Have you ever been so tired that you felt like your eyes couldn’t stay open. You go to bed to rest but can’t go to sleep. Welcome to the exhausting life of chronic illness. Non restorative sleep is a big issue, we go to sleep tired and wake up tired. It’s interesting to feel this way and work to function day in and day out. This is personally where I believe brain fog comes from, the brains inability to shut down and rest. With all that being said, I’m going into my partial shutdown.
