I'm still ready for a nap around the 4pm hour, even today. Well, today was a little different as I was ready to nap starting at 3pm. I got a few things done between 3 and 4:45pm, so I avoided having to take the nap. However, the drive home was a little more challenging. Downtown was overcast and there was no need for sunglasses, but by the time I got to the 163/15 split, the sun was out and not only was I sleepy, but the bright sun was making it nearly impossible to keep my eyes open. I put on the shades while I was at the light at the top of the off ramp. I hit three more lights before I got home, and at that last light, I closed my eyes for a split second and started to dream about eating Trader Joe's Inside Out carrot cookies - I took a bite, then remembered that I was in my car at a stoplight and I would probably be hearing angry horns honking at me, the mere thought jerked me awake. Happily, the light was still red. But I kept on thinking about those TJ's cookies until I got home. Yes, I ate one as soon as I got home.
So, I still have not figured out the 4pm nap. Is it because I'm not getting enough sleep? But am I not getting enough sleep because I can only sleep for no more than 4-5 hours each night? Am I eating/drinking too soon after taking my Levoxyl so it is not being properly absorbed? My monthly cycle is greatly out of whack this month. I'm not even sure what I should tell my ENDO, if anything. I think I should be taking another blood draw to check my TSH and Tg levels, though, maybe in a week or two. I think I need to wait another week and see if things are still out of sorts before I report to my ENDO. Hopefully this all pans out soon.
