I think I slept longer, but in sections, waking & returning to sleep.

Had a cool dream though I’ve forgotten most of the beginning. Was in a huge mall( mall of America sized) and there was a whole wall of chocolate bars to choose from. I was having a hard time choosing which salted chocolate bar and which orange chocolate bar I wanted. There were big bars, smaller thicker bars, and soooooo many choices. Added on to the mall was a small mom and pop gas station that was like those from the 50’s and 60’s. Old fashioned pumps and wooden counter. They had added a couple crooked rooms on for sleeping rooms. They rooms were very basic with a iron bed and sink. The bathroom was shared. I went to pay for the room and gas but didn’t have enough cash though I had checked all my pockets. So I used a credit card and also bought a stamp, but the stamp really was for a meal. I was walking back to my room when they called me back and gave me a steak sandwich like you used to get from mom and pop restaurants in the 60’s. Guess I’m missing the 60’s?

I am awake & should be asleep. I know I was asleep before now, because I remember having dreams.

Same **** different night. I fell asleep before 5. I woke up around 10. I got 40 minutes of sleep at 3:30. Same as normal. I'm trying to decide if I want to take a shower now or later. I have a doctors appointment this afternoon I don't want to be all sweaty for but I'm really bored.

Got 0 sleep. The first time that’s happened since the taper started. I’m only at the halfway mark. I was hoping to make it farther down before this happened. Next week I start the 7.5 mg.

Been working on about 4 hours sleep for the past three nights. Somethings gotta give.

I stayed up until 7. I thought that was ok after being up since 10 the night before. But I woke up as usual at 11. I stayed up until 4 and got an hour or so of restless sleep. I don't have a clue as to how to fix this. I've been getting about 4-6 hours a night for awhile now.

Did get on and off sleep throughout the night. Dreamed of murder and suicide. But it was very unreal. People were lining up to use straws to ski off balconies. And something about 5 rings. I was in and out of sleep and going back to the rings. Woke up discombobulated, hot and tired.

Same as the other night. Stayed up 2 hours later. Still woke up at 11. I felt really sick , I think its heat related. I felt really sick so I took a zofran and a valium and I got about 40 minutes of sleep around 2:15 but its going to be yet another one of those 5 hour nights and I feel like I am heading into heart attack terrority and I don't know what to do. Last night I ate a legit dinner too.

My sleep rhythm is all kinds of jacked up! A couple of hours here, an hour or two there. I've been asleep at noon and up at 3am and vice versa. That said, I got in an uncomfortable six hours and woke up at 6am precisely. Soreness aside, I'm actually somewhat present, which never happens at this hour! Hopefully, it will be a good (and productive) day! Already off to a good start!

I fell asleep at 5:30 and then woke up at 6:50 thinking it was the AM. I got back to sleep around 8. Then I woke up at 11 and stayed up until cIose to 3 and slept until 5. At least I'm sleeping more then 5 minutes when I wake up at 11.

My sleep schedule is still... Who am I kidding? I don't have a sleep schedule right now! Like I said in an earlier post, asleep at noon, up at 3am and vice versa. I've got nowhere to be right now, so why bother? Can still get stuff done, but I might be doing it at odd hours. Getting a sleep schedule back is going to be... well... a future project. Pending some employment.

I got more sleep since my zero night, but last night was rather bad. I did start taking the increased dose of latuda that did seem to help. Last night was bad because it was so hot. I might email and ask if I can stay at 10 mg for an extra two weeks. But I’m thankfully have ing no physical symptoms of withdrawals.

I fell asleep around 6. I got up at 8 to eat the takeout we got. My nauesea had subsided so I thought it was ok. I woke up at 1:50 with so much nausea and stomach pain. I tried a zofran and a soda for the carbonation. I tried fennel since that normally does the trick and nothing is helping its not even worth trying to go back to sleep, I'll get up in an hour.

Not long, but consistent. Got about 5 hours. Woke up at 6am exactly again. Don't really have anywhere to be but, well, I'm up.

Did not sleep a wink. My own doing, pain notwithstanding. I'm gonna try and sleep through the early morning to reclaim some sleep.

I decided to put my phone on the living room table for the night to see if that would help my sleep. And it did. I slept almost nonstop from 5:30 last night until 5:15 this morning. I just woke up for a bit at 11 to eat a bowl of Lucky Charms. But I feel a ton better this morning then I've been feeling this last week.

I got 4 or so hours. Maybe a bit less. Then another half hour at 2:30. But I feel like I'm going to ****ing die from this anxiety and I know I probably just need to eat since I have no idea what happened last night. Like no one really explained anything to me and dinner wasn't ready at 5, so I just went to bed and no one woke me up or anything. But my mom is sleeping in the family room and would wake up if I tried heating up a burrito. But I think I have hunger pains maybe instead of bad anxiety.

Did my last night of 10mg. Starting tonight it’s 7.5 last night it was hot so that impacted my sleep. But I got about 5-6 hours. Pretty sure I dreamed but I don’t remember it. Was up at 6 did the dishes before the day heated up, went to aqua fitness, then fitness. Now I’m ready for bed! But it’s hours away. Tomorrow I see the pdoc and ask him for liquid ambien to better take these low doses. And for the 100 mg latuda instead of taking two separate pills.

Been averaging around 5-6 hours a night. Last night was just a little shifted. Fell asleep around 9, woke up just after 3am. Woke up quite rested, so that's a plus.
