I hope this doesn't seem obnoxious to write, but I can get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. With my Seroquel XR (and other medications), it's easy as long as I take my meds on time, go to bed at a good time (with quiet and dark), and am otherwise not in a mood episode.

I need to weigh myself again, but even though I have a scale, I have found that weighing myself more than once per week is a bad idea.

I cannot go to sleep hungry and I do tend to get a bit hungry a while after dinner. I am also miserable if I skip breakfast, though I usually don't need a big breakfast. I think my appetite issues are related to my Seroquel XR. Luckily, I am not overly hungry during the middle of the day. Sometimes I almost forget about lunch or eat a very small one. Dinner is inevitably big because my husband is hungry after work. I also love to cook nice things for him. Lately I've been craving salty stuff, which is unusual for me. Usually I crave sweet stuff.

I barely drink alcohol at all, compared to the past, but I feel that my consumption is inching up a little. I need to get back down more.
