Hi guys

This morning was interesting. Woke at 5.30 and then had another 2 hours REALLY restless sleep where I fell into odd dreams , wake up, dream again, wake up dream again and so on.

I really felt "out of it" (BS was 5.7) and unsteady trembling in fingers .... 5 minutes after I got up and walked around, felt just fine. Is that common or can anyone relate to it?

Thanks

Mike
 
I had similar the other morning mike, had managed to doze until 7 am but posted I felt wobbly, was mid 5 ' s so not too low! Would like to know what caused it too!
I'm currently having a few bad nights waking at 4 am wide awake and feeling hot, not settling again- need to get on top of that soon, checking out a possible cause of potassium deficiency as suggested here

It could be a number of things like dehydration or your meds ( if you have them). Restless or disrupted sleep and feeling out of it comes with the territory. When I had fluctuating BSLs, I had terrible sleep patterns and it was like living in a dreamworld sometimes!
Keep an watch on your bloods at times like these and maybe have something handy to snack on and water to drink.
It could also be something that you ate before bed, milk chocolate give me weird dreams in my twenties.
It could be a deficiency of some sort as has been suggested.
Or I could be posting rubbish and be none of theses!

Thanks for that :) When I used to eat bananas, I had terrific dreams ... now it seems I can't remember any of them or if I do, I repeat them ad nauseum :)

I have water during the nite, I only get up twice at most to pay a visit and when I do test during the nite, the figures are great ... always in the 5s.

I think I'm stressing a little bit too much as well. CANNOT stand shopping anymore at the supermarket and I can almost feel my sugars rise. But this morning 2 hrs after breakfast (and the supermarket trip behind me) I was 6.4 after a 5.4 on waking. Just battle thru it I guess.
