Slept okay last night. Usually I have trouble. I have ambien I could take but it leaves me feeling hungover the next day after using it. So I don't take it to often. I have a bad habit of staying on the laptop too late into the night. I have read that it is better to get off an hour or so before going to bed. I don't have cable tv so the internet is my only entertainment that I have. I can't concentrate long enough to read. Part of my disorder I think. Plus my mind has a tendency to race at night. So when I do try to lay down sleep isn't easy to achieve. But I guess I should try.

I was still wide awake at 1:30am. Then anxiety decided to show up. I took an Ambien and put on some classical music.

I slept really well. I am so happy that I adjusted my meds a few days ago. I slept pretty well throughout the whole night and got at least 8 hours, if not a bit more. No dreams. I rarely remember them. I think one of my meds may block my memory of them, but that is fine with me. I like to focus upon my waking hours. Those are the ones that count. What I do when I am sleeping makes no difference in this life, though it may to some degree affect how well or how poorly I operate in life if I have slept well or poorly, so getting good sleep is essential.

I sleep pretty good these days, courtesy of a good sleep routine and my meds. I usually get 7-9 hours depending on the day of the week. Even during my last episode I managed to get 6-7. I'll never take this for granted. My sleep was so awful before.

Pretty good, I think I got about 7 hours, not broken up or anything either. Maybe once I had to get up and use the bathroom.... also, I was able to take a morning nap, what a luxury! Holidays are so nice....

My sleep was very restless. It didn't help that my husband was restless as well.

I had a few periods of wakefulness and lots of bizarre dreams. Really didn't want to get up this morning for work, but I managed. Glad it's Friday!!

11 hours of pure, drug-free unconsciousness. Freaking awesome.

Experiencing great difficulty sleeping. In lots of physical neuropathic and joint pain. Finally, had gotten some sleep last night. Temazepam sometimes helps.

I think I slept about 8 hours or so. I kind of remember even dreaming, but I forget what now, but dreaming is good, so I am happy that I dreamed. I dreamed that I got some CDs! I remember now. They were speeches by folks who had some kind of success with some kind of healing. In the dream, I was looking forward to hearing these CDs and gaining some good advice from them.

About 4 hours from 10pm to 2am. I think I was just too excited about being discharged from hospital today. Had a nap today and don't feel hypomanic so all is well.

I'm lucky with sleeping. Usually 5-6 hours and it's good, restful sleep.
