Slept about 15 hours this week, screw sleep I don't need it waste of time I say!!! Pnurse is okay with it, surprisingly this one isn't lame and pushing me to take my PRN

Mountaindewed · 06:37 AM

I took the melatonin and Benadryl. I for some reason didn’t want to sleep with my pants on. I fell asleep around 7 and I woke up about 15 minutes ago. Way too early. I had a dream where I had a giant brown bear as a pet named Bear. Then there was a fire and we were confused about where to go. So we went to the basement then came upstairs. The fire was out by then. But we couldn’t find Bear. So I went to the basement and I found him and he was safe he was just hiding.

But I feel kinda nauseated right now. It was a generic brand of Benadryl that I had never had before.

Edit: I fell back asleep for an hour but it was still early when I woke up. I fell asleep with the song The Boys Of Summer playing and then when I woke up I had some Lizzo song on repeat that I don’t even have downloaded.

I’m like beyond anxious right now despite taking a Valium before I went back to sleep. I need to take a shower since I haven’t taken one in a couple days and I wanted to do some shopping but I honestly don’t have the energy to even get out of bed.

Yeah the same thing happened as usual. I fell asleep and I woke up wide awake right before 3. It’s like losing weight. It just doesn’t work.

I did fall back asleep around 3:30. But it’s still pitch black outside and still half an hour before I can take a shower

Yeah I had a fantastic dream last night. Took me forever to fall asleep but once I did I was in a huge place where I was an intern. Seemed to be a combination of art, cooking and equestrian skills we were learning. I recall working hard to make this huge cake with stained glass windows in it only to have other people get the awards. There was a lot of color and it looked very punk Victorian. Then I was running with a stout rolled in my dress looking for my horse in his stall, there was a huge huge tent under which stalls were built for everyone’s horse. That where we lived and where the bathrooms were. I had to go the bathroom so bad and was running back and forth looking for my horse and stall. The stout was rolling back and forth in my skirt. I woke up having to go the bathroom so bad. 😂 it was very cool though!

I slept well last night. Today I took my my lamictal and propalnaol around 1:30. I took my topamax and my 20mil Geodon at 3 something. I just now took my 160mil geodon and 20mil of melatonin. I was stressing about stuff in general today and I needed to relax early tonight. I still didn’t go over anything. Tonight would not be the night to do it since I have therapy in the morning. So it’s probably best to take stuff early anyways to get it out of my system before the session. Plus I do feel much calmer then I did 45 minutes ago. So I avoided an incident. My topamax seems to be working so I can just wait for the meds to kick in and not panic that they aren’t working faster. This sleep lotion doesn’t seem to work very well though.

I can't remember last night, nor my dreams. I only know that I must have slept for a while, & then woke up.

Mountaindewed · Oct 27, 2021 at 11:17 AM

I tried to fall asleep at my usual 7PM time and I ended up taking like 40mil of melatonin and I tried music and white noise for over 3 hours and then I had to turn off the white noise machine to fall asleep. I fell asleep at 10 which is really late for me. I woke up at about 8 thanks to my black out curtains. I’m a bit tired and I don’t know if it’s from the melatonin or just from the off night in general. My mom says I should be sleeping that way. Go to bed at 10, wake up at 8.

Breaking Dawn · Oct 27, 2021 at 02:28 PM

I've been sleeping off & on lately, very unpredictably, & I wake up feeling strange, like a visitor in someone else's house.

Nammu · Oct 27, 2021 at 02:54 PM

I’ve lost the dreams I had last night. I woke up at 6am and got up took a shower, watched tv and read. Never spent any time reminiscing on the dreams so they’re lost now.

I fell asleep around 7 or something last night. I was up for awhile. I don’t remember what time or for how long though. I know I was hungry but it was controllable. I weighed myself at 2AM and I took a melatonin and my topamax and I fell back asleep. I woke up at 5:30 feeling decent. I took my meds today about the same time as yesterday. I just now took my melatonin. I took 1.5 mil tonight. I also took my 160 mil Geodon at the same time. I didn’t close my black out curtains yet. It’s still light out and I’m wondering if closing them before it’s dark has been part of my issue. I do also think my new med is causing some sleep problems. Once I can use my weighted blankets in 2 weeks I think my sleep will improve a lot.

That is such an odd feeling. It's happened to me before.
