That’s my issue too, waking up absurdly early.
This morning I actually slept through until 7:30 am, an absolute rarity. Usually, I’m awake just after 5 am although I don’t have to get up and would rather sleep in a bit because the most restorative hours for adrenal fatigue recovery are from 7 to 9 am. I am trying very hard not to go to bed later because I wake up early regardless. Even the night this week that I didn’t get to bed until 2 am, I only slept until 7:30 am.
When I was happy, before everything went haywire with my husband’s health, I went to be early and woke up around 8 am so loads of sleep and I felt restored. Sometimes back then, I would sleep straight through without getting up. Now, I am also more restless, I often get up to go to the bathroom. And none of it feels remotely restorative.
Someone earlier in my journals here mentioned looking at grief brain, there is a neurologist who has experience loss of a partner and written a book about it. I’m tempted to buy it but I know that knowledge in grief isn’t always power, you can study this phenomenon to death and still there is no “textbook” course.

In her book, Before and After Loss, neurologist Dr. Lisa M. Shulman describes a personal story of loss and her journey to understand the science behind the mind-altering experience of grief.
Part memoir, part creative nonfiction, part account of scientific discovery, this moving book combines Shulman's perspectives as an expert in brain science and a keen observer of behavior with her experience as a clinician, a caregiver, and a widow. Drawing on the latest studies about grief and its effects, she explains what scientists know about how the mind, brain, and body respond and heal following traumatic loss. She also traces the interface between the experience of profound loss and the search for emotional restoration.
Combining the science of emotional trauma with concrete psychological techniques? including dream interpretation, journaling, mindfulness exercises, and meditation?Shulman's frank and empathetic account will help readers regain their emotional balance by navigating the passage from profound sorrow to healing and growth.
