I tried the new melatonin last night. I only took one around 4 and I think before 6 I was out. I also had my oral sensory thing which I haven't used in a couple months ever since my therapist called me weird for using it. The thing is that thing really helps me. With my anxiety and also my sleep. I woke up at 11 to grab a package from the table and often I'm up for awhile if I wake up at 11 especially if I go to bed before 6. But I just used my coping skill and I was instantly back asleep until 2. I didn't need to take any other melatonins or anything. I wish she would be more accepting. Even if it doesn't float her boat, if it helps me not misuse meds or sleep poorly then she should be totally accepting of it. 5:45PM-2AM is a good sleep routine for me because whenever I do go back to work I plan on working the first shift which often starts between 5 and 6AM So those sleep hours are actually pretty good. I'm going to shoot another message to my doctor today to see whats up about going back on these meds. I had not mentally prepared for going for bloodwork today but I will if he wants me to.
