Personally, I don't mind sacrificing some sleep time because I have some great opportunities going. What I noticed, however, is that I can't stay up too late because I have to take Seroquel, Lamictal and Buspirone at night, which of course, makes me tired. Skipping the doses makes me feel awful, as expected.

I just had a meeting where I only turned out partial work, and let's just say they weren't too happy about it. Can't really come to them saying "I was tired..." So, I want to turn in the finished product early to make up for it.

My question is does anyone have a similar experience or maybe some advice on how to stay awake for long periods of time while taking medication that typically makes you drowsy?
I’ve been taking Seroquel for a few years now. I started out on three a night in order to sleep. Now I am down to one. Missing sleep on its own is not too bad for me. Getting broken unrestful sleep is far worse. I had been trying some other non prescription medications for a few weeks but it has been bad news for sleep quality. When I get good sleep I wake up rested after 7 hours, bad sleep and I wake up after 10 hours still wanting more sleep.
