I asked my mom right before 6:30 when she planned on turning the air on. She asked if she should turn it on now. I said yeah. Less then 5 minutes after the air was on I was fast asleep from 6:30 until about 3:30 and I feel so much better today then I did yesterday.

Ugh, back to a couple of hours! I was so hopeful after last night.

My sleep was so fitful, I might have been better off just staying up. During Sunday services, I couldn't keep my eyes open even with a cup of my espresso concoction in my system. I got home around noon, set up a 2pm Zoom seminar, pulled the "I'll just take an hour nap." and woke up at 4:15. Fun times. I'm going to try and force myself to be up and at 'em and doing work, so that I can hopefully crash at the "right" time and reset my sleep schedule.

Even with the hydroxyzine the ER gave me I only got an hour and a half of sleep.

Last night was a wash. I watched a movie until 1am or so then I read until 3:30 but still felt wide awake and wired. Tossing and turning until 8am then finally slept until 11:30am.

I fell asleep at 7. I woke up at 11. I got back to sleep around 2:30. I said I'd wake up at 5:30 but it was 6 when I got up and then my mom said she was going to take a long shower so I slept until 7.

I don't know what time I fell asleep, probably around 11-12ish, and I woke up at 3am.

This is extremely embarrassing, but since I overdosed and stopped breathing towards the end of 2020 I haven't been able to sleep alone. When I try and start drifting off I get all panicky and feel like I am about to die. So I've been sleeping in the living room or if it's really bad I'll sleep in my mom's room, but not last night. Nope, last night I slept in my room with the door shut, some Beethoven on, and as I was starting to fall asleep I jerked awake and just tried again....and again...and eventually I was able to sleep.

Took one of the 10 mg ambien s that I have. Went to bed around 11 but at 1:56 was still wake. Sometime after that I fell asleep. Woke at 7 when the alarm went off. Have a head full of noise. Still it’s more sleep than I’ve managed on my own.

Fitful sleep. I woke up twice in the night, finally falling (and staying) asleep around 3am. I feel OK fatigue wise and I hope that continues through the work day!

Had a very early morning appointment. Went to bed early but took forever to fall asleep, then just as I did fall asleep the alarm went off. Weird dream of aliens 👽 and bewitched Samantha and her sister saving me as I turned into an alien to survive a shooting.

This trip has really been wearing me out. I've been so exhausted I can feel it in my bones. These last 2 nights I've been falling asleep around 5-6 and sleeping about 12 hours straight.

Slept in my car. Will probably have to do that again every time I need meds and have an in-person appointment the day before or the day after. Woke up a lot but it was probably more slept than I've had in months.

I woke up at 2:30 this morning. I fell back asleep for half an hour or so around 4:30. My mom was snoring but I had my music on. I finally just got up at 6 and went downstairs and my uncles girlfriend was up too and I desperatly needed to eat some yogurt. People started getting up shortly after since we all wanted to be gone by 9:30.

I should be asleep, & I sure wish I was. My heart aches & I'm scared of too many things. But I've got this idea, & belief, I'll be fine just around the corner. So that's where I am right now.

I’ve been dreading the long nights so delaying bedtime more and more.

I fell asleep at 7 or so and woke up at 11. I drank a couple sodas and then I got back to sleep I think before 3 and then I got up at 6. I'm tired though and I tried drinking coffee but I wasn't in the mood for it. I may or may not take a nap.

I was taking Ambien for almost a week to allow myself to sleep and rest my eye so last night none and of course no sleep but I forced myself to just keep my eyes shut for hours !

Dawn are you doing okay ? Any sleep lately ?

Ohhh Nammu you need lots of sleep and your amazing dreams

I fell asleep before 7. I woke up at 1:40 maybe. I got 45 minutes or so of sleep around 4:55. So it wasn't too bad overall.

Hopefully, I won't jinx it, but I've been pretty regular in my sleep schedule. In bed by midnight at the latest and up anywhere from 6:30-8AM. Plenty of time to get ready to face the day. Here's hoping that lasts!

I took a different type of melatonin. I was out before 7 and I didn't wake up until about 6:30. I didn't have my music on or anything. I feel much better today.
