I can hardly keep my eyes open after 8pm.

Does anyone else experience this?

Wow, you can last that long? I'm tired from when I wake up. Ideally, I'd like to sleep for 12 hours plus.

I fight to make myself stay awake until 9 p.m. What time do you awaken?

I get up at 6:30am PST for work and sleep at between 8-9pm. On the weekends I sleep in longer. I just hate the malaise and inability to focus or function. I'm scared about needing to drive in an emergency or something. I wouldn't be able to do it. What time do you get up?

I too am usually half asleep by 8pm. I wake up at 830. I have noticed I don't need the 8 hour sleep (like apparently "normal" people) I need MORE! 12+ hours every night. I stopped taking my Remeron at dinner (which was knocking me out by 630pm) now I wait until right before bed but even before taking that medicine I drag.

I give you credit for managing to get up at 6:30. I awaken sometime between 8 and 9. If I sleep for less than 10 hours I am a mess.

Dreadful fatigue with 100mg Nortriptyline and 1mg Risperidone. Taken about 7.30pm and by 8.30pm I am fighting sleep. Sometimes manage to stay up 'till 11pm, but pay dearly next day. Hand tremors are the worst. Always feel like I'm about to drop down in a heap.
