Cool Insomnia Club #3

I didn't sleep well last night and that should be a good thing considering I'm supposed to work overnight this week, but I feel agitated and angry.

I’m so sorry. Have you worked overnight shifts before.

Generally it’s hard for people with Bipolar to work those hours but I worked 6pm to 6am and honestly it was better for me than day shift. I just generally feel better at night.

I fell asleep at 7 and I had bad anxiety that woke me up at both 8 something and 10 something. Finally around 1 I said F it and I took my morning meds including a geodon and got back to sleep and slept in very late until 6:30. And I feel fine now.

I fell asleep at 7 with white noise. I woke up at 1. I turned on my music and I've been up since. My house is freezing I assume because of the furnace situation. I have my 3 blankets and my weighted blanket plus a hoodie on and my fingers are frozen. I'm dreading getting into the shower. I may just try to get dressed in the shower. At least put my shirt and hoodie on and see if that will work. I'm nervous about my doctors appointment today but thats to be expected and probably why I didn't sleep the greatest.

I am up and sitting on the recliner in the family room and I think our heat officially crapped out on us but at least it was in 40 degree weather and not in -10 degree weather.

I fell asleep at 9 but I kept waking up until 4 when I decided to get my arse into gear

Still doing naps for sleeping, but always with dreams, & I wake up being slow to realize they were just dreams, & it feels so strange & sometimes disappointing that those experiences didn't really happen.

Even with being up since 1 it was still almost 8 before I fell asleep. I think I need to give my mom my melatonin like I did with my other meds because I've been taking 40mil a night now and that can't be good. Anyways once I fell asleep I pretty much stayed asleep until 4. I am a bit worn out today but not because I didn't sleep good.

I fell asleep kind of fast at 7. I woke up at 10 but was up for less then an hour. I woke up at 2 but again was up for less then an hour. I woke up for a bit awhile ago and dozed off some more. My headphones are really starting to go out and at some points I can't hear the music at all and thats when I fall asleep. I got a lot of sleep though.

Rough night. Last night I tried to talk to Papa bear when he was watching TV, mistake. It's not his fault (I think he may have high functioning ASD and when he is tired he has issues communicating) It made me quite depressed though as I hardly said anything. I was already ''coping'' with severe depression and anxiety....Again, not his fault. I resisted taking more benzos for sleep. The prescribed dose is too low. I got a few hours of sleep...

Struggling to sleep with bad toothache. Ugh damn ugh.

Sleepy hugs friends

When is your dentist appointment? Soon I hope 🤞 trying to sleep with pain is horrible.

I slept ok. There was a lot of waking up and falling quickly back asleep but I got enough sleep.

Tomorrow!!! Im not sure it will be all fixed tomorrow but I’m thinking it could be an infection so antibiotics might help. I hate anything and all things dental.

Did you get sleep last night ??

Less than 4 hours last night.

Toothache = literally no sleep

Hope everyone sleeps well tonight !

I hate anything dental too. Ugh. Yeah, I was thinking it maybe sounds like an infection too (I had one a couple of years ago)

Good luck tomorrow!

Oh yeah, I hate all things dental too. Have you thought of just getting it pulled instead of a root canal?

Not enough sleep.... in fact maybe none tonight.

I wasn't feeling 100% physically well yesterday. I wasn't totally sure why. I fell asleep right around 5PM and literally slept until 5:15 this morning. I woke up once at 8 but just long enough to check the time and then one other time to check the time but then I fell right back asleep. I don't think I've slept like that since I had an abscessed infection that caused me to go to the ER for an emergency procedure back in summer 2020. I mean I feel ok. Still not 100% but I'm fine.

Reduced the ambian this week but not going to start the increases latuda until the next decrease. And I’m hoping not to need the prn yet. Just went down by 5mg. Lower is harder, so I’ll wait.

Fell asleep fairly quickly but woke up after two hours and didn’t get any more sleep. But weird dream for that bit of sleep. I became Amish and was wearing a bonnet and this used car salesman type was trying to sell me an RV. At a Amish festival.

I'm sorry about your tooth, Christina. I hope the pain is gone now.

Lol I love your dreams. We have huge Amish community here. They grow the best fruit and veggies! I buy goats milk soap from them also.

I hope the latuda increase helps you to be able to decrease the Ambein.

*** fingers crossed *****

Give Sir a long stroke from Gus and I

Sweet dreams

I fell asleep around 7 and I woke up at about 12:30. I stayed up until 3:15 and then I got back to sleep until 4:30. I feel rested.

No sleep tonight. Got up at 5 something to schedule aqua fitness and then after 20 minutes of trying gave up for the night. Gotta get my swim suit up and pack the bag for aqua fitness today. They ask that you be there at 8:50. But by then the lot is parked full. They have classes starting at 6am to 10am so the lot is hard to park in. I’m going in at 8:30 this morning to see if I have better luck.
