I sleep. I just belong to the screwy sleep schedule club. Can't stay awake past 8pm and wake up at like 2am for the day. Makes for a really long work day. I'm like dead tired by the time I get home and make dinner. Time change has me all messed up still.

I tossed and turned again all night. Got up and took my grandparents grocery shopping. Now I have to go to work for a while.

My Seroquel XR is pretty good at making me sleep well at night, but lord help me if I don't take it as scheduled. If I had to quit my Seroquel XR, I really would be scared for myself, unless I had some ultra sedating replacement. As it is, my Seroquel XR doesn't sedate me much beyond the sleeping hours.
I only slept 4 hours last night, but only because I was as sick as a dog. |

I’ve been falling asleep between midnight and 2 with this new lithium and waking around 4 am. It could also be caused by stress and anxiety. I’m not tired during the day so it’s not really bothering me yet.
I hope everybody here gets some quality rest soon. |

Well I got zero sleeps again.
There’s a definite patten tho. I sleep 4-6 hours at most then 2 days of zero sleep then I’ll get my big ole 4-6 hours. Wash rinse repeat I’m not enjoying this particular Merry Go Round and would like to get off. __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

Christina, I am so sorry to hear you could get any sleep. It really wears you down mentally and physically. I wish I had a great idea that would help you. You are very knowledgeable so I am sure you have tried everything.
Going on the last three nights I think I can join this club. Seroquel seems to put me to sleep for around three hours then I struggle to get back to sleep as I wake in a panic and struggle to calm down enough to sleep more. At least I am getting 3 hours sleep, and sometimes more. I have struggled with insomnia all my life. It comes in waves. It just seems a pointless thing for my brain to do (or not do). It is early days so I am not desperately sleep deprived like many of you are. As much as I love you guys I think I would rather exit the club soon. __________________ Bipolar 1 with psychotic features PTSD "Phew! For a minute there I lost myself." 'Karma Police' by Radiohead |

I was really tired last night so I happily went to bed hoping for a long sleep. Here I am 2.5 hours later wide awake.
Sorry for anyone else that's awake at Thurs time too. We'll get through this somehow. __________________ * Dx: Unspecified Bipolar and Related Disorder * Rx: Latuda, Remeron, Prozac, Klonopin, Vraylar My avatar picture is a photo of the Whirlpool Galaxy I took in April 2023.

It's after midnight and I'm totally wound up from work. It's going to be a while. I also took some melatonin - I'm unsure if that really works but might as well try

Well dang how'd I miss this thread?
I'm definitely a member, hope ya don't mind I picked up 4 stars? The ambien didn't help me sleep at all but it does seem to relax me or something cause my bed isn't so hard. So I stay in bed, I toss and turn less too. Keeping my eyes closed( with the help of my sleep mask) seems to help too, my eyes aren't falling out of my head. The older I get the harder on my body this insomnia is. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

Up all night last night - pdoc is having a fit - saw him today. He increased my seroquel. Hopefully this is just a temporary patch.

I pretty much collapsed this afternoon after the insurance fiasco and got some sleep.
I will try to get more sleep tonight but it’s doubtful. __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

It's time to turn off all the toys and take my book to bed. Hope, every night I hope to sleep,....am I insane for trying to do the same thing every night?

No ... not insane at all. My husband 98%of the time , goes to bed, scrolls Facebook for a few mins. Puts it down and he’s asleep in 1-2 mins. He has a semi regular bedtime and he is setting alarm to get up 6-7 am. It mostly works for him. People like us??? Well we can try our best to find a night “routine “ for sleep but with life long chronic insomnia it’s just an enormous struggle that we might sleep well for a few weeks maybe longer but it doesn’t last long. I was maybe 6-7 years old and my mom found me awake in the middle of the night, by today’s standards I got a “ beating “ but after that anytime I heard a noise I’d literally play dead. My sleep was always poor. So when your a child and have insomnia it’s very likely you will never sleep “ normally” and pile Bipolar or other illness into the mix ? Yeah suckville I hope it’s a enjoyable book __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |
