Steven N. knows the answer. Bandaids aren't perfect but they sometimes help until the fix comes around. Newborns seldom have the problerms of 67 year olds. They haven't had sufficient time to damage themselves. Names aside, it ain't fun to not sleep well and drag around all day !

Sadly, we think an external cure will cure our internal disruptions. No, changing how we think won't change how we feel, either. Just ask a new born, who, like the rest of us is born sentient, but without the neurological "wiring" for cognitive reasoning. (Still, via our adult capacities for deduction, reflecting upon our culture of narcissism may be worthwhile.) It seems we Americans suffer from maladies somewhat unique to the rest of the world(?), thus leading us into deeper dependency upon external sources to address symptoms, yet in the process avoid non-mechanistic, root causes. That said, if you want to support the economy and buy the "band- aids," well, maybe the resulting good-nights sleep will be nourishing enough to encourage one to go beyond the symptom based remedy. Love Always, Steven N.

Another reason I'm so tired is that my Mom, who has Dementia, is getting her days and nights mixed up. Last night she was up and moving every 1-2 hrs. This in turn wakes me up. I took her to daycare and then collapsed back into bed for 2 hrs of *uninterrupted* sleep!!!!! Betty J

Gulf War vets and PWCs Persons With Chronic Illnesses have this problem, continuously. I have found that sleeping on my side, head elevated with minium of 2 pillows, plus pillow between my knees, work for all-time. If allergies, congestion, fungal overgrowth of the nasopharyngeal tract (nose, throat and esophogus) or viruses are a problem, a cool mist humidifier with distilled water and a small bottle of hydrogen peroxide do the job. I have been tested repeatedly for sleep apnea, to no avail. Chronic viruses related to military vaccines are the basic cause of my breathing and heart problems.
