Yep. Never.

Maxamize dialysis time with a slower blood speed. It's easier on your body. Go for four hours. In Europe everyone goes six hours routinely.
Try nighttime dialysis, six days a week, at home. Or.
Dialyze, then go home and sleep for the night. Or.
Just accept the fact you'll get part of your sleep during the day by napping after dialysis.
Einstein slept twice a day for four hours, you can also.

I took earplugs to dialysis and slept for a hour or so.

i feel fatigue after each dialysis my body feels like it has a fever i can't change my hours because of the way the center is run i take tylenol 3 after each session to help me thru it wish i knew what caused it though i can't hardly sit in a chair afterwards mcate

My bestfriend has been on dialysis for about a month and a half and she is usually tied as hell after dialysis.Last week,when she got home,we went to pay two bills and while we were in the utility office,she started having a severe nose bleed,on top of being tired and weak.

I think you get tired is because of how much fluid is removed in a short amount of time. My treatment time is 3 1/2 hours and I had 10 pounds of fluid removed within that time. And i was so tired and it dropped my blood pressure and raised my pulse rate to 155 while standing. It gave me difficulty breathing and made me feel light headed. So pretty much the more fluid is removed within your treatment. The more you will feel drowsy and fatigued.
