The cool insomnia club #2

Lay down for a couple hours. Toseed and turned with nightmares of my dead friend, so, now up watching 24. Seemed like a better idea.

Well Zero sleeps for me ! but I was out washing my car at 5:12 this am as its the only time I can do it with out melting.. My car is happy

I was manic a couple of months ago, I went 4 days straight without sleep... Then I landed softly, and then was subsequently depressed, but through it all, my sleep was never rectified.

If I don't take my sleep aid (which I hate btw) I don't fall asleep before 6am... And sometimes I don't take my 6am nap at all.

Promised Parker (Pdoc) yesterday that I would try harder, but ugggghhh I just hate being a walking talking human pharmacy.

Chris, I really do hope u mange to sleep soon, I know you've been struggling for months.

Last night was a mixed bag. Got some sleep but kept waking up. Was in a crowded miles long mall with a canal down the middle. There was a bunch of us in a loose group including that blonde lady from Friends. I don't like her and I didn't like her in the dream either. We were on a glass topped boat on the canal and she was gonna jump off. And I was in a Chinese store. Packaging materials stuck to my shoe and I was accused of shoplifting. I proved it was not shoplifting but I had to leave the store though a back window and never come back!

Yes Parker I know he means well and is trying to help but ...... lets hope this works. I'm sure he doesn't want to me to paddle across the ocean for a chat

Well you and I both need to get it right then, because if your not awake what am I gonna do Ill be left alone and you know I wander into trouble if not checked on.. Im like a 3 years old after 18 candy bars left to my own devices

Lucky for you and I am an excellent babysitter with eyes behind my back!!! Haha

2.25am and still going strong, I'm binge watching, having a series marathon. And yes, I took my meds, mostly.

Mostly ? I'm staring at my world clock and you should certainly be snoozing .. do I need to yell at you ??

Well I am putting myself in bed for at least 5 hours... Sleep would be amazing but if nothing else I have to give my body a break !

Hope everyone is getting some sleep tonight

I'm glad to hear that, you need some rest.

Well yes mostly, I didn't take the promethazine coz it makes me feel gross when I wake up...
I did manage to sleep tho, so don't worry, you didn't need to tell at me (again) lol.

Hope Mr Sandman popped by your place.

I’ve been up since 4AM yesterday. About 21.5 hours. I wonder why things have been so up and down lately. They weren’t like this before. Mood wise I am fine right now. Perhaps a bit elevated.

Hey Nammu thanks !

I dozed off for a couple mins here and there as I bored myself to death staring at the wall. IF Steve can maintain how he is right now... for another day or 2 I am going to drug myself so far down its not funny... I just need a couple more days to make sure its okay for me to check out for a long while.

Lia , Yeah I dont blame you , I am NOT a fan of Promethazine , I feel off the next day, vision is blurry

mountaindewed... I hope by the time you read this you have good some sleep

Thanks. I got to sleep around 2:30. I woke up at 7:30. It’s better than nothing. I can function on that. I’ll probably sleep a crap ton tomorrow.

Just gotta sleep when you can, MD. Don't worry about when. Just do it when you are tired. It is all we can do.

Well , I snowed my self under for a few hours and woke up sweating..

Arghhhhhh I hate Summer !! HATE HATE HATE it !

I'm planning to snow myself down again.... Maybe ill wake up and it will be Fall ?

On a side note, I actually had a dream I was in a Plane and the pilot was a Character from the TV show ER and we skidded off the runway while trying to land... Guess Dr Carter should have had a pilot license instead of a medical degree

Yes Shhhhhhhhhhhh I'm always binging ER

Not a single wink last night. Have now tried three times today to lie down, as, when I am up, I feel just trashed and ready for bed, but when I lie down, wide freaking awake.

So, maybe later tonight or something. Dunno. No idea what is going on with my brain. no clue. Guess I will just keep binging 24. Jack Bauer is my hero!!! I wanna be like him when I grow up.

Hey Christina! You had a dream!!!!!!! Cool, flying is always cool.

I tossed and turned until sometime after 6 am, that was the last time I looked at the clock. Next thing I knew it was 9:30 and I had to hustle to get myself out the door at 10. I was dreaming but the rush to go totally obliterated my dreams.

Nammu ! I hope you only have one flip and one flop tonight and then you dream for hours !!

I fell asleep at 7:30PM. I woke up at 9:27. I have to get to Target at 7 and then I have a therapy appointment at 1. I’m hoping to get to sleep in a little bit and then maybe take a nap before my appointment. I just had some yogurt with my morning Geodon so hopefully that helps.

I'm still trying to figure out what time to take my sleep meds...
Too early and up too early in the morning, too late and I'm only waking up around 11am.
Ugh
On the plus side I have ZERO dreams.

Really great for me because I hardly dream, I just nightmare.

I went to bed around 9 and woke up around 3 unable to get back to sleep. I guess that's not too bad, but I function better when I get at least 8 hours.

Well it was another toss and turn night. Sometime after it started getting light out I put my sleep mask on and got a couple hours. The dream was about a ultra wealthy inbred family killing each other off for the inheritance. In the end there was two survivors driving off into the distance, an old man of 80 and a younger man or 30 something.
