I know why I can't sleep.
1) I've been hypo/manic/mixed for like 7 months now. One of the symptoms is lack of (need for) sleep. The need for bit is kinda silly becase you don't feel like you need sleep but meanwhile your symptoms get worse and your attention span goes downhill and your thoughts get bizarre and your judgement leads to you getting punched in the face.
2) PTSD hypervigilance and nightmares. Not so much the nightmares anymore because prazosin, but it's still in the back of my mind that "if I sleep, I will relive these awful experiences."
3) ADHD racing thoughts/hyperactivity. Never settles.
4) Being afraid i won't wake up if I fall asleep. Too many overdoses (I'm sober now but falling asleep kinda brings me back to that), too many unsafe environments.

How do I fix this? How logn will it take? Is it possible?
I do the yoga and the other exercising, I listen to o the postr-ock and the beethoven for the bedtime, I don't eat the large meals before bed, I stay away from screens before bedtime (though I admit if I can't sleep I do give up on this one), I journal to try and get my thoughts out, I go to therapy, I take meds, I get in my jammies, brush my teeth, floss, and either read, write, or color before bed every night.

But still cars go by and I jump awake, my mind says to me"must. practice. piano...GO LOOK UP SHEETS. PLAY GUITAR. PRINT OUT TABS. PRACTICE BENDING THE HARP!!!! TRANSPOSE AND COMPOSE LIKE NO TOMORROW!!!!!! You don't need sleep. You don't need food. You don't need rest. There ain't no rest for hte weicked and ain't nobody wickeder than you, sweetie pie "

But I'm giving up on music.

But seriously I thought I didn't need sleep but my hypomania is quickly turning into mania/rapid cycling again and my roommate was worried about leaving me alone today
