Has anyone else’s sleep been completely thrown off during this time? I cannot sleep for more than four hours at a time regardless of what time I go to bed. Then I have to sleep at least another two hours in the day. I’ve tried to skip the extra sleep in the day and only sleep during the night but still only sleep for four hours (five if I am lucky). I end up being more tired the next day. I don’t use electronics an hour before sleeping, I’ve tried reading as well. Idk what’s wrong

are you working longer than normal hours? could it be higher background stress levels? do you have any other stress symptoms - irritability, teeth grinding, tight muscles, changes in eating patterns (a lot more, a lot less), headaches?

Wow. Never even thought about this one! I looked it up, and it said that people with dark skin are especially prone to not getting enough vitamin D. I’ve been going to the park but for the longest time I never left the house. This was really helpful! Thanks!

Lots of people having more vivid dreams and less restful sleep as a result of lack of stimulation during the day. You’re definitely doing some of the right things, and people have made good points about reducing stress. Are you exercising? I always sleep poorly when I’m not exercising regularly

Try exercising, it really really helps. Might be because you have surplus of energy due to lack of movement

Anxiety causes our hormones to secrete more adrenaline and if it kicks into high gear you can really deplete your system. I know because I’ve had a huge problem after working a high stress, fast pace life that did me in. One of the side effects is your adrenal glands/kidney/liver aren’t resting in the wee hours like they should be so you may wake up at 2 or 3am, that’s a sign that it’s hormonal.

Acupuncture and supplements for adrenal fatigue help me with this. Exercise to wear yourself out a bit during the day helps too.

Hi. I’m looking for advice. I recently interviewed for a job with the EPA. The hiring manager and team seems like it would be a good fit and I would be working on projects that would be what I want to be doing as a career. The job description has not been written up yet. How likely would the job be remote versus telework? My boyfriend has said he would not want to relocate. It almost seems like a cliché situation and I would be very conflicted about moving away from him.
