Oh boy I love it when I go to bed early then wake up 4 hours later fully awake. Sigh. At least my friend who lives in America is talking to me. I thought I'd be good with going to bed early. I've only just taken my meds now in hope of sleeping again. I don't know if the alcohol has to do with the sleeping cycle. But I didn't take my meds before falling asleep. I had about 8 drinks which sent me to sleep for a while. Maybe I'll sleep later..

I think the alcohol might of thrown my meds out of sink. It's almost 3am now and I'm just waiting for the sleepiness from the seroquel

Alcohol may help you get to sleep but it will reduce the quality of your sleep. You made a good choice by getting to sleep earlier. I am guessing to get more hours of sleep. A bit of anxiety or hypomania can result in waking during the night, fully alert. Don't go too long with nights of interrupted sleep before you get something to see you through the night.

I'm just thinking. Through this moment of time my memory is really ****. Everything that I believe to be real seems to be fabricated. Why is that?

Booze will help you fall asleep (it is a sedative after all) but will cause you to wake up just a few hours later since the body converts the alcohol into glucose, which gives you a sugar rush and causes you to wake back up (imagine if you drank a soda in your sleep).

Most psych meds that I know of are also not meant to be combined with alcohol. They can interfere with the effectiveness of the drugs and cause side-effects of various kinds.

Because we sometimes do fabricate our reality (everyone, the world over, does to some extent). Makes it harder to distinguish or trust our judgement.

Memory issues are maybe just a reminder of those times.

It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
