Fatigue

Tired, worn out, exhausted, drained, sound familiar!

I go to bed, wide, awake, NO I am really tired! Why am I tossing and turning and not sleeping?
I eventually fall asleep, I wake up! its 2:00 am Oh goodie!
toss, turn, fall asleep, wake-up its now 3:00 am...
Oh Father of Israel please let me sleep more than one hour at a time.

Eye lids are feeling heavy its happening, I am going back to sleep!
wake up....turn to the clock..4:45am
Ahh God did answer my prayer & God does have a good sense of humor, although I am not appreciating it at this moment!

In all my reading about Menopause getting enough sleep is essential.
its a vicious circle, I am tired, and maybe I don't react  to situations as I should.
I am tired so I have ZERO patience.
I am tired therefore I am grumpy!
I am tired therefore I should sleep!! NOT, Not happening..

I have found a couple of things that have helped my sleeping situation.
I am taking a herbal product called "Nutrafem". (in no means am I selling or promoting this product, it just works for me)
I also try and go to bed at the same time every night, and I read for 30 minutes or so, turn out the lights, say good night to our Heavenly Father, insert my earplugs (they work) close my eyes and try to go to sleep..(Lord willing)
For some reason the earplugs have been helping me sleep, it quiets my mind as well as all the household noises.

I will leave you with one of my favorite verses Matthew 12: 28-30

Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, I will give you rest. Take my yolk upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yolk fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light"   NLV
