I fell asleep, I don’t know. About 4:30. I missed dinner. I just had an orange right now.

It's absolutely crazy, but for the past few nights I've been sleeping (with a couple of short awakenings) all the way from 9 to dawn. Time change? I don't know.

I’m ok with taking the unisom now. It was just that one day thing until I got used to it. But I fell asleep at 8 and I woke up a couple minutes ago at 1:05 feeling incredibly confused as to why it was 2 days before Christmas and no one seemed to care. Then I woke up and realized it was March 25

Now I’ve been up for 45 minutes. I woke up at the same time as usual despite the unisom.

I fell into a deep sleep for about 3 hours. But I’ve been up since. I’m telling myself it’s ok to not sleep good every once in awhile. I can always sleep in the car. I just get super cranky and anxious when I don’t sleep well but I’ve been better at hiding my bad moods from my family. Especially these last few days.

Edit: I’m trying everything to fall asleep and nothing has worked. I’ve tried mindfulness, deep breathing, weighted blankets, and white noise. I’m just gonna get up in an hour or 1.5 hours if I can’t back and just chalk it up as a loss for sleep.

Well here I am up at 3am as usual. Guess I'll be late to work again...

Mountaindewed · Mar 26, 2021 at 09:04 AM

I finally got back to sleep around 4:30. I woke up at 7:15. I feel tired but I feel like I can function at least.

Mountaindewed · Mar 27, 2021 at 07:03 AM

I slept pretty good last night. I had my unisom and white noise on. Usually I don’t sleep too well in hotels. I did not take my Geodon and go back to sleep though. I took it when I woke up at 5. So I hope I don’t have too much trouble with tiredness today.

Despite the depression and anxiety I'm struggling mightily with right now, my sleep remains solid. It's amazing to fall asleep at 10 and stay asleep until dawn!

I was sleeping soundly until a cat knocked a shelf over. I thought I was dreaming or my brother was having a heart attack. It woke my mom up too who was freaking out. It’s only midnight.

gina_re · Mar 29, 2021 at 01:11 AM

Up around 1:30ish and I took out my aligners bc I wanna go back to my old habit of eating candy when I wake up in the middle of the night. WTF?!

Well back to many wake ups during the night. Oh my eyes itch so sad. Had covid dream too. Was a bunch of people not following protocol. Then it snowed and we laid out blankets to drive up this narrow road to the help center. They were setting out cups of coffee in the snow for people to drink.

Mountaindewed · Mar 30, 2021 at 06:09 PM

Last night I slept well. The unisom is really helping my sleep and also my nighttime anxiety. Also the good news last night helped as well.

Mountaindewed · Mar 31, 2021 at 09:40 AM

I took 2 unisom last night. I slept ok. I’m not that tired today.

Mountaindewed · Apr 01, 2021 at 04:39 PM

I’m still doing good with the unisom and sleep. It doesn’t work as quickly as melatonin does but I’m not waking up for long periods of the night and I’m not starving the entire next day like I was with the melatonin. It helps with my nighttime anxiety too.

Mountaindewed · Apr 02, 2021 at 10:02 AM

I slept so good last night. I slept more then 10 hours. I took my Geodon at 4 something and I fell right back asleep until 7:54 which is pretty late for me to get up.

~Christina · Apr 02, 2021 at 03:46 PM

I dont know if im sleeping well or not to be honest.. Some dreams would be nice tho

Mountaindewed · Apr 03, 2021 at 03:29 AM

I’ve been up for about an hour. I woke up for no reason. I keep sneezing. I must have sneezed about 10 times.

Polibeth · Apr 03, 2021 at 10:48 AM

I've been sleeping okay lately but last night husband woke me up at 2:45 because he wanted to show me something that he bought. He doesn't think these things through- that waking me isn't a good idea. So then I was up. Sigh.

Mountaindewed · 04:55 PM

I just took 2 unisom and a Xanax. That is 4mil of Xanax today. I’ll take my 100mil Geodon in a bit. I feel very sleepy and lethargic but I don’t feel like I’m in danger. I’ve done worse before.

I just want to sleep. I needed all 3 of my nighttime coping skills last night. I even used one this afternoon when I took a nap. I’ve had a lot of sensory overload lately.
