Can I join the club?
If I don't take medicine, I sleep every 2 nights. I mean really. Absolutely no sleep one night, then a long deep sleep the next night, from which I wake up very refreshed. MAYBE that's all I need, but I don't trust it. And the day after the no-sleep night is very unpleasant, as in major unhappy mood.
I'm recently back on medicine, 25 mg lamotrigine (nowhere near the usual dose) and 15 mg of mirtazapine. I started back a week ago. So last night I got 4 hours. I wonder what tonight will be like. Life with bipolar is so darn interesting.
While I was taking the full dose of both of those, I would sleep 7 hours a night, all but maybe one night per week.
Sweet dreams tonight to all--at least 7 hours of them.
