i read this forum, including this thread a few times a day. am 74 yr. old happily married, female, diagnosed with hypomania about 40 yrs. ago with no depression on my bipolar spectrum and take 1/2 of .05mg. klonopin in the am for my anxiety... this may be long as i type and think, but i'm completely serious when i ask why this is called the `cool' insomnia club...long before covid, i began having insomnia (i do everything necessary for good sleep nightly; work out at a gym every morning, no alcohol/drugs, regular bedtime, blackout drapes, noise machine, etc.) for several weeks i've now added an additional 1/2 of the .05mg. klonopin, along with my usual 15mg. temezepam and 100mg. progesterone. now even take a hot bath 90 min. before bedtime as i've read that helps with good sleep. even with all my sleep protocols in place, there are some nights i don't sleep well...when i don't get those 8-9 hrs. of sleep (med-induced) i am totally wrecked the next morning and must get back into bed and make up for those lost hours of sleep. i can usually make up for those lost hours....so i'm wanting to know what meds you take for sleep and how some of you get through the next day with little or no sleep. it sure doesn't feel `cool' to be part of this insomnia group when i am completely miserable when i have lost several hours of sleep. sometimes i go to other bedroom and that allows me to fall asleep. i'm open to what any of you would like to share regarding these horrible nights of insomnia. thanks so much.
