I have been ignoring this for a while but its starting to effect my work so thought I would mention it.
I have been a poor sleeper from my 20's. However, in the last year or so, my sleep has deteriorated massively. My average night now consists of falling asleep within ten mins for about ten mins then lying awake for 1 to two hours, followed broken sleep sleep to about 5am. I think on average I'm asleep for about 4 hours a day and hardly any of that will be deep sleep.
In the past, I would usually have this pattern for about 6 days and then drop on the 7th and be out light a light for 9 hours but my catch up day has disappeared.
I have noticed a large drop in my cognitive ability and my focus is non existent, its like having constant brain fog unless something really piques my interest. My irritability levels are through the roof and I struggle to hold onto conversations.
Work have also noticed, asking why I haven't been as productive as previous years and why I'm making more transposition errors.
Has anyone experienced similar and how did they fix it?
I have tried the usual stuff, no phones or caffeine after a certain time etc.
