Sleeping better since I'm back on trazodone. I can actually dream now.

Last night, I had a frustrating dream that I was trying to be in an all girl band (kind of like the Spice Girls, just singing with no instruments). But they were trying to replace me with this blonde. I think eventually I just kicked all the other band members out, lol.

I thought I didn't need any extra sleep meds. And then I woke up at midnight and I've been up since.

I knew once I woke up sleeping would be useless so I had 2 zero sugar Mountain Dews and a Pop Tart then I brushed my teeth and half an hour later I had an orange vanilla Coke zero.

I'm sorry you have to give up the prednisone, Christina. I'm vizualizing that your lungs will be ok without it now & you'll be able to get some sleep.

A glorious dream. Was a small island and was three of us sharing the kingdom. One didn’t bother doing anything and the others just did some duties. So the kingdom shrunk into a giant bar and bowling ally. I had to show them how to be responsible and count up money and put it in the bank. Fired one guy( king) who wouldn’t be responsible. Ha ha was a funny dream.

I took the extra sleep meds. I fell asleep around 7 and I woke up at about 2:15. So I guess I'm back to that schedule.

I’m glad you had interesting dreams Dawn. That helps a lot.

Last night I only slept from midnight to 3am.

Last night of course my sleep was broken and I had the damn nightmares that have plagued me since I was 5-6 years old. At this point they are just always going to happen. I’d love to dig up my Uncle and kill him with my bare hands. Anyway ~

Sleepy tea for everyone

I had broken sleep but great dreams. Wish I could hook you, Christina up with my sandman cause his dreams are great 👍 last night I was helping get Hillary elected on a huge college campus and I had a womens group therapy to get to, but I was using my special power to travel and over shooting my destination and ending up, in frat parties, parades, market places and candle makers and florist I was getting more and more shopping 🛍 bags of cool stuff. I traveled by closing my eyes and wishing to be where I was going! Lol 😂 I guess I wasn’t really wanting therapy! Lol

I fell asleep around 7:15. I ate 3 small pieces of steak. I woke up right at one thinking I'd be up. So I weighed myself at 2 and then I drank a flat Pepsi blue which expired in July. But then I got tired and cold and I got under a 3rd blanket and I almost instantly fell back asleep from 2:30-4:23. The steak at 7:15 helped so I didn't wake up starving and umable to get to sleep.

Mostly, I'm sleeping an hour or two at various times, with plenty of dreams. I seem to be managing, but Im not getting much done.

I could easily fall asleep right now if I wasn't fighting it so much.

Ugh. Lately I've been having insomnia. Takes an hour or 2 to fall asleep, then I awaken before dawn and can't fall back to sleep. Now I'm going to feed the cats then take ZzzQuil - and hope I don't sleep until 2p.m. like I did last week when I took ZzzQuil in the morning

I fell asleep around 8. I woke up at 11. I couldn't tell if it was hunger or pain that woke me up. I ate a cheesecake crumble thing and then I got back to sleep from 1 something to 4:20. It was not the best night but I was satisfied with my sleep at least.

I’m dealing with tactile hallucinations. Freaking bugs. It’s from starting back on Geodon !! I hope it goes away soon I am really struggling to sleep and stay asleep.

Sad that we all struggle so hard to sleep

I fell asleep around 5. I woke up at 10:30. I last ate at 2PM. So I was pretty hungry. I put off eating right until midnight and then I had a candy bar and a little pouch of almond butter. I got back to sleep before 1 and I slept until 4:30 or so. Closer to 5.

I think I did sleep a little better this time, but had the blues for a while this morning.

I'm so sorry about that side effect, @~Christina. My fingers are crossed for you.
