It’s Sunday. Do you really have to?

I been up not a wink. My body feels shakey, I did walk the dogs and feed them and took my morning meds earlier than normal cause I was like — I’m awake, lets get this done with cause I’ll feel worse physically as I might be up til the evening.

The only time I feel the way you do OP is when I feel super good then I feel guilty for being on disability payments.

But when I feel horrible I feel grateful for SSDI and sleep whenever and however long I need to.

My mind was racing this morning I took my meds a little early hoping that helps. But yeah when the sun comes up I can’t sleep.

Are you a daytime sleeper?

No @Gecko I have insomnia but with the sun shining in it’s impossible to sleep.

If you really don’t need to do anything - like @ThePickinSkunk said, do what your body tells you and don’t be guilted into doing something you don’t have to.

@Kxev I think keeping a consistent sleep schedule is important for this condition though, if what you’re saying is just sleep whenever.

I’ve been sleeping whenever, and it’s not the best. Infact, half the time I don’t know whether I should be sleeping or not cause my sleep schedule is so out of whack.

Maybe get yourself some nice blackout curtains from Amazon if you have your own room.

I really don’t have nothing to do. I just had repetitive thoughts annoying me only way to stop them is staying busy, distraction

I was gonna say (these are the obvious answers) sleep meds and melatonin. Sleep is absolutely critical for this condition.

True - keeping on a schedule is good for us.

Yeah, nothing to do. Plus nothing is entertaining (at least for me) it sux

I’ve been watching comedy lately, and I fake chuckle at things I know are supposed to be funny in a desperate attempt to feel like I’m enjoying something.

I can handle YouTube. Just informational stuff. And people making stuff.

I can’t handle movies, tv shows. It’s torture.
