I guess your AP may be working as well as usual and is overwhelmed or that your AP isn't working as well causing the lack of sleep which causes hallucinations. (It's like the song about the old lady who swallowed the fly . For me the rule is 3-4 nights without a reasonable amount of sleep and I'm to contact my pdoc. If I do that fast enough a few days of a higher dose of AP helps. If I don't I feel worse.
But how do I fix this? Call after hours line? I tried taking photos but I saw my cat in them so she is real. Ts 9 pm here. I can’t possibly drive.
