Last night, I must have forgotten to take my nighttime Seroquel. I listened to an audiobook for a long time and then, not sleep at all, I realized that I must have forgotten the pills. It was already 1:30 AM. When it is that late, I take Lybalvi (Zyprexa+) and not even try Seroquel because Lybalvi is more reliable. I took it (the low dose of 5 mg) and started another familiar audiobook. I fell asleep almost instantly, at the very beginning of the story, and slept through until 6AM when I got up to pee and was not sleepy. But I had had only 4 hours of sleep. Then I took a little nap. Then was up, spent an hour in a work meeting. Then had a another nap. Ultimately I took three short separate naps. In the afternoon, was fine, productive, and exercised a lot. Soon will go to bed and will not forget my Seroquel tonight. I will now take Seroquel at the same time with pouring distilled water into the humidifier chamber. That will help me remember the pills.
10:55 PM good night
