I stayed up an hour past when I normally go to bed so I can, you know, wake up after dawn. So 10pm hits I'm in bed falling asleep and then I wake up an hour later and try to chemically make myself sleep but it doesn't work and here I am on one hour of sleep pretty certain I'm not getting anymore.

My sleep has been so screwy last few days.

Last night I did manage to get back to sleep at about 2am or so after being up for 4 hours. It took that 4 hours for the anxiety attack to kick out. I slept until like 7 or 8am.

The weather here was dark and dreary yesterday. I ended up taking 2 naps yesterday, about an hour or so long each. It's 2:20 a.m. now. I had fallen asleep about 9pm. I was in and out of sleep starting around 12-12:30am. I gave up at 1:30 and just got up Cool Insomnia Club #3 I'm drinking coffee. I may lay back down in a bit.

I fell asleep around 7 and I woke up at 2:30. Which I guess is enough sleep. It’s what I usually get I just have to figure out what to do now for 3 hours.

I feel like someone got me sick again. I’m coughing. I was in my room with my brother in law for over an hour last night so idk. But we are both vaccinated and don’t ever really go out so we shouldn’t have colds or anything.

Very little sleep. I was hoping to get a lot done today but I don't have the energy.

I woke up as usual at 2:30. But I fell asleep at 7 and I fell asleep fast. I woke up warm and I slept in my jeans and socks and a sweater and a heavy blanket. So maybe that was it. Also my stomach hurts a bit and I’m not sure why.

I'm not waking up too early; the sun is waking up too late!!!
But really I only got like an hour of rest last night/don't even want to call it sleep.

Got up early yesterday morning so last night went to be a bit early around 11pm read a bit and was out like a light. Woke at 8 so a little over 8 hours, yay 😀! Rather cool dream of being back in college, hanging out with this cool hippie guy and some friends. Had a three seater motorcycle./golf cart thing that was designed out of circular parts.

I fell asleep around 3 yesterday afternoon. I slept until about 3 this morning. I could use a protein bar, a bottle of Mountain Dew and 2 extra strength Tylenol right about now.

I ate at Atkins bar and then I turned on my music and fell asleep for another 40 minutes. I feel ok but I feel like this no soda thing isn’t working. My anxiety is still the worst even after 15 hours of sleep. And yeah it could be the massive decrease in caffeine.

I think I’ll get up and weigh myself and drink a Mountain Dew then take my visteril Valium and topamax and see if any of that does anything. But I must have gotten close to 13 hours of sleep from sleeping from 3PM-3AM and then off and on until 5.

But my new bed seems to have helped.

Went to bed around 9, woke up at 1am and just stayed in bed cuddling the beautiful boy in my avatar until an hour or so ago. Didn't get much sleep as usual but it was a good night.

I got maybe 3 or 4 hours of sleep. I feel a little bit of energy, enough to get some easy things done.

Ugh, very little sleep. Long involved dream about leaving someplace I’m supposed to be and going to an animal shelter where they needed all hands on deck. At first I was kept out as I tried to explain I had worked here before. Finally they gave me the clearance I needed for getting past the locked doors. At first I could only work with the ants and bees cleaning their nests. Then they trusted me enough to work with the cats and dogs. Oh they were so sick but we nursed them 24/7 until they were full of energy then we had to say goodbye as they got adopted.

Passed out at 8pm, was up between 10 and midnight, then woke up again at 2. 4 broken hours total and that was with the "help" of Zzquil and valium

I fell asleep at about 6:30. I woke up at 11:15 or so. I made a small cup of instant Kraft Mac and cheese at 11:50 because I just had a protein drink and a hard boiled egg for dinner and that was at like 3:30.
Possible trigger:
I fell asleep off and on but mostly on until 4. Which is pretty good for me. I had my music turned on and my phone was pretty charged so I was able to wear my headphones the entire time. I don’t feel too bad right now physically or mentally.

I had this dream where I was at Baskin Robins because I wanted a cappuccino blast. I think I’ve had that dream before. When I woke up it was midnight. I don’t feel like complete crap but I know I will if I stay up. Plus I’m hungry but my weight gets screwy when I eat something at this time.

I fell asleep for another few hours. I feel a lot better.

Haven't been sleeping lately. Part of the problem is the neighbors upstairs argue or move their furniture around at like 2am - it's so annoying

I fell into a twilight type sleep for about 15 minutes maybe. I woke up at 4. But it totally woke me up and I took my topamax with a big glass of water and I ate an English muffin and I drank a chocolate Dr. Pepper even though I’m trying not to drink soda and I honestly feel pretty good right now. My therapist says we need to talk about these trippy 15 minute naps I’ve been taking but I’m not sure why we have to talk about them.

Had to be up early for an eye appointment,…so of course I didn’t sleep. Great!

It's 3 a.m. as I type this. I went to bed at midnight and I guess I've been tossing and turning for 3 hours. I took some Benadryl in hope of it making me sleepy. I don't think it's kicked in yet.

Edit:. Now it's 5....

Edit 2: Now it's 6:00
