GOOD JOB!

I always say when it comes to sleep, if we need it, we take it. I used to sleep like that every two weeks. Go to sleep one night, wake up to take care of nature, and go right back to sleep.

This scares me because I can't sleep more than 5 hours before I have to be up for work. I missed work on monday but luckily I could blame it on flooding.

Chugger, don't worry, the sleepiness will stop, but only enough for you to get a good night's sleep EVERY night!
Enjoy!

Wow!!! You're only 2 hours shy of how much I'd LIKE to sleep!!!!!
Well, obviously, things can't continue on in this fashion!!!
But many times, meds I have been put on affet me like that -- but only for the first few days.
Hopefully, you will quickly adjust to this new mix. If not, I guess they'll have to tinker with your meds some more!!!!
