I couldn' t agree more with the big orange kitty about sleep. Even after nine years of struggling with bp, I still have yet to find a sleep routine or med that really gets the job done. As sqrl said, during my "whiskey and meds" phase, I could pummel myself insensate for about four hours, but then I'd wake up. But on those all-too-rare occasions when I have been able to sleep until the sun is up, I find my view of my situation much less dire. At the very least, addressing the situation might give you a sense of focus. And if you do figure something out that works, oi, let me know! Being nocturnal was all very well at university, but now with a day job, it's bloody murderous. The dawns don't just come up like thunder; they come up like thermonuclear blasts. Ta. Cheshire Cat
