I get really sleepy around 9 pm after taking my meds, but if I try to sleep my mind races and I have this feeling like I'm going to die in my sleep. I usually end up falling asleep on the couch around 11:30, then I finally wake up about 30 mins to an hour after that, then go to bed. I desperately need more sleep, so I can sleep off my meds, but it never works out. I take Prazosin for nightmares, but lately it doesn't seem to be working. I really do hate sleeping. If it wasn't for all the meds, I'd probably sleep less. Thankfully my pdoc gave me Provigil so I can stay awake during the day, from taking so many sedating drugs. I'm also taking Ambien, which isn't doing anything, so I'm not even sure why I take it. I take it around 6 pm and never fall asleep before 11:30.
