The cool insomnia club #2

Tried to sleep, but it was super restless and I am wiped today. Just wiped. Ugh! Why can't I go to Walmart and purchase a new brain for $99.99.

Nammu Can the time you take the stomach med help with not causes a rukus for your ability to sleep?

Fuzzy ... You are so kind

BpCyclist? Walmarts only got broken returned shyt that they just put back on the shelf ,, Maybe try a medical waste company likely better luck there.

I got about 5 hours today, Over served myself Xanax but I had no choice, Micro burst sleep is dangerous if I were to need to drive.

My FitBit supposedly tracks my sleep, but half the time it says I didn't sleep at all even though I do dream. I wonder if I don't get deep enough sleep. I am tired all the time.

I have done a sleep study, and it's not apnea.

I'm on three stomach meds and yes two of them interfere with sleep. I take one am and that one is fine the one I'm supposed to take at bed time interferes with other meds working plus cause insomnia so I stopped taking it. The thrird one I'm supposed to take with meals but it's making me nauseous so I stopped that too. I'll have to call my doc on Monday and let him know.

Good Grief Nammu.. What a mess.. Yes you need the help the meds offer , but you also need to sleep.. I hope you can get it sorted out somehow.

Im so sorry you are going through all this

It will get sorted. I'm sure after the colonoscopy the doc will have a better idea of what to do. It's not far off. Thanks for careing

Sorry to hear about your med situation, Nammu. I hope you get some answers from the colonoscopy results.

Plus, you need to sleep because we need you to share more of your dreams with us.

I haven't been posting here lately because of my depressive sleeping (10-12 hours a night), but last night was a PITA with the fire alarm going off. I didn't sleep much because of it. It totally threw off my sleeping schedule. I also had a nightmare about getting stabbed to death, so that was *wonderful*.

I've dreams to report

The first one was the night before last. I was Stephen Fry, as a teenager. But the dream took place in the future. There was a shuttle UFO going between earth and the rings of Jupiter. Tons of obnoxious teenagers were hopping on the shuttle and doing teenager stuff and there was lots of oddball stuff that was normalized cause it was normal to have these things from other planets and moons. Then I became myself and the other teens thought it was cool Fry turned into an old woman.

I can't recall the second part of the dream or the one I had this morning.

It's after 5:30 and Im still awake. I even saw the garbage truck come about 20 minutes ago. So my new hand-me-down cpap mask is fitting great tonight and not leaking but of course I can't sleep. (I tightened everything that could be tightened.) Hopefully it will fit great tomorrow too. I'm starting to get hungry. Maybe I wont sleep at all. But now the sun is coming up and that won't help me feel sleepy.

2am and I'm wide awake - UGH

1236 AM and wide awake. In some kind of a weird sleep deal right now. Not sure what is up with that.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Im so sorry that sleep is being so elusive everyone

I have gotten some sleep the last 2 days.. Its not great sleep but its sleep. I'm sick and my asthma is flared so Prednisone Sleep is going to be awful for 12-13 days. But thats okay...

Nammu ! your dreams are so awesome and detailed

Awww.....asthma and prednisone is the worst (I have asthma)....hugs

I had a cool dream last night I just don't remember a lot of it. But it was something with ships. Ships that sailed the sky and a war, I think there had been a war and people were looting museums. There were lots of statues and gold covered objects and people trying to get into ships, old fashioned Spanish looking ships and Chinese looking ships only they sailed the sky not the sea. I do remember there was a sense of my being a giant and redistributing the loot among the ships to make it fair and that I shrunk and got onto my favorite ship which looked more like a fancy frame than a ship.

Hyper-awake here at 11 PM. Hyper-alert. Colors too vivd, sounds too intense and loud. Getting paranoid again. Getting a little psychotic once more. Everything looks phony and unreal, just like always. A fake world. Oh well. Maybe I won't have any more visual hallucinations this time. No way I can go to bed like this. That just makes the hallucinations way worse. Maybe watch a movie or something.

I’ve been awake since midnight. I’m tired I just don’t want to sleep. I’m drinking the new Mountain Dew that came out last week.

Hope ypu got some sleep, finally, MD.

What kind of flavor this time?

I ended up going back to sleep about 6:30 to 9:45, then going for coffee. I may have messed up my sleep schedule but at least I feel better now.

It’s called liberty brew Mountain Dew. It tastes like liquid gummy bears.

Hi Fellow sleepless friends

Im sorry our struggles are seemlingly never ending

I am currently on Steroids for lung infection and Asthma flare so I am getting virtually no sleep, I semi doze off for a few mins here and there but no "real sleep" I dont know how much longer I can take the steroids they are hell on my Bipolar and make insomnia even worse, But Hey a Girls gotta breath

Hope everyone can get some good sleep tonight

Hang in there, Christina. This thing is slowly turning. We'll keep praying our butts off...

I hope you feel better soon Christina.

I, too, have a love-hate relationship with Prednisone. I hate the drug but I do love to breathe.

Thank Bp

Polibeth I knew you would so understand it..... Total suckage isn't it !

Then we are suppost to get that Saharan dust mid to late week I think.. Of course Steve and I stay indoors it doesn't effect most people but anyone with any breathing issues are told to sit inside lol I'm okay with that because Damnnnnnn its been so hot out... Muggy oppressive

Does prednisone make anyone else feel like they are living on the Sun?? I absolutely burn up taking that garbage, I've hopped in the shower twice today just to cool off ! I got the AC on and fans blowing and Id love to run it at 40 degrees

Ahhh the fun

Its been so long( decades actually) since I was on that, I can't remember anything except I couldn't sleep and I was accused of being on cocain.
