Sleeping More Than Normal!?

[Emilymarie19]

I have been sleeping more than normal like 20 hours a day for the pass 3 days
I just want to know if anyone else deals with this?
I have Crohns also, so I don't know if it's Crohns or PTSD related!
Thanks!

That is a lot of sleep, but if you're operating at a sleep deficit it's possibly just catching up.

Or, it could be a medication adjustment is needed. Have you checked with your doctor?

 

[Emilymarie19]

No I have not checked with my doctor! What should I say to her?

I googled it: fatigue is a symptom of Crohn's my two cents worth...20 hrs uh..last time I did that I was coming off a 3 day coke binge.

I'm hypothyroid and although I rarely sleep more than two hours at a stretch, I tend to nap round the clock and rarely have any energy. Have you had your Thyroid checked?

Well I am definitely not coming off a coke binge!

Have you had your Thyroid checked?

Yeah I have and it came back good but I can have it check again!

Hi Emilymarie, Sleeping a lot is also a form of isolation. I do it.

When my anxiety is really bad I can sleep 20 hours at a time.

Just call your doc and tell her your symptoms. Answer any questions she has. Then she'll guide you from there.

That is a very sensible suggestion BloomInWinter...
