I'm still waking up hungry some time between 11 and 1 but still managing to fall back asleep with the help of my AM geodon. I ate dinner tonight later then normal and I've taken my melatonins but not my Geodons. I'm waiting for those to kick in first then hopefully just pass out. Its a trick thats workee before and I'm not very anxious right now so I don't need the geodons at the moment.

FitBit says around 5 and a half hours.

I was tired, so slept deeply but had disturbing dreams about my mom.

Eh. It’s so so Sunday I go down another.5 mg. So not much but I haven’t gone a single night with no sleep so that’s good. But the sleep itself is a bad quality. I’ve not been having my vivid wild dreams and I miss them.

downandlonely · Apr 23, 2022 at 05:29 PM

I have very vivid dreams most night.

Nammu · Apr 23, 2022 at 05:30 PM

Oh, I’m jealous. I miss my dreams.

It took me awhile to fall asleep. Then I woke up at 12:30. I fell back asleep at 3:30 and slept pretty much until 6. Overall I slept fine.

I'm so sorry, Christina, about your pain.

My sleep is the same. So I'm really tired.

Slept decently last night, frequent awakening but easily back to sleep. Did have a short little half dream. Of being at school. And letting down tables to eat lunch at. One of us has moved up a class and the popular kids would accept her but she came back to eat with us.

That sounds like a nice dream. Thank you for sharing it, Nammu.

I once again fell asleep fast and woke up around 1. I wasn't too hungry but I did take my new pain med thing with a cosmic brownie. I also took the rest of my morning meds since I was a bit anxious. I didn't think I'd get back to sleep but around 3:30 I got under my 12 pound weighted blanket along with my 10 pound one and was out pretty fast until 4:51. So I got enough sleep.

Mountaindewed · Apr 26, 2022 at 01:30 AM

I was so hungry all day yesterday it was really affecting my moods. Around 3 I got Taco Bell. Then I fell asleep at about 4. I woke up at 7:30 and I've been up since dealing with this dumb insomnia, increased thirst, and a 5 pound weight gain. Theres a reason I don't eat from 3PM-6AM. I don't sleep good on a full stomach. I took one melatonin at 4. One at 10 and one just now. So far I've just been lying here listening to music and I have to leave at 9 for my trip. I know people function just fine on little to no sleep but I am not one of those people.

Breaking Dawn · Apr 27, 2022 at 12:10 AM

One of these days I will finally have a good night's sleep like I used to have.

Nammu · Apr 27, 2022 at 07:44 AM

I had a surprisingly deep sleep last night. Was on a beach in Hawaii in the 50’s. There were all these cabins on stilts. We were finishing Mai tias and our food in little boxes before going up to the cabins. There was a bunch of us, like in the army or something. Don’t know the beginning of the dream. It was just us on our bikes with food and drink in a basket on the bike, petaling along between jungle and ocean. Then came to the group of cabins. A happy little group chatting and eating. Then going off to bed!

Mountaindewed · Apr 27, 2022 at 12:45 PM

I slept pretty good last night. I fell asleep before 8 and I thought I'd wake up when my mom got back but I didn't. I did wake up once at 3 but I got back to sleep right away. I woke up at 5:15 and I was able to take a shower at 6 without waking up anyone.

MuddyBoots · Apr 27, 2022 at 01:51 PM

Been sleeping good lately. I had a dream I was working as a ride operator again and my higher-ups switched the entrance and exit on me without telling me and I was confused and kept yelling at people for entering through what I thought was the exit

Breaking Dawn · Apr 27, 2022 at 04:47 PM

I've been doing cat naps & having strange dreams. One was a nightmare & I screamed & woke myself up that way.

Nammu · Apr 27, 2022 at 04:54 PM

I’m so sorry Dawn. That sounds awful. Sending a soothing vibe and wishes that all your dreams be pleasant ones

Mountaindewed · Apr 28, 2022 at 09:36 AM

I fell asleep fairly quickly around 8 something. I woke up around 3 something to check the time. Then I woke up at about 5:15 and I thought I was going to be up but then I got back to sleep until 6:26. My mom was already up. My sleep during this trip has been unusually good. Hotels can be not so good especially when you are sharing a room with 2 other people one who snores very loudly.

~Christina · Apr 29, 2022 at 03:27 PM

Every night I go to bed and Gus is right there for his pre bed snooze. I was scrolling Tik Tok and I could get lost on there for hours honestly. But I finally put my phone down and fell asleep actually pretty quick.
