was awak for a couple of nights


yesterday after eating i laid dow fell asleep



woke up 3 hrs later an thought i had slept through tomorrow and today



i felt great but worried and wondering why i had slept like that


it took about an hour before i looked at the computer and saw the date and remember what time i had laid down only 3 hours ago



so as scary as it was i had to laugh and was grateful that i was not depressed or mixed episode

i am still awake but going to bed if i do not go to sleep in a couple of hours if i last that long i will get up and continue crafting

Hi bywena! I think it might has something to do with the seasons getting ready to change. I generally go to bed around 9:45-10:00 every night and wake up around 1:30 in the morning and cannot go back to sleep until about 6:30-7;00, then wake up 8:30 to take morning meds. I’ve been doing this for about a month now and it’s driving me batty. I want a full nights rest...and I don’t take naps during the day. It’s really starting to effect my mood and my energy levels. I hope it gets better for you and you can get some peaceful rest. Rest is a cornerstone to good mental stability. Xoxo

Glad you got some sleep. Your body probably needed it... 3 hours ...6 hours... I know I always start feeling better once I get some solid sleep in after a mania spell. Glad you’re doing well.
