I fell asleep at 5 and I’m wondering why I woke up at 1. I had an Atkins shake for dinner around 3PM but I haven’t eaten since if I do eat or drink something my weight will go up a couple pounds and I’m like .4 away from my short term goal weight. But hanging on and and not sleeping for 6 more hours will be tough.

Ugh 😩 rough night. Toss and turned all night. Maybe 2 hours, have a headache from the lack of sleep.

The night was awful. I got no sleep after 1 and my weight went up a pound. I feel like crap physically and mentally right now. Maybe I really do just need to give the melatonin and Benadryl a break since it isn’t working anyways.

I don’t know. I just can’t get this fixed. I tried so hard to stay up but I fell asleep at 5. I didn’t eat dinner. I didn’t take any sleep meds. I just fell asleep very fast and woke up at midnight. I was hoping the lack of all those meds would make me feel physically better and it’s hard to tell if they did or not.

Look! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's.... aw it's just another nightmare waking me up at 2am about my last psychotic episode and the things I thought were happening that didn't actually happen... oh well.

I’m listening to the song Come To My Window and I like the part that goes “keeping my eyes open I cannot afford to sleep, giving away promises I know that I can’t keep.” It reminds me of myself and my life.
I guess I feel physically better and probably mental health wise without all those sleep meds in my system but I’m still not sleeping. Maybe my mom will switch beds with me again. My sleep issues seemed to get bad once I got her memory foam mattress a few months ago. I think I’ll drink a protein shake. If I can’t sleep in an hour I’ll turn on the TV. Yesterday afternoon I had a couple cans of Thums Up cola which is like the India version of Coke but that’s the only caffeine I had all day. I got rid of most my soda but I left a few cans of unique hard to find stuff. I just had a cake batter Premier Protein shake and I feel better since I went to bed without dinner but I’m still not sure I can go back to sleep. I’ve been trying though. __________________ Ridin' with Biden Last edited by Mountaindewed; Nov 11, 2021 at 04:02 AM.. |

My mom agreed to switch beds with me but more reluctantly then I thought she would. But I have another 2 weeks where I can’t lift anything so I can’t move it today like I had wanted to. So I don’t know what to do. If that means another 2 more weeks of crappy sleep or if I can somehow get used to the bed and without the sleep meds.

Finally fell asleep 130ish last night and then wide awake by 4 something. Oh well up for the day and kept myself busy. I have a huge pot of chili at least.

I just finished off our pot of chili. Last night. This weekend I’m making cottage pie. But I think next week I’ll make a big pot of broccoli soup. Soup is the perfect meal for a cosy night, seems to help me sleep too.

Jeeze these nights just keep getting worse and worse. Monday night was 1:30. Last night was midnight. Tonight was 11. I thought going to bed at 6:30 after being up since midnight was ok. But I guess not. I hope I can get back to sleep. I did take a 10 mil melatonin before I went to bed and then I took another one just now. I mean they sell them in 20mil bottles.

I'm so desperate for sleep.

I decided to try to take my meds as prescribed for once so I took my 80 mil Geodon and my topamax like I’m supposed to in the morning. It knocked me out from close to 1 until 5:15 or so. I feel rested and not as anxious but I’m kinda hungry because of the Geodon. The whole reason I avoid taking Geodon in the AM in the first place was to avoid my hunger. But anyways I don’t feel too terrible right now.

I don’t feel high but often when I’m up at night I feel really good and I’m in a good manic like kinda mood or something. But then when I get up in the morning my moods just crash.

Fell asleep for like 1.5 hours and woke up and now can't go back to sleep. Anxious.

I was getting those funny physical feelings again my doctor says are symptoms of my high testosterone and other high blood levels. I was feeling funny. My mom suggested I eat a bag of chips to help with the nausea and I did and for some reason it worked and I slept straight from 7:30 until 5:30 without any sleep meds. All thanks to a bag of chips. Plus I was using a cooler blanket too then I had been using.

Not enough sleep, so feeling sleepy & tired, but I seem to be functioning better than yesterday.

Pretty good sleep, woke a bit too early for my liking but not bad 6.5 hours. Was rolling around trying to get back to sleep when my cat came in requesting food! So I got up. Weird dream that took place in a giant mall. People falling sick with a virus. I got it but not bad.
