I tried to fall asleep at my usual 7PM time and I ended up taking like 40mil of melatonin and I tried music and white noise for over 3 hours and then I had to turn off the white noise machine to fall asleep. I fell asleep at 10 which is really late for me. I woke up at about 8 thanks to my black out curtains. I’m a bit tired and I don’t know if it’s from the melatonin or just from the off night in general. My mom says I should be sleeping that way. Go to bed at 10, wake up at 8.

I've been sleeping off & on lately, very unpredictably, & I wake up feeling strange, like a visitor in someone else's house.

I’ve lost the dreams I had last night. I woke up at 6am and got up took a shower, watched tv and read. Never spent any time reminiscing on the dreams so they’re lost now.

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!

Oh what a great dream

not the " oh hell I gotta go to the bathroom "

I fell asleep around 7 or something last night. I was up for awhile. I don’t remember what time or for how long though. I know I was hungry but it was controllable. I weighed myself at 2AM and I took a melatonin and my topamax and I fell back asleep. I woke up at 5:30 feeling decent. I took my meds today about the same time as yesterday. I just now took my melatonin. I took 1.5 mil tonight. I also took my 160 mil Geodon at the same time. I didn’t close my black out curtains yet. It’s still light out and I’m wondering if closing them before it’s dark has been part of my issue. I do also think my new med is causing some sleep problems. Once I can use my weighted blankets in 2 weeks I think my sleep will improve a lot.

That is such an odd feeling. It's happened to me before.

I tried my hardest to avoid waking up early.but of course I woke up at 12:30.

MuddyBoots · Oct 29, 2021, 01:43 AM

Went to bed around 9, woke up at 11 for a bit then got another two hours and here I am,
sending relaxing sleepy vibes to everyone

Only slept around 5-6 hours but cool dreams about Rochester. Was about 25 again and with two friends. In downtown where there were skyscrapers everywhere. We needed a hotel and I knew an owner and his hotel was spread out over a block. Went in and started talking when this entitled man pushed up to the counter, he ended up getting escorted off. The owner was parked but said he had room for the three of us. Took us up personally but none of the rooms had walls. We could see other people and families bedding down for the night. One of my friends turned into a 2 year old when she climbed into bed! In the morning we went back downtown and continued our business of buying buildings.

What great fun !

I think I slept better, because I felt more rested this morning & I was able to enjoy some tv & fix a good meal for myself.

Mountaindewed · Oct 29, 2021, 04:49 PM

I fell asleep after 15 minutes after posting that post. I slept until about 6. As frustrating as cutting back on caffeine is it may help me out in more ways then I’ll realize. Today I had a grande coffee but that was the only caffeine I had all day. Usually I have at least 3 caffeineated sodas sometimes up to 5 and a coffee or 2 mugs of black tea.

MuddyBoots · Oct 30, 2021, 03:23 AM

Fell asleep around 10pm, woke up from nightmares at about 2. Would make a good thriller/action movie though.

Mountaindewed · Oct 30, 2021, 07:53 AM

I fell asleep around 7. I woke up at 2:30. I didn’t really want to go back to sleep but I tried for a few minutes. Then I had a couple mugs of black tea and I just stayed up. I got through most my favorite song playlist on my music before having to plug my phone in. I didn’t feel frustrated that I woke up or hungry. Basically I was just like “ok”

Breaking Dawn · Oct 30, 2021, 08:10 AM

I woke up way too early & so I'm missing the energy I need to get things done. I'll keep trying.

Nammu · Oct 30, 2021, 10:55 AM

I slept off and on. Kept waking though the night but fell back into the same dream. My daughter and sil had 6-8 kids with a couple pairs of twins. And they had a huge house yet it wasn’t quite big enough for them. There was a big red fire truck in the garage they liked to play on.

MuddyBoots · Oct 31, 2021, 05:29 AM

It's funny how one can feel so fatigued but not be able to sleep.

I hope everyone that has nighttime right now is resting peacefully

Mountaindewed · Oct 31, 2021, 07:45 AM

I slept good last night. I slept in jeans and no matter how many times my mom will deny it or will say it doesn’t make sense I won’t listen because I know I sleep much better in jeans then I do in sweatpants. I also used my 8 pound weighted blanket for the 1st time in 30 nights. I slept through the night. I had a few weird dreams but I was able to wake myself up right before they turned scary. Then I was able to fall right back asleep again. But I fell asleep around 7 and I woke up around 5-5:15. I got up to take a shower right around 6.

I hear you the being so tired it actually hurts yet unable to sleep is just all kinds of wrong.. Hope you get some quality sleep tonight

Nammu · Oct 31, 2021, 12:02 PM

I only remember bits and pieces of my dream. Was with a huge group of people and we were working very loosely together to finish two projects. But my physical project came apart and I had to leave the loose group in one building and go to another to fix it leaving my group down one man. As a group we were to write down musical notes and rework them into a Poem. I was frustrated cause the note book I had had every page printed in blue halfway down so I only had half a page and I couldn’t remember the base notes and my iPad was out of juice! But before I woke up everything worked out. I’d finished my project and someone plugged in my iPad for me and I barely finished the paper with my group.

Fell asleep ok at 8:30pm, but woke up at 12:30am and have been up the rest of the night.

The familiar, not knowing how long I slept, then waking up from dreaming something & feeling so tired.
