The cool insomnia club

I did another chemical take down last night.. Thats it for now .. I cant do it more than a day or 2 every few months or the meds just do not work..

So I will not sleep tonight, but thats okay I have ER on my DVR to entertain myself.

I hope you guys are getting sleep

I did extra of my Ambien last night. Woke up a few times do know that I dreamed but the only thing I can remember is being in a large dark auditorium that was outfitted with old webbed folding chairs and a heavy spoiled child sat on me blinding me so I could neither hear nor see the projected movie of stars. Somehow I knew that the earth was so polluted that no one could see the stars anymore. So they showed films of what the heavens used to look like. I was very old.

Nammu..... Very interesting.. Shame you didnt throw that kid off you LOL

But on a serious note.. the ISS is taking pictures from space and its showing in countries that have locked down the air is so much cleaner, Sealife is in areas that normally are too filthy for them to be in ... We truly are destroying our planet. One day we might be having to watch movies like that

Maybe I was having a psychic dream? That is what I have to look forward to, being smothered by a child sitting on me?

Nammu Hope not !

At least lockdown doesn't prevent us from going to the movies in our dreams.

I guess I've jinxed myself. Almost as soon as I'd posted about being able to sleep, I've started to experience insomnia.
The truth is: My meds were adjusted.
It may just take some time.

Socially Distanced.. Spiritually Connected" ~ Andrew Cuomo, Governor of New York State

I'm getting really tired of not sleeping. I got maybe three hours last night and I had tiring dreams about those days at work where basically the whole day I'm just yelling at teenagers. At one point in my dream I had to call in the manager to get someone kicked out of the park, and instead of the manager Robert Sean Leonard came to my rescue.

3 hours that's all.

Wild ! yes you Jinxed yourself ! Stop that woman Hope tonight is an improvement.

Spikes, Sorry you have an ongoing insomnia. Do you nap at all ?

Miguels mom , Ill hope tonight that you can double your hours :hug

One thing I really hate about insomnia and being older is that the lack of sleep really affects my eyes, they get so blurry I can't read.

Yeah Nammu that is true and its so hard to deal with.. I'm always putting in eyedrops, My eyes get so dry.. Sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesnt help..

I hope you get some good sleep tonight

A solid 6 hours last night. I'm really tired though. To get those six hours I took melatonin, double my dose of ativan, the highest dose I'm prescribed of seroquel, benadryl, a couple cups of sleepytime tea, and I snuck in some old remeron. I'm pretty sure the average person would still be sleeping now 16 hours later
and no, I don't take naps

Last night was terrible I was in a submarine with a dead body. The covid-19 was everywhere so I couldn't come up.

Hi, @Nammu, Do you think the submarine is your subconscious? And what do you think the dead body represents? It doesn't have to be a person. But then it could be, like representing the way someone used to be? Not like they used to be dead, but like how they used to be doesn't exist anynore.

My dreams aren't complicated, mostly they're enjoyable. This was simply a dream about my fear of the pandemic. The body was my mum. With states gung hoe to reopen and social distancing not being observed I'm worried that it's going to get much worse. Seeing news clips of crowded beaches and stores before bed didn't help.

I understand now. And I didn't know about your mum, Nammu. I'm very sorry. Also, I have been feeling uneasy myself about relaxing the rules too soon, especially when observing crowds of people close together & not wearing masks.

Ick ! not a good dream I'm sorry

Oh my sleep is just a joke.. Too much stress over my husband being sick and my pain.

Stop the ride ! I want off .. Dammit!

* Sleepy fairy dust sprinkled everywhere *

Purple good vibes everywhere too!

How did you sleep last night? Was it any better?

Ive gotten a couple slim hours here and there.. Its very light sleep. If I feel my husband get out of bed I am immediately wide awake...

Hope everyone is getting some sleep

I slept a couple of hours tonight but I've been wide awake since 3am However I have been sleeping in during the morning hours lately so that has been good.

Hugs to my fellow insomniacs

It's after 3:30 in the morning here and I haven't slept a wink. I haven't had my Rexulti for a week now because it hasn't been approved again. Well I feel like hell this morning. I hope the rest of you have had a really refreshing sleep that leaves you ready to face the day.

Vermozzica Does your Pdoc maybe have some samples you can get ? Maybe even a few days worth so you can at least have one a day. Im sorry your suffering. I hope that you have gotten some rest
