The cool insomnia club

I'm sending kind and respectful thoughts to all who wish they could sleep more and hibernate more

Just bits and peices last night. I kept waking up because my hands fell asleep. You know the tingling that brings. Anyway no fantastic dreams. I was just traveling on a train. Sometimes it was crowded other times I had a whole carport to myself. There was one time I turned a golds spigot and got hot chocolate. Another time we were camped out in a tent on the bed of one of those flat train cars. We even had a fire pit. It was cold with the wind and we bundled up in sleeping bags. I don't know who the others were, in my dream they were friends. But everytime I fell back asleep I'd be on a train!

Oh Nammu it sounds fun !!!

Thinking of a calm, peaceful, sleepy cave

I got about 4 hours of sleep and I’ve been up since 11 and I don’t actually want to go back to sleep. Usually I do. Things are weird right now with me.

I went to bed around 10:30! And slept til I had to get up at 5:15 for work.’im still so sleepy

Hallie ... Go to bed early

Thanks fern and Christina. I do feel a little better. My sleep is totally messed up though. I slept 2 hrs the night before, and then took a 4.5 hr nap midday yesterday at my parents' house because I couldn't keep my damn eyes open. That nap totally threw me off yesterday and it still is throwing me off. I do not have anymore klonopin though.

Ah well. I guess I will just stay up until I fall asleep. Not like I have a choice!

I got 4 hrs last night. If I don't get enough sleep tonight I'll take ambien tomorrow. I don't like that I'm relying on it so much.

Blue ... even if you cant sleep try and just lay down in bed.. Your body/ muscles need to resy.. Youo might just fall to sleep by accident.

MM.. How often are you support to take Ambein ?

Pdoc never said.I still have 15 pills and an appointment in 2 weeks. She usually gives me 30 for 4 or so months. I have to be in a very bad place or up for days before taking one.

MM . Maybe ask them specifically what " bad place is and how many days to be awake"? Your bad place might be different than what they feel is a bad place.. Write it down so you can refer back to it...

I think this will be my last refill most likely because my center / pdoc is going to change.

thanks

I fell asleep around 10pm and woke up at 4am, with 4 wakeups in the middle of the night. I don't know why my sleep is so messed up. I'm not hypomanic or anything like that, so I don't know what gives!

Zero sleep last night. Just tossed and turned. Going to the stores senior hour. Out of just about everything.

Come on guys ... GET SOME SLEEP

I will tonight. Didn't get any last night and today was a physical day. Getting out of bed early and going to the store and carting everything in and wiping it down. I'm tired. Gotta watch Colbert first tho, need my before bedtime humorist

I got 7 hours!!! It was broken sleep, but... it's ok. I slept from 9pm until 6am, with me staying up between 2am and 4am.

I was hearing some voices this morning, but I recognize they're not real. I just don't get why I hear voices even when I get a normal amount of sleep.

Im glad you got a decent amount of sleep even if you had some broken.

Your boss isnt happy, COVID = stress.. Your not getting solid deep sleep = stress. Im glad you could tell they weren't real.. that's a huge step..

Hopefully your sleep will get back to more of a routine like you have had in the past soon

I can't sleep. Part of it is being hyped up from too much caffeine, the situation where the fire department came to deal with something down the hall, his smoke alarm was going off for 45 minutes and he just left his apartment while it was going off after he burned something, just walked out without saying anything or doing anything about it, so that was kind of stressful. I had to get a bag ready to go in case we needed to evacuate, but thankfully that didn't happen. And I'm having pain in my jaw/tooth area so that's keeping me up as well

Blue Bird .... Oh geeeezzz that was awful that guy doing that That would have me worked up too!

When I am stressing I clench my jaw.. I hope yours goes away so you get some sleep

Well another night up for me.

I got a whopping 2.5 hours last night with the Seroquel...

Yeah, you're probably right about stress. I got a whopping 5.5 hours of (very broken) sleep last night and I'm tired because my meds sedate me. I can't even begin to imagine how little sleep I'd get if my meds DIDN'T sedate me.

I hope you got some sleep last night?

My pdoc increased my Vraylar yesterday so I took the increased dose last night. I slept 8.5 hours!! Unfortunately, now I have either a sleep hangover or a med hangover (or both!!) - so hopefully the grogginess wears off soon. I don't have to work again until Saturday -so yay for that!
