I can't sleep because I'm (hypo)manic -- not sure which one tbh

I don't have any PRNs either. Well, I have Seroquel, but I ran out and have to find something else to put me to sleep

Melatonin didn't help me last night either. I tossed and turned all night!

I couldn't fall asleep . I'd get nearly there and then wake up again or my up all night friend would text me. I took a second melatonin and I don't know if that's what did the trick or not.

So glad you crossed that threshold and managed to get -some- sleep.
I would highly encourage you to sleep away from your phone if possible or at least turn the text noise off (understandable if you need it to alert to emergencies) and politely ask your friend to not to text you after a certain point; they will understand if they are a good friend.

For many people sleep is "just sleep" but for us, it's a matter of paramount importance. :-)

I had my sound on so I could hear my alarm at 630 to get my son off to school.

It's 3. I'm tired. And hungry. That as a waste of money on lunch.

No iPhone.

I just took a shower, dried my hair, started laundry, put on PJs... I feel better but I can't go to bed until at least 8. I saw in the Rexulti notes when I picked it up that it can cause insomnia!

Your son plays piano? That's cool.

I'm having trouble sleeping lately too. I've been averaging between four and five hours of broken sleep. Sigh. I have no prns either.

Oh dear raspberry! No naps!

I just had a protein shake. We'll see if feeling less hungry helps me sleep. Also taking melatonin. Luckily my son quit playing the piano. It is nice at the right time and place and sleep deprived mom being woken up by it is not one of them you know? Anyway I hope to sleep tonight. Feeling good that I'm agreeing with the Rexulti though insomnia is a side effect.

I have trouble sleeping when I'm hungry. I hope the protein shake helps you!

I should buy some melatonin. Maybe that would help me. My problem is that my sleeping arrangements suck right now. I can't sleep downstairs by my husband because dogs wake me up and it's too bright, so I end up sleeping on a chair or a couch, which is really uncomfortable, and then I'll move into my daughter's room once she goes downstairs by my husband, around four in the morning. Living with in-laws. Lousy sleeping conditions! I have to deal with this for the next four months too. I hope I don't lose my mind!
