I also seem to be having even more vivid dreams than what is normal for me lately, which I think are contributing to my constant waking up.
I'm sorry you can relate! Ugh! Not having sleep, makes me nutty! I'm a basket case today and hypo-manic. Don't get me wrong, I've gotten a lot done (LOL) but I'm also agitated and I know this can lead to a bad depression. Hopefully, this new med will work! I hope you find something that works for you too! Hugs!
