I fell asleep right before 8. I woke up around 2. I stayed until 4 or so and then I got back to sleep and I struggled getting up at 7. So it was one of those nights.

I know almost for sure that I am definitely sleeping for longer periods of time lately, but I don't/can't schedulize myself. It's so random & not restful in the outcome. I wake up feeling so tired & sad. I keep wishing for a good night's sleep. I feel so useless & like someone I can't respect. I guess it's mostly depression & I need to get well.

I've only been getting 3-4 hours sleep lately, so my new NP prescribed a small dose of seroquel at night. I hate the weight gain & "hangover feeling" the next day, but I can only go so long without sleeping well. Hitting the wall is no fun.

Oh, BD. I'm sorry.

Oh, wow. I feel you with regard to the Seroquel. I take 25mg (12.5 if I can get away with it + melatonin or ZzzQuil) each night and I haven't had weight gain at the very low dose. I do have that (grrr) hangover effect. I hate it. Still working on how to handle it. For example, I had the hangover effect today, as usual. I allowed myself about an hour (maybe a bit more) after awakening to come into my body. Then I took a shower and made myself put my skates and my gear into the car, drove to the park, and had a terrific skate. By the time I came home I was tired, but "good" tired. The fuzzy hangover was gone.

I'm working with myself so I respect the need to awaken slowly, but then compel myself to get on my feet and move, shake it off.

2:15 AM and I'm wide awake. I've had my PRN gabapentin and klonopin. If I don't settle down soon I'm going to have to take the rest of my klonopin PRN.


I need to not be tired tomorrow. I have a lot to do. I want to get up and work on it now but don't want to negate the klonopin.


Oh well, it's not the first bad night I've had and it won't be the last.

I swear I slept fine last night. Better then I have been sleeping lately even. I've had a Coke and a couple zero sugar Fuze iced teas along with 70 grams of protein from actual food. Yet I feel like I got hit by a truck. I am exhausted. I took everything normally last night.

I went to bed late (after 5.00 am) and slept until about 10.30 am. That was a good night for me.

I am officially out of the insomnia club and into the overmedicated hypersomnia club (the insomnia club felt safer)

Hope you're able to get more sleep that is more consistent.

Hey buddha, I hope the seroquel helps with sleep (I'm thinking it probably will)

I definitely don't have that issue. - overmedicated hypersomnia.

Ah yes, I completely feel ya re wanting my brain to shut off. And taking something at night sometimes to shut it off.

I fell asleep around 7. I woke up right before 2. I stayed up until 4 or so and then I fell back asleep until 6. I've been doing ok with just melatonin and then just feeling a general lack of energy so I've wanted to and am able to sleep more at night.

I was up for just about an hour from 11 something until right before 12:30. But I pretty much slept from 5:30 last night until 5:34 this morning, very deeply. I've been trying to pull myself out of bed since.

I'm used to my normal middle of the night soda but I didn't bring one with me. So I woke up at 2 something on Thursday morning but I didn't have a soda to drink and I'm so used to grabbing whatever I want from my own fridge, it felt like I was fasting or something. Then I forgot again to put something in the fridge yesterday But there was a Diet Coke in there I drank this morning. I'm looking forward to my apple Mountain Dew though tommorow morning.

I slept my normal hours. I took a decent much needed nap so I'm hoping the time change won't be a big issue even though it always is. It is so frustrating watching the clock switch back on my phone each year.

I fell asleep at 6. Then I woke up at 11 for about an hour. I woke up again right at 2:27 and I wasn't sure if the clocks were going to switch back. But they already had. So I got a lot of sleep I guess. I had 12oz of Mio and a 12oz Gatorade along with a Mountain Dew so I don't feel too bad physically either, because I had the fluids and the caffeine.

I'm still sleeping now & then, no pattern, just random & always tired.

I know this is the insomnia club, but here me out:
So I take haldol to control the psychosis, take valium to control the akathisia from the haldol, take seroquel to aid the haldol and to fall asleep (no matter how tired I am I can't fall asleep without it), and the three have me tired af all the time. Sleeping 10+ hours a night now. I'm literally waking up, taking my meds and having a cup of coffee and going back to bed for a couple hours.

Muddy in the past I’ve been on meds that unless I take them I just get zero sleep ! I’m
Glad your getting sleep that huge when managing life
