Cool Insomnia Club #3

Oh lordie I didn’t get any sleep last night! Went to bed my usual time, took my usual meds and read for the usual amount of time(30 minutes ) but couldn’t sleep. Time speeded up and went by lighting fast and soon my alarm went off. I reacted swiftly turning it off and said **** this! Then I dreamed for about 45 minutes about getting up and getting my swimsuit for swimming and that turned into a different house with a lot of people in it and one of them throwing a party. When that was over it was too late to get up foe swimming but still my head hurt and I was groggy from the lack of sleep! Oh ugh. 😑

I apparently slept but I can't tell if it was enough. Maybe I need more time to observe myself, although I seem to be having attention problems lately.

It's nearly 3:00 am and I've just been tossing and turning.

Now it's 3:45 a.m. I feel itchy all over. I took benadryl and it hasn't helped with the itching or sleeplessness. Guess this is what I get for drinking half a cold brew coffee at 7 pm.

I took 2 mg Haldol PRN just now in case the itching is psychosomatic or hallucinations. We shall see.

Edit: now it's 4:45 and I don't itch anymore!

5:00 am and no more itching.! Must've been hallucinations because it went away after the Haldol not the Benadryl.

I didn’t sleep too well. I did take a 10 mil melatonin before going to bed. But I really need 20mil to fall asleep and to sleep ok. I was watching TV in my room for most of the afternoon and until about 7PM. They say only to use your bedroom for sleep but here I am with a 33 inch screen mounted on the wall directly in front of my bed.

But I was doing laundry too but then I fell asleep before the second load was dry. I woke up around 9 or so to turn off the dryer which was going on and off. It does that so your clothes don’t get wrinkled I think. Then I fell back asleep and woke up close to 1AM. I tried my music and I didn’t have any luck. Finally I took 30 mil of melatonin around 2:30. But I didn’t take any Benadryl or any zzquil gummies. I fell asleep for an hour or 2. I’ve been up for less then an hour but it’s still very early.

I’m used to 30 mil of melatonin so it’s not a big deal. And the first 10mil was hours before the 30mil.

Edit: I drank a protein shake and 3 zero sugar cream soda Dr. Peppers so I feel fine now.

Finally fell asleep around 5. Had 4 hours sleep. Gonna try to get more.

Last night I got about 6 hours, much better than the night before but my covers were on the floor. I was cycling around Thailand or Korea in my dreams. Much cycling between cities. Must have also been moving while dreaming!

Moose glad things got sorted.

Nammu sorry your dealing with the no sleep garbage. Hopefully that wont continue.. I'm glad you were able to finally get some, Lovely dream.

Im not doing so good sleep wise Pretty frantic over it .. Eekkk !

Sleepy tea and hugs ~

Oh no Christina! I hope this is just a blip.

Sweet dreams tonight, Christina.

I fell asleep last night at 11 fully clothed besides my boots and my hat. I didn’t take any melatonin. I was just exhausted. I woke up at my usual 5:30 time feeling pretty rested. Although I guess 11-5:30 isn’t really a ton of sleep.

I don’t know what time I fell asleep but it was early. Then I woke up at about 3:50. I thought I was going to stay up so I had a soda and a protein drink. But then I fell back asleep for about an hour or so. I had the song The Scientist by Coldplay playing when I fell asleep and I woke up to Someone Like You by Adele. I have quite a few songs in between those 2 so I fell back asleep for a bit.

I woke up way early and was wide awake, so I got up and watched loony tunes. Then at 9am I went back to bed. Every time I go back to bed after watching loony tunes I have such fun weird dreams. Today was carrying a big baby doll dressed in shiny purple upside down. Someone told me to go to the hospital so I drove an old VW to this huge old stone castle and signed in with a nurse who was on her way home. She took my keys but didn’t give me a room, so I wondered around all night up and down old staircases and hallways. Then it was morning and I wanted breakfast but there were no staff. I tried following other patients but couldn’t find the dinner. Then it was time for lunch and I was really hungry but again I couldn’t find the dining room. I finally found something but it was blocked by walls you had to climb and other obstacles and I had my hands full with the baby doll. I finally found a way in and got up to the soup line only to end up with a big bowl of paper ghosts. I was really irritated but finally found the real cafeteria but it was Halloween and all they had was bags of candy and popcorn 🍿. I woke up very hungry! 😃

Slept about 15 hours this week, screw sleep I don't need it waste of time I say!!! Pnurse is okay with it, surprisingly this one isn't lame and pushing me to take my PRN

I took the melatonin and Benadryl. I for some reason didn’t want to sleep with my pants on. I fell asleep around 7 and I woke up about 15 minutes ago. Way too early. I had a dream where I had a giant brown bear as a pet named Bear. Then there was a fire and we were confused about where to go. So we went to the basement then came upstairs. The fire was out by then. But we couldn’t find Bear. So I went to the basement and I found him and he was safe he was just hiding.

But I feel kinda nauseated right now. It was a generic brand of Benadryl that I had never had before.

Edit: I fell back asleep for an hour but it was still early when I woke up. I fell asleep with the song The Boys Of Summer playing and then when I woke up I had some Lizzo song on repeat that I don’t even have downloaded.

I’m like beyond anxious right now despite taking a Valium before I went back to sleep. I need to take a shower since I haven’t taken one in a couple days and I wanted to do some shopping but I honestly don’t have the energy to even get out of bed.

Yeah the same thing happened as usual. I fell asleep and I woke up wide awake right before 3. It’s like losing weight. It just doesn’t work.

I did fall back asleep around 3:30. But it’s still pitch black outside and still half an hour before I can take a shower

My sleep is back to pure garbage

Sleepy cookies to all

Oh I’m sorry Christina. That so sucks.

Thanks ... How's you're sleep? any fantastical dreams????

I'm sorry Christina, that sucks

Yeah I had a fantastic dream last night. Took me forever to fall asleep but once I did I was in a huge place where I was an intern. Seemed to be a combination of art, cooking and equestrian skills we were learning. I recall working hard to make this huge cake with stained glass windows in it only to have other people get the awards. There was a lot of color and it looked very punk Victorian. Then I was running with a stout rolled in my dress looking for my horse in his stall, there was a huge huge tent under which stalls were built for everyone’s horse. That where we lived and where the bathrooms were. I had to go the bathroom so bad and was running back and forth looking for my horse and stall. The stout was rolling back and forth in my skirt. I woke up having to go the bathroom so bad. 😂 it was very cool though!

I slept well last night. Today I took my my lamictal and propalnaol around 1:30. I took my topamax and my 20mil Geodon at 3 something. I just now took my 160mil geodon and 20mil of melatonin. I was stressing about stuff in general today and I needed to relax early tonight. I still didn’t go over anything. Tonight would not be the night to do it since I have therapy in the morning. So it’s probably best to take stuff early anyways to get it out of my system before the session. Plus I do feel much calmer then I did 45 minutes ago. So I avoided an incident. My topamax seems to be working so I can just wait for the meds to kick in and not panic that they aren’t working faster. This sleep lotion doesn’t seem to work very well though.

I can't remember last night, nor my dreams. I only know that I must have slept for a while, & then woke up.
