I feel perpetually sleepy.

I have a hard time napping during the day- scratch that I can’t nap during the day. My anxiety makes it impossible. However the second I crack open a book I feel like I’m going to pass out. It’s very strange.

    I found out in January that, every now and then, when I’m asleep, my heart stops for extended periods. 8 seconds, 5 seconds, 4 seconds.

    I wore a heart monitor all March and it happened 3 times. But never when I’m awake.

    Now I have a hard time sleeping. (3:48 AM)

      I hope you’re seeing a doctor or medical professional about that. An unsteady heartbeat can be very serious.

        A bunch of them! Yeah! Next step is a long term monitor under the skin. If it’s happening during the day, that’s a quick trip to a pacemaker. :(
