I haven't been diagnosed yet, so I'm not sure if the change in sleep patterns are related. Been experiencing paranoia, anxiety and some delusions. A month ago, I was sleeping loads, like at least 8 hours a day and I still felt really tired. No matter how much I slept I felt tired and it was hard to focus and get work done. The past week, I have been getting up at 3am every single day. I don't have any problems going to sleep, it might take a while before I fall asleep but I usually fall asleep at some time. I get up really suddenly for no reason at all. Its not like I was worried or thinking about anything at all. I just wake up at 3am feeling the same way as I do when I get up at 8am. I usually stay awake for an hour or so then go back to sleep, only to wake up at 6 or 7am again. I know its not unusual to wake up at 6 or 7am but I'm not a morning person and I usually sleep in and get up around 9am. Surprisingly I don't feel that tired, maybe just a little but I can actually focus and do stuff. I thought that this would go away but after getting up at 3am everyday for almost a week, I'm starting to wonder if I should be worried about this? It's not affecting me that much because I don't feel that tired, so I hope I'm not reading too much into this. I am still waiting to see a psychologist, should I share this? Or is it normal to experience disturbances in sleep?

Hi! I do suggest that you bring it up with your doc.
