i have mentioned this MANY times here on this site,, YES ,, if i go back to sleep i wake up in a lot of pain ,, if i get up the first time and dont allow myslef to go back to sleep its good,, otherwise its
disasterous

I am sorry to hear Monts,, we are here,, I heard on the news liver disease is up because of this pandemic ,, I can attest to a beer to many most nights ,, but the liver is strong and can bounce back when we give it a break,, try weaning off the wine a little every day and mulitple days without so your liver can recover,,, also be kind to yourself ,, warm hot baths,, taking breaks,, dont take on the world,, say NO to people instead of trying to be superwoman ,, its ok to spend a whole day on the couch or 2 even to make the pain stop ..

I WISH more attention was paid to this,, i am now conciously trying to do some self talk when i first wake up so i dont allow myself to get to much back to sleep and kind of keep in a bit of a more awake state,, the last 4 days have really worked out ,, I used to lay in bed thinking about my dreams and it would put me back to sleep-ish,,, now i just try to switch my brain thinking into concious thought,, i think there is a problem when we stay in the semi-sleep (I call it the tweeners,, in between awake and asleep) state,,,

I am not sure. It supposes to do with your brain signals.

i wonder sometimes if it has to do with cortisol levels,, they change with wake/sleep and maybe by drifting back to sleep we get to much or to little ?
