Not waking refreshed and waking through the night are my biggest challenges.
I’ve experienced these symptoms for 20 plus years and started when I had a couple of traumatic events occur.
I’ve been to many specialists but I do find less screen time during the day and none 2 hours before bed helps.
I am keen to hear other stories especially how people function and enjoy life.One thing I know for sure, doctors don’t know how to solve the problem. They don’t even know how to ask about it. It’s very complex and difficult to figure out causation and correlation. Often, we try to pinpoint a specific event or condition, and sometimes it’s a combination of many factors. It makes me wonder if it’s better to focus on what a good nights sleep looks like, rather than what causes a bad night (or 20 years of bad sleep)
Does how you feel when you first wake stay the same throughout the day, or does this change as the day progresses or in response to what you do?

I feel sluggish and have brain fog. I always exercise in the morning which helps but very tired in the late afternoon
Lots of people feel sluggish when they first wake, due to sleep inertia — movement and activity are often helpful for that, as you have experienced.
It’s also very common to feel tired in the afternoon since our body clock naturally dips around that time. Again, movement and activity can help.
It’s also worth considering that fatigue is influenced by so many factors other than sleep alone— sleep itself often doesn’t contribute to fatigue as much as we might think.
