Especially with our PTSD, our emotional reactions can get really hard to control on less sleep. I find that my flashbacks are worse, that triggers are more intense...it's just a bad combo.
I don't think anyone with PTSD or and MI in general would fault you, OP, for putting yourself and your sleep routine first. It is part of your recovery and staying healthy. Just as important as taking your meds, you know?
Good luck,

I took my sleep medication after 10pm last night and I feel bad this morning. I couldn't get out of bed so I drank a cup of chai tea which didn't help my lightheadedness. I did a 20 min intermediate yoga routine but I'm not feeling well. Plus I had a frittata for breakfast which was too high fat and too low in carbs for me so I just don't feel good. Thank you for asking. School starts this week and transitions are always stressful even if they're positive however as I said I got some sobering news about my daughter this weekend so I'm dealing with that plus my partner's bpd behavior this past week so I'm feeling very bad.
