Not sleeping well. It has been a week now and has co-incided with me becoming stable. No matter what methods I have used I only get about 3 hours at the most. My doctor says my brain is recovering and we agreed to try non-medication path for another 9 days when I see him again. If, by then, my sleep is still poor we will have to look at medication to prevent any problems that could arise from long periods of no-sleep.
I have just come out of a manic period so my brain is in healing mode. Hoping my brain will re-learn to sleep soon. I do feel tiredness during the day but am fully functional.
