Feeling Tired While Waking, Pins And Needles In Hand, Difficulty In Getting Sleep, Sleeps For Good Amount Of Hours

Hi I am waking up very tired and almost can not keep my eyes open to get up. I have slight pins and needles in my hands and I feel very knocked out. It takes me a while to get up and going again like normal. I can't go to sleep easily, when I go to bed I don't feel tired and find it hard to try to sleep but I have counted and I always seem to get a good amount of hours sleep but still seem to be waking up like this. Please Help!!! :) Chloe.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

We need to evaluate the quality and quantity of your sleep. This can be scientifically done with polysomnography test (sleep study). This requires monitoring of sleep in a sleep lab.

One of the common causes of sleep problem is sleep apnea, which can be diagnosed with sleep study and improves with treatment.

I would not recommend sleeping pills at this stage.

I hope it helps.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
