Well, for me, it's essentially all together frustrating to not be able to fall asleep for a vast array of rationale, reasoning and logic all in one. It's harder still to fall asleep maybe for 1-3 hours, if lucky, and then be restless, sleepless all night long. I have prescription medicines to induce the sleeping process though sometimes I think the Rx mrds merely mock my insomnia and increase my frustrating impatience. ~lol~

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

ps My earnest prayers remain with you for Christ's healing touch...always, bro :)
Solimedral is the main reason I can't sleep. It does give me energy and I like this. I also take Adderall which is a narcodic (speed). I know these thinmgs are not good for me so I am going to try and replace
them with vitimans eventually, I hope, You know I am probably hooked on the speed. I have been taking it for about 12 YRS. So any ways The most frustratingabout this Is when i DON'T GET THE MUCH NEEDED sleep I get fatiqued early in the day. Peace to you
I feel like I'm always chasing around in my sleep too so maybe that's why I wake up tired. I used to just have insomnia that didn't let me stay asleep but now I have the other lovely kind too that makes it about 1-3hrs. before I can get there. I can totally relate lilac my body comes alive at night too no matter how much I try to put it to sleep and I'm always falling asleep in the afternoon even though I don't let myself cuz I'm worried it's going to stop me from sleeping at night.....ha!!! that's a joke! I'm bipolar 11 too so that doesn't help since mania is almost always provoked by lack of sleep and manic prevents sleep....fun! It seems, alas, that I'm not alone. I'm glad to have you all here to relate to and talk to late at night when I can't sleep...lol
God bless all

It has been going on for at least the last twelve years or more. I hope one day it will disappear as fast as the problem came. Can't find a sleep aid that works. I've tried many sleep aids and not one will work for me. So waiting for it to cure itself one day if that is possible. Best of luck to all of you as you also try to get that much needed rest. LOL for all of us. Take care. Jan
I sleep sometimes!!!!!!
I took 1/2 doxylamine succinate so only 12.5mg and I slept well last night, 8hrs. Other times I'll go a few days on only several hrs. Not since the hospital have I taken drugs to help me, I tried temazapam, stilnox and then serequel. I don't get tired. Is there anyone else who doesn't really get tired? No-one I know. I function on very little zzzzzzzzzz. It is quite amazing, but I have always been able to do that. It used to frustrate the hell out of me, now I don't stress. Lyn
