Sleep is the most critical issue for me now, the most important risk factor, I would say, for my not being able to cope with work and going into disability instead. I fall asleep at work. This past week I was getting from 8 to 9.5 hours of sleep at night and it was not enough. Yesterday I simply booked myself a conference room on a floor different from the one I and my new team sit on, put my cheek on the table and dozed off for 40 minutes or so. But it was Friday, no meetings, I cannot do it every day. I lose it in meetings. People look at me. Black tea does not help (my preferred drink). Coffee helps but I am afraid to drink too much (anxiety?). I will try to sleep 10 hours at night and see what happens. My p-doc said that such high sleep requirements are consistent with my medications. Only a month ago when I was still depressed I slept 14-16 hours.

A related question: how do you go about determining what amount of coffee is safe for you?
