I still find myself very tired most days around 1-2pm, but I'm usually to manage around it. I do think the routine helps, but I'm far from getting what I need to accomplished each day.
I've tried various changes in when I take my medications. I no longer use my decongestant at night, but I do still use Nasonex.

More Nosebleeds
For a while, I stopped using Nasonex on a nightly basis. That alone may explain some of my morning tiredness. I've now used it two nights straight and I'm already experiencing nosebleeds again. Stuffing my nose with blood and blood clots negates the help Nasonex gives me in breathing. I have no problem putting up with nosebleeds if it helps me breathe. This is rather discouraging. I fear it's time to contact my physician again....it's not exactly a favourite of mine.

Remembering Does Happen Sometimes
The grogginess I feel in the morning, the down-right impossibility of keeping my eyes open, even when my children are literally crawling all over me...I just remembered that I've felt that way before. When we lived in our last house, mornings were often like that. I simply *couldn't* keep my eyes open. I couldn't concentrate enough on what was being said to me to say awake. Although it's not something I want to experience again, it's nice to remember something like that. I've been here before. I don't remember how/why it ended, but it's nice to know that it did.

Whoa, who knew it could be *harder* to wake up?
Due to a large filling that has progressed its way into needing a root canal, I'm on antibiotics. Thankfully they're inexpensive, but I think they're making me even more sleepy. Eeeek. Since starting the antibiotics, I regularly sleep to 8:30 or 9:00am.
Normally I'd sleep late if I could, but recently I can't wake up before then. I wake-up when my spouse gets up, but simply *can't* stay awake. Occasionally I sleep after my spouse gets up, but it's rarely past 7:30am -- I just have too much to do, not to mention two kiddos. Usually they'll come in my room to see me when they wake up. I've even fallen asleep while they're talking to me -- something I can nearly always keep from doing (at least in the morning).
