Currently, on nothing. I sleep segmentally. Rarely, 8 hrs at night. Often, 4ish at night, 2 more at noon, maybe none rest of day.
I do not believe my brain is capable of being sedated any more other than with a general anesthetic. I have been manic more than 70 times, to the best of my memory. My reticular activating system and melatonin systems are clearly badly damaged, likely, permanently.

re your final paragraph above: i am sure my brain is also so very damaged but i will continue to medicate to get at least some decent sleep every night. it's so very sad to read how so many of us have been sleep deprived from our bipolar, and now compounded by the covid. terrible.....just terrible....
