Cool Insomnia Club #3

I struggled with falling asleep. I had anxiety and physical stuff going on. After going almost 24 hours of no sleep I fell asleep around 9. I woke up a few times but I got up for good at 6:30. I felt gross physically and mentally. A hot shower didnt do much to make me feel better. I can't tell whats up. It could be a geodon issue though. The bottle says I can get it refilled on the 5th but I could probably get it filled on the 3rd possibly. I dont know what would happen if I tried calling it in now. What kind of trouble I could possibly get into.

Nightmares every night past few weeks, added to that this morning I woke up with a muscle spasm. NP says its trauma related because I thought about "it" for 10 minutes in therapy. Starting prazosin tonight so hopefully that helps.

Was awake on and off all night and then woke much too early. Dreams of alien 👽 abducted. And being posed for pictures. Something to do with standing in a pool and being forced to work. There was a small group us that bonded together to over throw the aliens and free everyone. Sort of like a cool movie!

It took until 9 for me to fall asleep and then I woke up at 1:30. I was low on the caffeine. I took my normal meds. I think its just being out of that one since the 24th. I think it helped with my sleep a Iot because I don't know how many bad nights I've had recently since I ran out.

Still not sleeping. Last night I tried meditating and building an dog crate. Just a simple square frame with black wire. It took concentration to weld it together. But then my mind took over the project when I had the sides and bottom assembled and I was using a hot glue gun. Never the less it worked, I do feel less ragey today despite the lack of sleep and the buzzing white noise in my head.

Still mostly naps here & there. Like most of you, I yearn for a good night's sleep & to wake up feeling refreshed, & to feel energy!! I dream.

Sleep but very broken and I’m just miserable from this URI.

Sleepy germ free hugs

I slept soundly from 6-3:30 and then off and on until 7. Yeah being without that geodon sure was an issue.

I woke up around 1:15 because I was hungry. I ate some pretzel Goldfish so I feel ok right now but still not very tired.

I feel ok physically unlike yesterday evening so I think I just get really stressed out at night.

I think I slept 2 or 3 hours this morning, which helped me feel better than recently.

I fell asleep around 7. My mom woke me up at 11:50 and asked if I wanted to get up. I said no. I made sure the Adele I was listening to was coming from my headphones because I thought it was just coming from my phone. But I did have my headphones on. I then fell right back to sleep. I thought I'd be up twice. Once at 3 something and once at 5 something. But I got up at 7. I've had 3 sodas and I am just exhausted for some reason despite sleeping good.

Such cool dreams the first sleep of 2022!

First dream I was a wine server for my daughter’s huge palace on the riverbank in France. At first the people were snotty but I kicked them out and better people came. The wine bottles were in all kinds of shapes. Then I was in a witness protection program and that transitioned to me being the protector of kids at various places but mainly schools where we had invisible gun lockers and secret tunnels. That turned into the biggest sci fi store where you could get anything related to any sci fi movie, tv show or comic. I met an old deaf friend there with her hearing husband. They were dressed as their favorite show. So utterly cool.

I'm still having vivid dreams but I wouldn't really consider them nightmares anymore so the prazosin is working luckily. Last night I made myself a "special cocktail" and slept really well but didn't sleep in too late, got maybe 11 hours of sleep.

Haven't gotten enough sleep for 2 nights and I'm feeling it. I'm hoping for a nap this afternoon, but it's not likely.

Oh I’m sorry Beth. Not sleeping is the pits.

I woke up at 11 and had some bad stomach issues 3 times in 10 minutes. I told my mom and asked what to do and she wasn't very responsive for some reason. I had stomach issues about 2 more times before midnight. I was up until about 4:15-4:30 maybe. I slept until 5:53 which is much later then I expected. I slept through 12 songs which means I was asleep for about 1.5 hours. I think I had stomach problems a total of 8 times. Everything I ate and drank just went right through me.I wonder if I should maybe be concerned about dehydration.

My "crankypation" and anxiety went away though.

I got very little sleep & am feeling drained.

I didn't sleep well last night. I cried myself to sleep and then kept waking up feeling like the sun--not in a "life-providing, beautiful, bright, and powerful" sorta way, in a "millions of nukes going off at once constantly for a very long time" kinda way. I will say since I started the prazosin my nightmares are a lot better.

Kept waking up but had cool dreams when I did sleep. Hard to describe but was a combination of a game and a kingdom. There were secret passageways and relatives hidden away so they wouldn’t inherit the kingdom. A revolution where the ruling class was rejected and the hidden females came out to claim the Queen ship. So cool, there was a game piece that entitles the bearer to walk the passage.

My sleep is garbage.

I’m taking half a Ambien as I need to see my therapist tomorrow and want to be coherent.

Hope everyone gets some tonight

I've got my fingers crossed for you, Christina!

Crazy after longing to get home and finally being here and being wide awake. I am not complaining though. I feel good

I didn't do any better sleepwise, but I feel better.

Last night was a hard night. At one point my throat was too dry so I got up for a piece of hard candy to soothe it with. Disturbing dreams.

Thanks everyone!

My lungs are a bit better I know due to the prednisone but it’s really effecting my ability to sleep and my stability so I’m going to stop it and hope my lungs are at least a little better.

It’s cold and I’m staying in bed more just because it’s at least warm but my body just isn’t happy as my pain level is really elevated. It’s always something ugh !
