I'm thinking about seeing a Sleep Specialist, or a Somnologist I guess it's called. Has anyone ever been to one?

It's been years since I've ever had the kind of sleep where I feel rested. Lately it's gotten worse. This morning I closed my eyes and slept for 45 more minutes but it only felt like 5. Luckily I wasn't late to work.

No matter how much rest I get, 5 hours, 8 hours, 10, I never feel rested. I wake up through the night, always. For awhile my cats didn't sleep with me, but they do now, so I'm sure that has some effect. When I dream a lot I feel more tired too.

It's been almost 15 where I dont feel as though I have gotten a full amount of sleep. I can never get things done because I always feel so drained. I want to draw more, be more active, more social. Things everyone else seems able to do with no effort but for me I'm exhausted after an hour.

I dont know if it's mental or physical, but to feel emotionally exhausted just doing things like going to the store to get groceries is so hard lately that I haven't even gone in weeks.
