I miss sleep. But I'm only ever tired sometimes! Right now, for example, it's 11:30pm and I am wide awake. At 3:30pm I was a bit tired.
I'm normally someone who goes to bed around 9:30pm (I need 8-9 hours to be fully rested, and my alarm is set for 6am). Of course, I've got terrible stretches where I don't sleep or sleep too much or wake up all the time or wake up hours early and have nightmares.
Currently I've been doing this simultaneously: not falling asleep on time. waking up ages before I need to. waking up multiple times a night. loads of weird dreams and nightmares. Every night! (for example, last week I woke up at 2am and was up for the day!)
Since starting on meds I have kept track with a mood chart (for some reason had never thought to look up something like that online! Kept trying on paper and failing miserably!) (the mood chart is my attachment)
It sort of makes me laugh to look at it and see that in the past month I've had two nights that were a normal amount of sleep. One of which was me passing out when I got home from work and slept for a few hours. Then woke up for two hours and went back to bed. So it wasn't like it was a solid sleep!
I'm getting rather frustrated. Everyone thinks it's amazing how much energy I have when getting SO little sleep! Personally it's annoying the crap out of me because there is NOTHING TO DO in my flat by myself.
/end rant!
