Hi Angelique! Thanks! How's things with you? I'm sorry can you relate. I've given up going to my GP about sleep meds because they don't help and the side effects make me almost blind (I can cope with the rest). I've tried resetting my body clock (they call it 'chronotherapy' which sounds very fancy! Lol), having a bed time routine, getting up at the same time every day (though ended up in the hospital last time I stuck rigidly to that: I imagine weeks of 1-2 hours sleep a night didn't help things), relaxation...basically have given up now and am sleeping until lunch time most days when I don't have to get up, and sometimes even when I do, which isn't good but I don't really know what else to try.
Is there a link between psychosis and messed up body clocks?? Cos I think I remember a few people here having a similar sleep pattern (unless I'm remembering wrong?), but no one I know IRL finds it so hard to sleep. It's not that I *can't* sleep, just that I can't sleep until 5-6am, no matter how early I got up or how active I was that day...it's weird.
wow! I'd forgotten how long it takes me to post! Lol
