Going to bed that late makes me a little uncomfortable.
I didn't want Benadryl to be a long term solution so I talked to my psychiatrist today and he prescribed Ambien. I started off with 1/2 tablet and woke up at 2 am. Tomorrow I'll try one tablet and see if that helps. I did go to bed around 9:30 tonight. If increasing the Ambien doesn't work then I'll take the doctor's suggestion and sleep at 11.
My mixed episode is calming down a little but I just don't feel great at all.

I feel nervous about going to bed late too. But if I go to bed at 9:45 I wake up at like 4 to 6 in the morning. Then my husband freaks out thinking I’m getting hypomanic.
