When I head to bed I have a terrible night’s sleep. My partner comes to bed really late and snores for most of the night, so I’m woken up over 10 times. I then start to overheat from stressing out about my sleep (which happens when my medical condition goes into negative mode).

A lack of sleep affects me a lot because I’m immune suppressed, so I know tomorrow I’m going to be feeling ill as my immune system drops.

Day 5

I make a green smoothie with spirulina for breakfast to give my immune system a boost after my terrible night’s sleep, which I follow with two rice crackers with almond butter.

Despite feeling tired I do a 10-minute dance workout to get my blood pumping and to shake off the fatigue I feel from not getting a good night’s rest. However, I’m still feeling very tired.

I know I need to make better food choices and start moving away from my computer but I am so tired from last night that I just work through because I don’t know any different.

Throughout the day I get chills and hot flushes because I haven’t slept and my body needs rest so I am trying to stop getting ill but all I need is sleep at this point.

When I head to bed I’m dreading being woken up by my partner. It’s so hard wanting sleep but struggling because you have another person waking you up and you have an immune condition. Having a solid 8 hours with no distraction or noise is the dream!
