I think I'm getting more sleep. I've had some really weird dreams, including nightmares.

I keep waking up at 2 no matter what time I go to sleep and remain awake. Today I’ve really started dragging. I took an OTC sleep aid and I’m about to go to bed and sleep as long as I can. Hopefully a good 8-9 hours. Sweet dreams.

Nope, no cigar. It’s like my body said “you think 2 am is bad? How about we don’t sleep period?” Zero sleep. I’m a bit frustrated. Will try again tonight as I’m up for the day. Maybe with all this sunlight, I’m over medicated. Thank you for the well wishes. It will be wonderful when I’m sleeping again.

I fell asleep before 8 with my new melatonin. I woke up at 11 really needing to use the bathroom despite using it twice before bed and not drinking anything. More evidence I think I effed up my kidneys some more. Anyways I got back to sleep right away and I woke up for good right before 4. I slept with my music on all night so I did wake up a couple times but I fell back asleep. Overall it was a better night then it normally is.

Broken sleep, but so grateful to sleep any amount. Dreaming symbolic type dreams. I'm wishing I could be asleep right now.

Last night wasn’t great, took the 2.5 that’s been working sort of but was tossing and turning so took another 2.5 and then slept for 4 hours. Ehh I’ll take it.

I fell asleep before 6. I woke up at 11 and then stayed up until 2 something. I ate some mac and cheese before going back to sleep so I was able to sleep in until almost 6 since I wasn't sleeping on an empty stomach.
Oh yeah I had some dream where I was at some store I don't remember if it was a thrift store or like a Sams Club maybe. But they had a section for used DVDs and I found a Brady Bunch movie. It was a Halloween one where Jan gets a lobotomy. I swear ever since starting the Prestiq I've had the strangest dreams. __________________ Ridin' with Biden Last edited by Mountaindewed; Sep 25, 2022 at 10:37 AM.. |

Zero sleep. I didn’t take any sleep med, so got up and binge watched Face Off. Did try to go to bed at 5am but no dice. Just toss and turn

Broken sleep, but slept till later this time. Lots of dreaming, hugely symbolic, re: people & learning.

My sleep was kinda messed up last night. I fell asleep at 5:30 then I woke up at 9:30. I fell back asleep around 1 after taking some melatonin and I woke up a few minutes before 6:30. Which is really late for me. I don't like sleeping in past 5. So I am hoping to sleep decently tonight.

I took 5mg of Ambein last night so I slept hard. I hate taking them because it’s a forced sleep instead of more natural but I needed sleep !

I've been taking my melatonin and then turning on brown noise instead of music. I still will often wake up early but I think my overall sleep has been better.

Ever since I found out about my elevated breast cancer risk sleeping has been hard. I seem to have 2 nights of little sleep followed by a night I sleep soundly. Tonight I fell asleep about 12:30 and woke at 2. It's now 3 and I'm wide awake and kind of agitated.
The problem is that I'm tired. I know you all know but oh, so tired. I'm taking my PRNs but they aren't doing a great job and I can't bug my pdoc any more than I have already as she's out with COVID and I feel terrible that I contacted her at all (although not my fault, just I NEED her to sign something and fax it in to be able to get my clozaril and she's not been in the office to do it and I could tell she was feeling the pressure of knowing I need this done so my prescription is filled on time. I guess I am going to try to read. I don't know if I can or not but I'm going to try. I feel like I did in the hospital once when I just couldn't sleep and every time they came in I just said "hi!" over and over. That did lead to them getting me some ambien. Hope everyone is sleeping soundly. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.
