Hi
I have been sleeping very badly lately (1-2 months). Some nights I get an OK sleep but most nights only 4 hours of very restless sleep (it almost feels like I am awake). Either I wake up at 3-4am and can't sleep again or I can't fall asleep until 3m and then wake up at 7am.
I am going through a very difficult time. I suffer from BPD and there are too many things going on in my life right now.
Anyway, my question is, is it normal to feel a constant confusion when sleep deprived like I am? For example, I am not sure
what happened when, so when I am trying to remember when I said or did something I can't figure out if it was today or yesterday or the other day. Or maybe I just dreamt it
Also, the days feel long (they ARE long), so I feel the day is made up by 3 days. This might explain the previously explained feeling.
*TW* I recently was in the hospital 3 nights due to being a danger to myself and there I got sleeping pills and felt better, but when I am out again the sleep issue continues.
The stress level inside is quite extreme. I fear I will lose my mind

I have excessive physical energy but then crash mentally for no reason at all.
Is this normal with the amount of sleep I am getting?
Or am I losing it

?
