Hi

I have been sleeping very badly lately (1-2 months). Some nights I get an OK sleep but most nights only 4 hours of very restless sleep (it almost feels like I am awake). Either I wake up at 3-4am and can't sleep again or I can't fall asleep until 3m and then wake up at 7am.

I am going through a very difficult time. I suffer from BPD and there are too many things going on in my life right now.

Anyway, my question is, is it normal to feel a constant confusion when sleep deprived like I am? For example, I am not sure what happened when, so when I am trying to remember when I said or did something I can't figure out if it was today or yesterday or the other day. Or maybe I just dreamt it

Also, the days feel long (they ARE long), so I feel the day is made up by 3 days. This might explain the previously explained feeling.

*TW* I recently was in the hospital 3 nights due to being a danger to myself and there I got sleeping pills and felt better, but when I am out again the sleep issue continues.

The stress level inside is quite extreme. I fear I will lose my mind I have excessive physical energy but then crash mentally for no reason at all.

Is this normal with the amount of sleep I am getting?
Or am I losing it?

PS. Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I thought about posting in the BPD forum but this one seemed more appropriate.

My sleep is pitiful. I almost never sleep more than 90 minutes at a time so I never really get a good deep sleep going. My concentration is crap but I also have ADD. And I have the same trouble with timelines. Days just blur together for me. I'll try to remember something and can't for the life of me remember when it was.

Sorry to hear this! It is really hard I wish I could take meds but I am not allowed except in cases of emergency (like not having slept at all for several days).
