That sounds miserable, Nammu. I sincerely hope tonight is better for you.

Thanks, it usually is after a bad night.

It took awhile for me to fall asleep. I finally took a 10mil melatonin at 10. I fell asleep almost right away and I woke up at 5:20 and took my Geodon. Then I fell back asleep until 7. I ended up going back to bed soon after I got up and I woke up at 9 something. The melatonin made me unusually drowsy today.

But at least I’m in control of my Geodon now and am taking it at the normal 10-12 hours apart.

Ppfff my sleep has been bad for three nights now. I can’t sleep once I’m up and in truth am not feeling sleepy. But I do have a short temper and my back hurts constantly from the lack of sleep. I’ve got to monitor myself and make sure it doesn’t spiral. If it keeps up I’ll have to call the doc.

Strangely, 10mg melatonin + 12.5 Seroquel has been working pretty well for me lately. Still takes a long time to fall asleep, but I stay asleep fairly well. Sometimes melatonin causes me to feel weird (hard to describe...just flat or something like that). Other times it's helpful.

I was struggling with some negative thoughts but I was able to fall sleep quickly once I tried. Then I woke up at 9 something and flew out of bed and opened the door because I had a REM episode. I haven’t had one of those in months. I’m sure it’s all the stress that went on today. Then I fell back asleep until my brother closed my door loudly. Which caused me to fly out of bed again from another nightmare and I told him to leave the door open. So I’ve been awake for about half an hour. But I feel better then I did earlier

I slept great last night! Finally!!! Had a really cool dream of hunting in the enchanted forest and a unicorn was protecting me. So cool.

Yay! Your dream sounds wonderful.

I woke up from some dream. Something related to the movie Edward Scissorhands. I had just read stuff about the movie before. The dream was unsettling and it woke me up around 1. But I really can’t remember what happened so it must not have been too bad. But I’ve been up since.

I didn’t sleep too well. I took 10 milligrams of melatonin and then a mil of Xanax so I could calm my anxiety. I fell asleep fast right before 7 and I had all these weird dreams throughout the night. At midnight I drank water out of the sink and I drank a caffeine free Coke and fell back asleep. I’ve been up now for about 15 minutes.

I can’t sleep. I ended up going down the rabbit hole and I forget how it started. But I’ve been looking up past coworkers, rugrat characters, job listings, and then other people on Facebook I used to know. I also found out Mr. Rogers wife died at the start of the year and Sonic is going bankrupt. I’m thinking of taking my Geodon so I can go to sleep until 8AM. I do worry what 180 milligrams in 5 hours will eventually do to me though.

I had this weird dream where I was in a hospital I think. And I was waiting for my therapy appointment. But she was running late so I had to go into the group room to watch a movie. And there was this really mean lady who ran the group and I did something and she kicked me out. So I went into another smaller room to watch a movie. Then a few other people came in and this guy who looked like a college professor came in with a bottle of fireball whisky. I knew I shouldn’t drink but I ended up getting drunk. We all did while sitting in the dark room. Finally I had my therapy appointment but my mom was there to pick me up. Apparently I wasn’t inpatient at the hospital. I didn’t tell her I was late for therapy. I didn’t want her to see how drunk I was, so she went to this grocery store attached to the hospital to get me some stuff.

Weird stuff.

im ssl eping so much.

still sleeping alot, I am just going to enjjoy it

I fell asleep too fast before 7. So I woke up before 2AM. I took my Geodon and I’m hoping to get back to sleep soon.

I slept great last night. I fell asleep around 8:30 and I didn’t wake up until 4:45. I took my Geodon and then I fell back asleep until 6:15.

Second night of very little sleep. My head is ringing from the lack. Did doze off for an hour or so. Dreamed hospital dreams. Part of the hospital was a nursery for flowers and trees. A whole aisle was filled with poison ☠️ mulch. I had to mix it with a different soil to neutralize it and pack it away. It seeped though my gloves staining my fingers and poisoned 🤢 me. I was dying.

Im sleep okay, Covid Moderna shot thursday has me sleeping and napping so much !

I’ve been staying up later. Usually falling asleep around 9:30-10. Sleeping in about the same time each morning. Last night was good. I had my Geodon in my pocket and took it in my sleep at 3:30. I need it in my pocket every night so I won’t have to go downstairs and wake up even more. I watched TV all day today so I may have trouble falling asleep.

I woke up 20 minutes ago confused about the time. I also feel really sick to my stomach in a weird sort of way. It’s almost like a med reaction type way. The way I feel after starting new meds or getting a shot. I got my injection yesterday but I don’t remember actually doing anything else. I ate a pint of Halo Top and the other day it gave me a massive migraine. So I don’t know if there’s something in it or what.

I hate yucky dreams I'm sorry.

Ugh, kept awakening with confusion over what the time was. Going back to bed...

I forgot my night meds. Its 3 a.m. and Im wide awake. Just took the meds- waiting for them to kick in.

I slept ok last night but this daylight savings is messing with me today. I am so tired. It doesn’t help that the weather is crappy for the first time in a couple weeks.

I'm so tired of waking up at this time. And the worst part is sometimes I wake up and eat. Mostly candy or cereal. This is horrible bc I'm starting to put on weight. I need this sleep study like two weeks ago.
