I'm sure it's a fluke and has everything to do with sensory overload from being with my nieces all day (the best way for me to sleep is to babysit). But I remember thinking I was tired, then that I was falling asleep and I honestly did not believe myself because it was only 1:30 or 2 AM. And the next thing I knew it was 5 and I needed to go to the bathroom.
This changes nothing but it feels like a huge accomplishment somehow.

You know what, this is a total lie. I have believed it all day but I just realized I thought about it and decided that I shouldn't risk withdrawls from valium if I totally skipped it so I took 2.5 mg even though I was about half asleep already. I need to find out more about what to worry about regarding withdrawls from the valium. Last year I came off it but covered the change with an additional klonopin. This time I don't want the klonopin because it might make me nap in the day which could screw up the nights. And really there's no point in worrying about it because I'm a long way from coming off valium anyway.
But it was nice to think I slept without it. Even sleeping with only half though was nice; I was so much clearer this morning.

I was on valium once. Made me groggy when I took it. Withdrawal was done with my dr. You should be ok if done properly.

Thanks lostwander. I won't be coming off the valium for a while unless something changes drastically.
Drowsy would be nice. All it really does for me is when I hit a somewhat calm point I take half my dose and then when that kicks in (hopefully) I take the other half and that one helps me sleep. Sort of. I can't say that what I'm doing is really sleeping because it is so broken up. It used to just make me sleepy and then 8-10 hours later I'd wake up feeling good. With this mania it's not so good and I don't want to accidentally throw myself into withdrawl accidentally as I do not need one more problem. I imagine I'll get off it like I did before, increasing my klonopin and then reducing that to normal since it worked before. Glad you were ok with withdrawl.
