I find that I need more sleep than most people and it is hard to have a working life alongside colleagues who easily get up early while I can't.

I tried experimenting by cutting down on Seroquel.

I normally take 50 mg and I fall asleep while listening to an audiobook. So I took 25 mg and fell asleep fine but kept waking up in the middle of the audiobook and finally gave in and took another 25 mg.

Next night, I tried 37.5 mg (25 mg plus roughly a half of 25 mg). I slept less and was happy.

But last night I took 37. 5 mg again and ended up sleeping late. So it did not work the way I hoped for.

It is such a difficult illness: without meds, I cannot fall asleep at all, and on effective meds, I end up sleeping more than I would have preferred.
