I feel that I am so tired on the weekend and want to nap but if I do I cannot fall asleep that night. Sometimes I want to sleep so bad during the day just for a little bit but force myself to stay awake so I can get a good night sleep but then I'm completely useless during the day any suggestions??

@A MyMSTeam Member I am exhausted and fatigued everyday after work. I take a 2 hour nap same time every day. I'm different though. I find if I don't take the nap I can't sleep at night because I'm so fatigued. It's become part of my schedule and all my friends and family know it and work around it. It's like clockwork for me. However, today I was off of work due to weather and was exhausted and felt "stoned" and napped for 4 hours! I think it is due to my doc upping my meds. That leads me to my next questions on Q&A...

I know I need to get myself into some sort of schedule that I do everyday but it all seems counter productive when I cant sleep when I need to. I am one of those people that has their stupid internal clock all messed up so even if it is on the weekends im up by 6am and don't nap because I know I wont sleep at night so im so tired all the time. We are also getting our house ready to put on the market so along with that stress I feel there is always something I need to be doing and if I nap it wont get done. I very easily could nap but I know if I do I wont sleep that night and when Im that tired I am able to sleep for a solid 8-9 hours at night but feeling exhausted when you first wake up in the morning sucks especially when one of your first thoughts of the day is how you cant wait to go to bed that night.
