I can't get enough sleep. When Jim was first diagnosed and went through surgery, chemo and radiation, I had the same problem. It lasted for a year. I actually made appointments with the Dr. believing there was some physical explanation for my fatigue. He discovered that my hemoglobin was a very little bit low and put me through the battery of tests. No underlying problem. I took iron supplememts but I can't really say they helped.
Now, after several other stressful periods, I have decided the need for sleep accompanies the caregiver job.
I can sleep (and do) for 9 hrs straight, take a 2 hour nap, and still want more! I hate to waste so much time--at an age when time is at a premium.
