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.

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

I just had the wildest afternoon nap. I slept for about 1.5 hours very deeply. But I was not confused when I woke up. I did not take anything before I took the nap it was just exhaustion from being up since 11:30 last night because I only had crappy sleep meds to deal with and only one of them was actually meant for sleep.

I fell back asleep shortly after I woke up from the nap at about 5:30 after getting frustrated over some news I got. I took the correct meds though. But with the long nap I ended up waking up right before 10PM. Which was technically plently of sleep. I got about half an hour of sleep around 3:30 but I basically ****ed up my sleep schedule.

I meant to say wildest afternoon dream. Not nap.

Last night was a ton better. I still woke up a couple times. Once at 8:46 and once at 11:30. I was also up for a couple hours around 2:30 but I fell back asleep at 4 something and I ended up waking up for good at 5:51. I feel pretty rested and I am not crabby today.

I think I got a little more sleep last night & this morning, & more dreams. No nightmares this time, that I can recall.

I’ve been going down on the ambien and not really recalling my dreams. I sure hope quitting the sleep med doesn’t mean the end of my movie nights. I slept pretty good but woke way too early. So early that even Sir wasn’t getting up to join me!

I fell asleep early at like 5PM. I woke up at about 9:15 with really bad heartburn and increased thirst and all the other stuff I get when I eat pizza and M&Ms for dinner. I took a pepcid and then some pepto bismol. I got back to sleep before 1 and I woke up around 5. So I got a lot of sleep overall.

That is odd. Hope it stops and you can sleep tonight.

I’ve been waking up way too early. Still no memory of my quirky fun dreams.
