I fell asleep hard for 5 glorious hours but H woke me up when he went to the bathroom. I'm up now.

Hope everyone else is getting some much needed rest

I slept last night. First dream was about mankind struggling to survive in caves after the fall of America. Men had turned women into slaves that couldn't have babies. And a few women defeated their radiation devices and could have babies again. Second dream was about a teen trying to sabotage a family garden business that lived near. The sea. Lots of four wheelers and tools in this dream. I was trying to put the tools away in safe dry spots and the teen was driving about dropping them all over the beach.

Well I have been awake since Saturday about 8 am , we left at midnight for Florida. 17.5 hours! Our normal drive is about 13.

I’m so stressed , tense and just plain hurting I am hoping xtra Xanax and muscle relaxers will help me sleep because right now I’m wide awake and twitchy.

Well tonight was a lost cause. On the plus side I'm almost finished with the book I started at 10:30pm. Only 90 pages left to find out who dun it.

I have slept for one and a half hours. I then got out my phone to look up a past friend. Now I am listening to music while posting here. I have stopped worrying about money. I do need to get a part time job, maybe with Uber Eats. I do not know if I can handle transporting real people. So hopefully I can get back to sleep soon having realized this and just getting on with it.

Well I had had 2 nights of sleep 6-8 hours, but broken ... I’m really loaded myself with meds, certainly over serving myself, nothing of a dangerous level of course.

It’s imperative that I get sleep while we are out of town, so I lean very hard on a couple meds.

Last night I managed to stay awake until 9pm for the first time in 3 weeks.

I ended up sleeping just 4.5 hours and didn't go back to bed, but I did some other nights.

Hopefully things will improve soon.

I know what you mean Christina. When we're at the hotel Friday and Saturday I have extra meds with me to sleep. Dealing with people and the wedding takes a lot out of me, so I need the sleep if I can force it I do. Friday mum has a hair cut then we drive to the hotel, check in and get to rehearsal. After that is the dinner,....at a casino( in the next state over!)!!! Then drive back to the hotel. Don't have to be at the wedding til 2pm, so that's good. After the wedding is a short break then the reception. Then Sunday morning the drive back home. So I need my sleep Friday and Saturday. Being a hotel room makes it difficult.

Resurrecting this thread - still struggling to get enough sleep. I see pdoc in 3 weeks.

I take 800 mg Seroquel plus gabapentin plus melatonin. So frustrating.

I’m sorry your struggling to sleep , again? Still? Vicious cycle !

Have you ever tried benedryl ? Or Visteral , it caused bladder retention for me , I always get the wacky side effects but so many people find it helps a lot for sleep. Hope your apt comes fast !

My sleep is pure garbage , sleeping while away from home is always difficult.

We got home late Saturday and when I climbed into bed it felt amazing, but I had done 3 energy shots to make the 14 hour drive so I was still wired.

Last night I did get a few decent hours. It’s 3:36 am now and I should have gone to bed hours ago. I hurt my back bringing in luggage so it’s hard to find a comfortable position.

I actually have a paradoxical reaction to Benadryl - it winds me up - so we avoid it at all cost. I've had Visteril in the past - it doesn't seem to do anything. I'm just extremely hard to sedate - LOL.

I got a couple hours of sleep but now am up wide awake at 7am. SIgh.

Hope you got some sleep!

Traveling and getting out of routine always throws me for a loop too. I hope your back heals quickly!
