I seriously think my bed is the issue. Things were going decently until I switched with my mom. Now every other night is screwed up for me no matter what I do or take.

Mountaindewed · Oct 09, 2021 at 05:08 AM

I fell asleep pretty quickly around 6 or 7. I had a giant fleece blanket and my fan was turned on. Then I woke up at 11:45. I ate a piece of bread and then I fell back asleep until 3. Which was ok for me since I wanted to listen to some podcasts anyways.

I feel ok today. Not as anxious as yesterday.

Slept pretty darn good 😊 went to bed around 11-11:30 and woke up at 7. Really tried to go back to sleep and catch my dream again but no luck. Was a very cool dream with great music from the early 70’s.

Oh my goodness, @Nammu! Your dream! Too bad you couldn't get back into it. Oh yes, the music of that time was wonderful, & such a great mixture of genres.

Thank you!

I hope the **** load of meds I took and the sleep lotion I used knocks me out. It probably will. Until 3 again.

Nammu !!! Love your dreams always

Dawn I hope your finding some good sleep !!!

Last night was a night I was really getting worried about as I tossed and turned far too much for my liking. I hope this combo isn't wearing off I have really needed this sleeping everyday.

It's 1:30 a.m. and I'm still awake. A few days ago I slept for 20 hours straight! What is wrong with me?

Mountaindewed · Oct 11, 2021 at 08:24 AM

I fell asleep around 7:30. I woke up right before 1 and I took another Benadryl and I ate a piece of bread and drank a small bottle of cranberry juice. Then I went back to bed until about 7. I slept well.

Nammu · Oct 11, 2021 at 10:39 AM

I slept really well. It was cold last night and I covered up with the thick blanket. Oh it was heaven.

Breaking Dawn · Oct 11, 2021 at 10:59 AM

I don't know how long I slept, but not enough. I'm barely awake today.

I struggled a bit to sleep last night but got enough to where I feel okay.

That's a lot of sleep. Seems like me a little. I don't sleep and then I sleep a lot. What the heck is going on?

Anxiety is keeping me up tonight. I wish my body would relax so I could sleep.

Went to bed at 9pm, woke up at 11pm. Just been chilling listening to Quebecois radio since.

Breaking Dawn · Oct 12, 2021 at 05:36 AM

Really tired but glad to be here.

Mountaindewed · Oct 12, 2021 at 06:33 AM

I went to bed around 7. I fell asleep pretty fast. I woke up a couple of times. Once when the song One Song Glory from Rent was playing. The second time when a Clay Aiken song was playing. Then I turned off my music. I woke up right before one and I drank a cranberry juice. Then I fell back asleep until an hour ago.

I kept smelling something awful and I thought it was me. But I think it’s what my mom was cooking for dinner.

I’ve found the liquid Benadryl capsules to be very helpful lately.

Mountaindewed · Oct 13, 2021 at 09:06 AM

That Benadryl/melatonin/sleep lotion combo is working great. I’ve been sleeping pretty well lately. Today I didn’t wake up until 6:50. Which is pretty late for me. I fell asleep right around 8.
