I take 800mg Seroquel (I've never heard of anybody higher on that, it's huge), Imovane, which is a sleeper and sometimes I use some of the Valium I am allowed. That would knock out a small horse. But not me. And still, like others have said, I can have a crap night's sleep. It's happening at the moment.
And I have Severe Sleep Apnea as well, which is a distinct but related condition. I have a CPAP machine for it, but it's on the blink and I was sent up the garden path about how to get it fixed so it's been going on for weeks. Now I've sent it away and it'll take ages to come back serviced.
Both sleep problems leave me with sleep deficit, which just throw my Bipolar and panic and anxiety disorders right into play as well as poor functionality and I end up hopeless and having suicidal ideation. It's just such a bugger of a thing to deal with.
