I look for this as one way to monitor myself for signs that I may be spiraling.. If I am not sleeping then I know what will follow next. I don't want to become ill again.
Also, I think that my quality of sleep is not great. I feel tired when I wake up.
Last night I was up late and got up to the phone around 6am. I feel emotional and frustrated with things today. So I am pretty sure it's simply that I didn't get enough sleep, I am one of those people that absolutely needs at least 8 hrs. every night consistently, or everything is thrown off balance.

Yeah pdoc is monitoring my sleep...almost went on ambien after a week of sleeping 3-5 hours, but I don't know I think acupuncture might be a little more zen and a little less addictive. Now if I'm sleeping Ok I need to get ten hours a night, but if I'm not sleeping I can feel perfectly fine on two hours. It's more like mania than insomnia, we're still not sure what caused my psychosis it could be sz,sa or even bipolar or it might be none of them. The current bet is none, thus taking me off the meds. We shall see.
