About using your sleep log to help get medical care...

[thisbattymom]

I am very excited to finally have my own Fitbit Ionic. I have been running it for a full month. The biggest insight I have gotten is that I simply am not getting quality, consistent, or long enough (in one block) sleep. I'm not sure where to go from here but I would like help with my sleep. I think it might help my other health issues related to autoimmune & constantly feeling like absolute crap.
Can we discuss what steps to take to get the most  from what we are discovering from the data?

@thisbattymom.. aside from the normal advice that is discussed in other posts, I think you may want to discuss this with a medical professional. they can determine if you need additional tests or analysis and help you improve the quality of your sleep along with conditions related to not sleeping...

Lack of sleep is the biggest problem because it is very detrimental to your health. It leads to inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, adverse changes in the intestinal barrier, and the development of autoimmune diseases. Poor rest also often causes inflammation, which affects the microbiota, causing bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. Overweight problems, depression, frequent infectious diseases, and metabolic disorders are also caused by poor sleep. But the best remedy is faith in God. I am by no means advocating it. I know that it helps a lot. When I can't sleep, I always read Bible verses for recovery, and it helps me.
