The counter is getting kind of dumb because even people who get 8 hours a night, after a week it would sound like they were awake an inordinate amount of time. Suffice it to say, I'm getting about half the sleep that is normal. Avg out 3-6 hrs. per night for a week. I feel mellow, true, but I'm yawning and think I'll go to bed. Intrusive thoughts have started creeping back in along with fears and the depression chemicals. I'm not in a depressed state yet, so I'll watch it and see how I feel in the morning.
Happy dreams everyone.
