My husband just called and we discussed the situation with one of us staying up. He thinks that if I could just get 3 or 4 nights of 8 hours or so of sleep I would do a lot better. I think he's right. We know sleep is extremely important when you're bipolar. He's barely staying awake during training today so I told him I would stay up with the baby. He told me absolutely not. The baby has screamed and cried nonstop today. He's teething so I suspect that's the problem. I gave him Tylenol and he fell asleep about 30 minutes after. I'm also going to do Oragel tonight. Hopefully that will prevent a repeat of last night.

I'm going to buy some Unisom today and see if taking it helps me sleep. All Benadryl seems to be doing is hyping me up and I would rather not take Dramamine to sleep. We need it for when people are sick. We'll see how tonight goes. If I'm still feeling bad tomorrow I'm defiently calling my psych and asking for a referal to the outpatient program.
