Getting a good nights sleep?
15 / F
I always get the perfect amount of sleep per night. Well, it varies from eight to ten hours. I take a melatonin pill at night to help me fall, and stay asleep.
The problem is, I NEVER wake up refreshed! I'm always dragging myself out of bed.
I've recovered from hypothyroidism which makes you really sleepy, but I'm taking Levothyroxine for that.
So, why can't I get out of bed in the morning?
Or else, how can I get a more satisfying nights sleep?
It is quality, not quantity that counts, right?

Don't worry this happens to everyone.
I could go to sleep at like 8 o'clock wake at like 11 the next day and still be reallllly tired and sometimes it seems that i'm even MORE tired then I was befor I went to sleep.
My advice to you is get on a regular schedule if you go to bed one night at like 11 and wake up at 5 and then the next night you go to sleep at like 8 and wake up at like 2 youre still going to be tired because your bodies not adjusted to your sleeping schedules.
Be mindful of what you eat befor you go to sleep, your stomache shouldn't be to full but it shouldn't be to empty either. Digestion doesn't work well while asleep, and a full stomach may interrupt sleep.
and,
Keep your room dark, Exposure to light during the time you're supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your body's internal cycles.
Hope my advice helped.

Take melatonin less often than you are now. I tried taking melatonin nightly, but after a few days I started experiencing the same problems you are. You get kind of "stuck" in sleep. I now take it once a week, and that improves the quality of my sleep throughout the week without making me drowsy or unable to get out of bed.

Sleeping aids make you feel drowsy when awake, if you've ever read the list of side effects on the box of sleeping pills. I imagine melatonin pills do the same. Hmm. I don't know if the combination of drugs you are taking affects your sleep. Instead of an aid for sleeping, exercise a couple of hours before you sleep is a natural way to get your body tired and ready for rest. Don't eat before you sleep or do any strenuous mind-active activities. Find out what keeps you up at night.

If your taking a sleeping pill then the reason is that you never get to the deep part of a sleep so you feel more tired.
I don't really get the pills you said you take, so if you don't take a sleeping pill then completly ignore this answer!

Go back to your doctor and talk about the medication you are taking. You might be taking too large a dose of melatonin if you are waking up still feeling drugged.
Seriously, just go talk to your doctor. You have too many medical issues and medications for us to be able to help you. Go back to your doctor and take up your concerns with them.
