I’m glad that you got a good Doctor! I went to Black Female Doctor before being diagnosed with breast cancer, and she told me not to worry about it, she said “ it was apart of my rib” She was dead wrong, . I wrote her a nice letter, no bad words, but I did tell her she was wrong in her diagnosis. It was my awesome mom that said, “ no you are going to charity hospital, my lump had grown extensively. Praise God for An Awesome Mom and Family. I was diagnosed with breast cancer stage 2, this was 24 years ago. The race of the person doesn’t matter, good doctors can be any race, just like bad doctors can be any race.

My beloved Mama who was a midwife for 6 - 7yrs in the U.K. and 40 yrs in total as a R.N. had me consume barley daily throughout my first pregnancy, and when I was exclusively breastfeeding my first daughter was sleeping through the night 8 - 10hrs by ten days old. Barley contains melatonin which causes you to have a deep, restful sleep and is just as effective in adults as it is in babies. I am in no way a medical doctor but, it wouldn't hurt to try barley in your porridge, soups, stews or teas. Praying that you get some much needed sleep. God's richest blessings.🙏🏾

Hi everyone. I left in a lot of pauses that normally I edit out. I have a lot of brain fog and I just thought showing it completely gives a clearer picture. It shows why I haven’t been uploading consistently for some time. It takes so long to film and edit when your brain power is low. But I was hoping this may help someone else with the same or similar symptoms. It’s scary and very annoying but I’m going to figure it out….even though I’m writing this 5.5 hours after my first wave 🤦🏾‍♀️

I am writing this at 4:21 am as my Mom use to say I got my days and nights mixed up. I have trouble sleeping I have insomnia due to childhood trauma which in turn caused anxiety. My niece is doing so many things like you and hope we all find the solution to this problem. Sending Hugs and Love with lots of prayers Akeeba be easy. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Hi Akeeba, please look into a Whhop watch. It will track everything for you and make suggestion for your day based on your pervious day. You can also print out the data and use it to show your doctor for a more compreshive report. It tracks sleep, recovery, strain, stress and so much more. Extremely well laid out and ease to use data. Very user friendly. It just might help you... Good luck!

Ok this is very personal… and I haven’t even finished the video. But have you ever been in a relationship with a narcissist/abusive individual? You don’t have to answer… it’s just that your body goes into fight/flight and changes your brain makeup dramatically… and can cause memory loss and brain fog for years. I only know because I’ve experienced it. On top of severe sleep depression with 3 kids 3 and under. I am sorry. Thank you for sharing your struggles. You do a lot! Finishing the video now…

Sis I needed this video. Thank you for sharing your story. I too was THE SAME. Teaching and picking my daughter up from daycare and falling asleep behind the wheel. It got to a point where I would have to take a nap in the car before going home. I thought it was because of the work load. And here I am homeschooling and trying to build BUSINESSES clean the house cook all the meals my sleep pattern is identical to yours. But I didn’t know it could have detrimental effects, because like you I add up the intermittent hours 😅 so THANK YOU for sharing. I will be making changes IMMEDIATELY!

If I don't fall asleep at 8pm , I won't be able to fall asleep until 5am 😢 Breastfeed then wake up at 2pm or 4pm to rush to work. Sometimes I forget my name or what the heck I'm even doing and eating has gone out the window. I hope you find a way to sleep im your sleep window and get full rest. Prayers Mama for both of us!

Akeeba, I am a teacher also. I have been through stages when the excessive work overload at work and being a team leader made me stay up after 12 at nights. I also started to fall asleep on the road on my way home from work. It got to the point when drivers were honking at me on the road. Luckily I did not have to drive on the highway. I have been through several illnesses which I have credited to my stressful life. Thank God, I am in the last few years of my teaching career. I wish you health, wealth, and wholeness in all your endeavors. You are a wonderful mom and a great teacher.

Akeeba, make an appointment with a Sleep Specialist Doctor. Have a Sleep Study. The Sleep Study will monitor your breathing, brainwaves and show how long you slept, how many times you woke up, whether you entered the various stages of sleep, whether you have Sleep Apnea. It will more precisely explain your sleep disorder. The Sleep Specialist Doctor is your next step. Good luck. I have the same Sleep problems and Daytime Sleepiness.

@AWanderingEye Ай бұрын

Thank you for pointing this out to us. Yes, and sleep issues can evolve over time. The study can be done in your home environment, too. It doesn't necessarily mean you have sleep apnea, there are many things that can be happening here. Data will help explain it, give a more complete picture. Some people do not breath regularly even while awake and that is a contributing factor.

Praying for you too Akeeba!!🙏🏽 We all appreciate what you do for our community! We can understand where you're coming from, but we all need balance ... Easier said than done, (I know) BUT don't give up on work life balance! I've recommended your channel many times and love watching with my little girl. *But* you need to *make time* and *take time out* to be whole and rested for YOU and your Princesses sis! Your beautiful girls will understand and want to help Mummy. Share with them that you NEED to rest, and maybe let them take on some chores so you can rest, and forget about the chores. Apply your professional discipline to cherishing YOURSELF! You deserve it!!! This also models balance for the girls. *Remember to go to bed this evening *AT 7PM* Start winding down 30 mins before and stick to the plan of restoration. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Take as good care of yourself as possible Ms Akeeba YOU DESERVE IT!!! ❤ We're all rooting for you and praying for you Sending love from here the UK 🙏🏽💯❤️

I’m going to try reducing my sugar/processed food intake and exercise more efficiently. Like Akeeba says, “I don’t know how but I know I must”… 🙏🏾

Wow what a great share and reminder of the importance of REST. Quality rest. If I may, I’d like to share my own testimony in case it helps you or anyone who comes across it. I used to think I had insomnia as a child/young adult. I never talked to my doctor about it and so I was never formally diagnosed but I took the “night owl” label and hoped for good night’s rest as often as possible. After I was born again (as a young adult) I realized one day that I had been cured from insomnia. I realized that I was able to go asleep quickly, stay asleep, no longer a night owl, sleeping a full 6-8 hours. I also have scoliosis so many nights were literally hours of trying to find a comfortable position to sleep in. Super annoying and just draining. But all that disappeared when I accepted Christ. Truly not a sales pitch but is my testimony. Go to the doctor but also pray for healing. God is absolutely a healer! He healed me from insomnia and I just “happened” to realize it. He heals you from things you didn’t pray about and may not even notice immediately. Just wanted to add that as encouragement to someone out there ❤

Oh, how I wish every doctor is like yours! You even gave her an "out" by suggesting depression, but she was thorough and didn't go straight to pharmaceuticals! I hope you realize you have a prized physician!! So simple, yet, so profound. Should be the norm, but totally isn't! God bless you on this sleep journey. I know it's not easy, especially with kids, but at least, since you are self-employed, you have a bit more freedom to try and structure a day around your circadian rhythm- a freedom that I'm trying to create for myself (working on getting out of corporate). I wish you well and excellent health.

Akeeba, it maybe a hormonal imbalance. Have your vitamin D levels tested and then supplement. As a black person I adjusted my vitamin D levels and sleep well During the pandemic that regiment also provided immunity fighting properties to what was going on around us. Now I take 10k iu of Vitamin D 3. Four times a week along with Vitamin K. I'd avoid sleep aids and cold medicines to get restful sleep
