Most nights I get only 3-4 hours. If I'm lucky I'll get 1 7 hour night sleep a couple of nights per month. I get an 8 hour sleep once ever 2 years or so.
It's hell. I'm chronically exhausted. I take Nyquil cold and flu, it helps somewhat, I would sleep even less without it.
The doctors here will no longer prescribe sleep meds such as zopiclone long term . I don't want to go back on Seroquel because while I slept, that's all I did with it. Even at the lowest dose I was a complete zombie and I didn't give a **** about anything. Plus, I gained 70lbs in 6 months.
I'm cling religiously to my sleep hygeine, but it doesn't help much.
