My sleep varies from night to night even when I take the exact same meds every night. I'll get 8, then 10.5, then 9, then 13 (including naps during the day). No real explanation except it does what it wants to (my body and brain). I couldn't fall asleep at all without diazepam. I need a refill on that soon. I did cut back from a full 5mg tab to just a half of one and it's still getting me to sleep before 11 most nights. I wish I could sleep without help, but it's good to know I can count on getting some sleep every night. You know how it is. We just need that secure feeling like we have some control over our racing minds.
