Me, too! Always somewhere around two hours lately. I've got problems.

I slept really good last night. I took one 10mil melatonin and slept from 6:30 until almost 4 and then I fell back asleep 15 minutes later until 5:15. One of the side effects of my new meds is insomnia but it seems to be helping me out with my sleep. I did also cut back drastically on caffeine and most days I'm down to just one soda before 8AM.

Is there some great unspoken rules that two hours is the minimum? Or maximum? Because me three, 2 hours of broken sleep seems to be all I get without artificial help.

Seems to me it's just the max. Of course the sleep gods would allow us to only sleep for 45 minutes some nights.

I fell asleep at 6:45 and slept until 2:45. I'm just in general tired and lacking physical energy. I do my sleep apnea test on Friday.

The ambien I took Sunday night must have help reset my sleep for Monday night too but not last night. Had an awful time sleeping. Was waking up constantly and for some reason my pillow was suddenly too hard, my ear was hurting. So today I have a buzzing in my head from too little sleep. Hopefully I sleep tonight

I do sleep sometimes, & I feel glad when I wake up & realize I finally fell asleep. I wish I could sleep for 7 hours like I used to. But at least I'm alive & able to do a little bit, & I try to give myself credit for those few things that I manage to accomplish. At the moment I feel extremely sad & disappointed in myself. I think it's mostly feeling overwhelmed by too much of a lot of things.

I got 5 broken hours last night which is a lot more than I've had in a while but still clearly not enough for me.

Put a 6 inch foam topper on my bed, that helped make it softer but hotter 🥵 so 50 of one and half of another! I don’t know how much sleep I got, it was a series of wakings and back to the same dream. But confusing and messed up

I also don't know how many total hours I actually did sleep. But I do know that I did sleep & dream. I feel really tired.

I tried the edibles again. This time two of them. Was slightly buzzed but didn’t help me sleep better. Oh well. I’ll try one more time before calling it a loss, but hopes aren’t high.

I had another 11 hour night sleep. I have to do a sleep apnea test so I'm hoping my sleep goes as smoothly with all the wires and stuff.

My sleep was ok but it was interrupted. I fell asleep at 6:30 and then I woke up once at 8:30 but I got back to sleep immediatly. Then I was up from 9 something until 10:30. I know I slept until 5:15 but I kept waking up for a few seconds at a time which I guess I normally do I just don't realize it. I'm just glad I wasn't up for good at midnight like I used to do. So they were able to get enough information for the study.

Seems like no matter what time I go to bed I'm up at 4am. Last I remember checking the time was 1:37am so I got ~2.5 hours at most. I'm so tired it's ridiculous.

I've been up since 12:30. I think it was the coffee and lack of real food I had. Its better that the sleep issue happened last night and not the night of the sleep study though.

Didn't really get to sleep until 4am. Slept about three hours. I've still got the PRNs my Psych NP sent my way. Hopefully, I won't need them, but at least I've got them!

Had a cool wonderland dream. I was attending a convention and we were spilt into teams to solve mysteries and puzzles. Just as I woke up they were showing us the solutions! Oh, for just 5 more minutes of sleep so I could have seen the solution

Still up and not the least bit tired. Does anybody else's teeth hurt when they don't sleep well for a while?
