Hi Everyone, I lost my Civil Partner to lung and brain cancer just over 2 months ago. I looked after him at home, visited him in the care home towards the end of his life, was with him as he died, and since then I have done all the "usual " eg: registering the death, funeral arrangements, lots of admin including fending off creditors I knew nothing of, dealing with my grief, my bills, clearing his stuff, having to look to move as I can't afford the rent here alone, trying to obtain financial assistance and housing advice. I was dealing with this alone, every day, worrying, and it was like being back at work juggling several priorities. I am 63 and retired 3 years ago. Now, I'm pleased to say all this is easing off. The reason I have told you all this, and the reason for my enquiry is I seem to be sleeping a lot of late than is usual for me. I sleep well at night, but then seem to drop off at the drop of a hat in the day, anything from 30 minutes to a couple of hours at a time. It's like lately I'm asleep 12 hours out of 24. Is this normal? I imagine it probably is but I'm not physically exhausted, maybe it's mentally and emotionally? I'd appreciate your views. Many thanks, Woods x
