Lack of sleep and its effect on my cognition

May 13, 2020 (Chapter 11 Stress and Anxiety in my book)

For me, it seems like the longer this pandemic last, the less sleep that I am getting. Right now, I think that I am only getting about five to six hours of sleep per night. Sometimes my brain just won't shut down, even if I take melatonin gummies. Some nights I can be exhausted but I can't fall asleep and when I finally do, I only sleep for a few hours and then I'm awake again. I know that this pandemic and isolation is wearing me down as far my mental health is concerned. I'm praying that this nightmare ends very soon!
