I sleep a lot and my medicine is at a low dose. I have been on heavily sedating meds before so I know the meds aren’t the reason.
I have just come out of a terrible fight with a voice which lasted thirty years and I just want to sleep. I’m not even very depressed just weary.
Do you sleep a lot or too much?
I usually sleep 12 hours after taking my Olanzapine at night.
Ive recently gone from 12 hrs to about 7 after stopping haldol
I used to sleep 10 to 15 hours a day. Now i sleep 6 to 8 hours.
Damn sir Level. That’s a lot of sleep
Yeah i used to waste a lot of days sleeping. Had hypersomnia. But i got it under control now and plus im tired of sleeping the days away 
I remember some days id sleep 15 hours get up and eat , sit on couch for a few hours then sleep for another 10 hours. It was an odd existence
3-5 hours a day. Chronic back pain.
I just slept 14 hours.
I can sleep anything between 5 and 15 hours.
I used to sleep up to 14 hours in one go. The negatives were too strong and I’d barely leave my bedroom…
Now I sleep 8-9 hours a night. Sometimes a brief siesta in the afternoon. Colossal difference.
Very Spanish to do a siesta!
Good to see you on the forum again @Andrey .
Thanks Jonathan.
I mostly lurk these days, but way less than before.
I’m in a decent headspace right now, trying to change some bad habits such as sedentarism, endless phone scrolling and poor hygiene, among others. It’s tough…
Changing habits is hard.
I read the other day to say ‘5-4-3-2-1’ in your head and then do something.
I find it helps a bit.
Just an idea to play around with.
I got to minus 17 and nothing happened. Should I keep going? 
Haha. At least you tried…
Not more than 8 hours I have no problem falling asleep but sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night.
I get around 8 hours a night but I nap almost everyday for an hour or two plus rest/meditate/relax every few hours too.
I have been sleeping way too much… like taking naps in the day and stuff. Probably depression
Before Abilify I averaged around 7 hours a day.
Now on Abilify I average 5 hours more or less
On a higher clozapine dose I slept 12-13 hours a day, but now at the lower dose I sleep about 8. I also do this weird thing where I go to bed in the bedroom and fall asleep but usually migrate to the couch at 1 or 2 in the morning. The bedroom just gets too hot cuz the apartment complex has turned up the heat for winter. At least my dog migrates with me…
