Cool insomnia club #4

I can’t imagine trying or getting any sleep with the hell you’re going though Cristina. Gentle hugs and a soothing calm hug for you.

I’m back in the cool club! No idea why it was so hard to sleep last night. But got up at 5:30 and watched toons until the Wild Wild West was on, then after I couldn’t keep my eyes open I lay down again. Sir joined me, I think he slept while I gave my eyes a rest.

Thanks Nammu.

Here’s hoping you can get some quality actually sleep and not just checking your eyelids for dust.

I've been sleeping more. But randomly, like naps, 2 hours or close to that during the day & evening, then awake during regular sleeping hours. Lots of really weird dreams.

I hope things are getting better for you, Christina.

A hug for Sir, Nammu.

Thanks

Wish I could roll that sleep your getting into one long stretch over night

I slept until 5:00 when my partner woke me up! It’s a miracle!

Sleep has not been good lately, I'm not sure what's going on. Worse than.. The ''help'' I was given was not helpful.

More almost non-sleep & lots of nightmares.

I slept till 7:00. It’s a miracle!

I know what that’s like, tough. Hope you get some restful sleep tonight

I sleep with my music on if my earbuds can stay in which they often don't. But when they do my dreams often combine with my music and it can be pretty cool. I had one dream where the drag queen Sasha Colby was doing an intense lip sync to the song Slow Burn and when she was finished RuPaul said "Sasha Colby, I know a few things, but I still have a lot to learn." And I woke up right as that line of the actual song was done playing on my phone.

Idk. Its just fun stuff when it happens.

ugh today is just gross and im exhausted

Woke up at 4:45am. That’s okay for a work day I guess.

Random naps & lots of really strange dreams, some of them while I'm waking up & my voices are in them, sometimes also seeing the dream people, then I realize I'm dreaming, & the voices & I end up in conversation about the dream people.

My sleep was pretty good for a few days. Last night it was really sucky. I'm not sure about tonight. Hotels are hit or miss or me.

I had a dream the other night where I said 45 likes his steak well done and I was carted off to Fox News miltary jail camp.

I keep on having dreams about middle school and high school, and about eating food. I can tell I'm in the second half of my life because of the nostalgia dreams.

I’ve been referred to the sleep clinic because I keep sleeping way too much and feeling extremely tired during the day. It’s not helped by the fact I act out my dreams and startle myself awake loads of times per night.

Anxiety and worry keep me from sleeping well or deeply and tossing and turning all night.

This weekend I woke up at midnight both nights and at 1AM I had my first meal of the day. Then I got back to sleep a couple hours later until 7:30. Not my ideal schuedle so I'm hoping to fix it soon.

Urgh it’s 3:30 and I have to be up in 2 hours…
I’m so stressed, I keep just thinking about things I need to do!
I’m making a plan tomorrow to work through some things on my list!

I apparently have diagnosed insomnia according to my pdoc. I don't know if I agree with that. Lately I seem to just sleep in 2 shifts and I wake up because I'm hungry and which is another issue besides insomnia. I've never gone a full night without sleeping, I've always gotten at least 3 hours a night.

Lately I've been up during those twilight hours or whatever its called between 11-3 and I listen to my music and drink a soda. I think that may just be being a night owl. Sometimes I enjoy it. Other times its frustrating.

Well it’s 3:30am and I’m thinking about everything I need to do
Why, brain???

Despite it being a holiday Monday, I am going to be doing work I just have too much to do and too much to catch up on.

I’m awake again and it’s after 2am.
I’m feeling very stressed again.
I need to do more work tomorrow.
I’ve got my presentation on Wednesday, I’ll be glad when that’s over.
It’s all a bit stressful to be honest. I don’t know how others cope, but obviously I’m not doing a very good job

My brain feels like it’s on fire.
It won’t stop!

I feel so sensitive to everything right now and everything is stressing me out or irritating me.

I might go play my mindfulness app.

Since my seroquel increase my sleep has gotten a bit better. My pharmacy sucks though. My pdoc prescribed me 200mg of seroquel to take scheduled and 100mg prn. I HEARD him call in the 100mg prn and for some reason my stupid pharmacy only gave me 30 50mg tablets. Idiots! Seriously! If I run out (which I will) and they have an issue with me getting a refill I'm having them call my pdoc's office.

Im thinking about switching pharmacies because they can't seem to get their shyt together.

I get my meds bubble packed and have had months where they "forgot" to include a dose of my diazepam or gabapentin. It's never the Lamictal or the seroquel... always the diazepam!
