Down to 15 mg. Doing pretty good. Haven’t had any nights of zero sleep. Unfortunately my fantastical dreams haven’t been happening. I recal a bit or ppeice of a dream but they’re pretty tame and boring. Do miss my dreams

I fell asleep at 6:30. Then I was up from 9:40 until 1 something. Then I slept until almost 8.

Maybe I had an hour of sleep. My eyes keep wanting to close. I hope I can fall asleep this morning.

Oh, I hope you can get some more sleep 😴 Dawn

I seemed to sleep pretty well despite walking often. I know when I was woken by my alarm I was having a dream, was in a house with very many kids who were dragging out every toy. I wanted to put them away, they were everywhere. But the mum said no. The kids would pick them up, or they would lose every single one not picked up!

It was around 7 when I fell asleep. I woke up sometime at like 11 or 12 or something to eat a cosmic brownie and a lunchable. Then I took my AM meds and got back to sleep from about 1 something until almost 7. So I slept enough.

I don't remember much about last night. I think I was up for a a bit around 1 but I'm not sure how long I was up. I know I woke at 6 or so to take a shower. Honestly last night is just a blur.

Oh Dawn I hope you got some sleep !

Nammu love it !

I sleep but of course broken. I struggled to physically get out of bed but lots of gentle stretching finally helped me move a bit better.

Starting prednisone today to see if it helps me PsA pain. *** Fingers crossed ***

Hugs and cookies!

I fell asleep around 7 I think. I slept ok but I woke up at 2 something. It wasn't a big deal, it was plenty of sleep. I just did the normal listen to music and my podcast and the time went by fast. My medical issue was bothering me but the podcast distracted me.

I have been listening to Andrew Huberman, this Sandford PhD. He said when he wakes up early and feels like he didn't get enough sleep he listens to a yoga nidra script. He said that a 20 minute one is equal to another hour and a half of sleep as far as rest for the body goes. He said that he doesn't like regular meditation because his mind wanders too much but this is a body scan where you listen to a person. This is the one that I like to listen to:

I woke up half an hour ago with what I thought was just the stuff that had been going on. But my throat hurts in a different type of way then it did before. Idk. I took a pepcid and I have one at home covid test in case it escalates. My mom ordered 8 more free at home tests. I'm hoping to get back to sleep even for a few minutes.

A little bit better sleep, & lots of dreams. And the body forces me to fall asleep periodically, for a few moments during the day, & I always dream.

I fell asleep around 7 and then I woke up right before 10PM. I stayed up for just about an hour and then I slept straight until 5. It was a bit unusual for me to sleep so much like that especially since I had taken a couple hours nap during the day yesterday afternoon. So idk.

Had a great dream last night. Was a hospital dream, but a great progressive hospital. The doctor was kind and the staff was exceptional. Oddly what I remember most was the furniture. Was modern but comfortable.

It was just a typical night for me. I slept from about 7PM until 10:30. Then I was up from 10:30 until 1AM. Then I got back to sleep until 4 something. Advil is amazing.

Had an amazing dream. Relatives from both sides came to my house for a huge get together. Which took place in a huge, ginormous basement. There were toys everywhere for the kids and they were mixing up the parts and I was trying to separate the parts into their correct parts but the kids didn’t care.. the parents were like oh just let them each take what they like. The toys were gifts that they had gotten and they were all sharing very nicely. The toys were really fantastic and complex. I saw relatives in my dreams that have been dead for years. Really nice dream.

My throat woke me up around midnight. It didn't hurt like this yesterday. I just have my music on now. I might go get a coke.

That is a nice dream, Nammu. I used to dream that my aunt was visiting me. I loved those dreams, but I haven't had one in a very long time. I guess she's moved on.

I
Possible trigger:
but I was ok. I just slept normally. I woke up at midnight with my facial hair covered in drool and I was hungry so I ate a Lunchable since I had eaten dinner at 2PM and then that got me until 3 or 4AM. I don't remember. My swallowing issue was bothering me a bit but I knew I'd be up anyways. I don't feel tired or much of anything besides some slight anxiety which is unrelated to sleep.

It's almost midnight. I took Tylenol PM because I have had a headache for days. But I can tell I'm not going to fall asleep for at least 90 minutes. So I'm thinking of taking 12.5 of Seroquel. I really want this day to end. I feel like getting in my car and just driving to wherever, listening to the radio. But no $ for gas. I guess I'll just lie down anyway. Window open, fan blowing on me. Cats.

I took my normal meds and normal melatonin. I fell asleep without music from 7-2. I then listened to music the rest of the night. I got about 20 minutes of sleep around 7:40 until my mom woke me up at 8.

Ugh, haven’t slept well for 3-4 nights. Really draggy. Did have a nice but confusing dream during the couple hours I slept. My grandfather was alive and was going into a care home so all the relatives gathered and arranged for a huge chorus in red silk robes to see him welcomed to his new place. I went off with three aunties to a church where they were sure someone was bad talking their brother. My hearing aid died and I couldn’t hear. One aunt had a toy that captioned speakers words. And we were going up and down ladders and sneaking though back halls. When I think about it , it really was funny. Nice to see my grandfather again.
