well today when i woke up extra early at 5

cuz i had to go to have a blood test today
i felt fine
 
after that i was ok too
even after going out to eat
 
then later i felt sick
sore throat and stuffy nose
and i didnt feel good
 
so what if i have a cold?
that would be terrrible
cuz im not allowed to take any cold medicines now
 
so do u have any advice of what to do since i cant take cold medicine??
 
my mom and grandma always say that when u have a cold u should rest
and my grandma sayd soup was good when u have a cold
 
so what do u ppl do when u have a cold?
 
i dont feel like chicken soup right now tho
but maybe i'll take a nap later
im extra tired, saturday night i slept maybe 4 hours (cuz i had a sleepover)
and i had to wake up early today too
rest. But I hardly ever get colds. Now watch I will get a cold now. ok i think i'll take a nap soon
 
oh and should i go to bed earlier tonight??
for more rest?
or is going to bed around 10 and waking up at 7 good enough?
Hummm... DKN. Maybe go to sleep when you are tired? How much sleep do you normally need? 8hrs? 10hrs? more or less?well it depends
i need about 8 hours
so from 10 till 7, thats about 10 hours i think...
so thats good enough
BUT the thing that makes me extra tired is i wake up in the middle of the night
 
like last night i was up around 1
and then at 4:45 i was up again
 
i just cant sleep since ive gotten sick
lol, too many weird dreams and nightmares now
 
 

dreams and nightmares. I like mine does not matter if it is a nightmare, I want to finish it, but never get to.

10hrs should be good enough.
 
Yeah, waking up thru the night really puts a damper on things. It does not matter how much sleep I get, if I wake up several times after I have went to sleep, it feels like I never went to sleep or "slept" that long. I am always tired the next day, and sleep is what I will crave. But I hardly ever get uninterrupted sleep. If I do it is a mircle!
i used to be able to sleep all night
then i got sick...
 
and then i was waking up 5 or more times a night
im happy its only 1 or 2 now
cuz i was REALLY tired before
lol
what was waking you up? the dreams and nightmares? or something else?well since i had started takin prednisone back then
i would wake up SOAKED with tons of sweat
it was weird lol, i was changing my clothes alot every night
 
then we told the doctor and he sayd that could happen
 
since we lowered the dose of prednisone its been less
i only change like once a night now lol
 
BUT the nightmares and dreams wake me up too
 
and i go pee alot at night too
lol
