Not Sleepy

For the last several days, after working outside all afternoon building a platform to get in and out of the hot tub, and then relaxing on the couch for a couple of hours watching detective series on BBC, I have had difficulties falling asleep when retiring to bed around 11:00 p,m.   On some of these days, there has been afternoon naps for about 90 minutes but on other days there has been no afternoon naps, yet the sleeplessness persists...  I am tired but once I lay down there is no sleepiness that arrives until after 2 hours or so.  In the mornings, when I awake and get out of the bed around 8:30, I am tired like I have not slept enough which quickly fades after being up for about 30 minutes whether I drink coffee or not.

Could this be my THYROID MEDS?

Perhaps...  regulating the Thyroid, as I understand it, is a tricky business...  and, while my diagnosis is relatively new, I suppose there is still enough time for me to have been "thrown out of balance," and will need my dosage changed.

Being in my 70's, I know that my age puts me into a category where normal body functions fluctuate, putting the overall body into a physical condition that does not necessarily follow the norms of a younger body when it comes to physical strength, endurance, stamina, eating and sleeping habits.  I am certainly no exception here...  but, as my THYROID MEDS has removed my fatigue, I find myself becoming more and more active...  and, it could be that change in behavior that has caused this sleep disorder to appear.
