Since going back on Olanzapine, i’ve been sleeping longer. Last night I got about 11 hours. When I was off meds for a month, I was getting about 7 hours per night.

I look forward to sleeping. Maybe its my depression talking?

I used to think it would solve my problems. Felt like it was easier to be asleep than awake. So id sleep 12 to 15 hrs a day when i wasnt working. Got pretty tired of that. Now i sleep between 6-8 hrs typically.

I would like it more if I didn’t have constant nightmares. Wish I knew how to ditch those.

I think olanzapine is the drug that makes you sleep a lot . I wish I’d stayed on olanzapine.

It didn’t make much of a difference and I have had to discontinue blood pressure meds. My blood pressure has leveled out with the weight loss and the blood pressure meds were making it dangerously low. I was taken off of them.

I love sleeping. I slept ten hours a night for most of my life. A few months ago I went back to sleeping for eight hours a night like I used to in 2010 for a while.

Truthfully I love staying up watching YouTube if I could never sleep again I would chose that option but I get tired

It’s quiet at night it’s calm at night I love the daytime but nighttime takes away from time I could do stuff like learn archery lessons online fishing shows learning about stuff through documentary’s on animals doing essays on animals the list goes on

I love sleeping. Especially the part where you are drifting off and almost asleep as it just your so relaxed.

I wish i could sleep more. I used to sleep slot years ago when I didn’t have commitments and children.

I’m on clozapine it’s ok but not much better than olanzapine and you can’t increase clozapine because of risk of fits and other side effects

I sleep too much, probably, but I love it. Sleep is very important for those with MI.

Agreed man. While sleeping 7 hours is probably better for your health than 11 hours, as I wait for Prozac and Olanzapine to fully kick in I want to sleep as much as possible lol.

I love the feeling of waking up, calm and still sleepy and then falling right back asleep.
