I cut my seroquel down to 25mg last night because I went to the gym late (6:30pm) and I was already tired as all hell. I slept soundly from about 9pm to 8:30am! Almost 12 hours. But I feel refreshed this time, I’m not tired still from the med so that’s good. I’m gonna keep trying 25mg this week so I can wake up earlier to get ready for work starting on 9/1. I’ll take the 25mg at 8:30 as usual and do my wind down meditation because that really helps a lot. If I can’t sleep by like 10:30 I’ll take more but hopefully I won’t have to.

I think my mattress is causing my back pain (along with a possible herniated disk again). It’s unfortunate because it’s a new mattress but we might be out of the return policy so maybe I’ll just put a thin topper on it. Not the 4 inch one we had before, just an inch or two.

I did sign up for Cobra insurance so my hospital stay and hopefully my IOP will be covered. It’s retroactive to when it got cut off. It was expensive but less expensive than paying tens of thousands for a hospital stay!

I hope everyone has a calm and pleasant day.
