I have several choices for sleep meds that he prescribed for me in Dec 2009. I am trying to find which drugs and which doses will get me to sleep but not sedate me too much. It is really difficult because with my bipolar my insomnia varies day to day. So some days I sleep three or four hours and other days I sleep ten. No matter how much sleep I get I am always tired and I have been using that as an excuse to procrastinate for several years. When I feel better I will clean the house, when I feel better I will do the laundry, et cetera. But I never feel better. So I sometimes try to force myself to complete a task thinking I am going to feel tired irregardless so I may as well feel tired while getting some things done. Only I tend to procrastinate more than push myself.
