Feeling sleepy,Olanzapine

I am feeling sleepy in the morning even after a good 8 hour sleep during the night.It make the start of my day at work not good enough.I am taking like 5mg Olanzapine,low dose?

Really hate feeling sleepy no matter how many hours a good sleep I have had

Same issue here. I think that in my case it is because I have so much sleep debt from my insomnia that even if I get a good night sleep, I still have insomnia.

Perhaps you should take the olanzapine at night? I don’t know when you take it. I take my abilify at night because it makes me tired.

I take it at night too,at around 8:30-9:30.I slept yesterday at 1:20 then wake up at 9:30.Struggle to get up from bed,I feel unfair that all my colleague wake up fresher then me no matter how much time I slept earlier,while some of them slept later

are you going to sleep at 1:20 because you can’t sleep earlier? I would try to go bed earlier. But I am a morning person. I naturally wake up at 7:30. If I go to bed earlier, I get more sleep.

I go to bed earlier if I don’t have anything on.My work ends at 9:30pm,and I get home to exercise and can get to sleep earliest at 11:30pm which I plan to do.

I play futsal twice a week and end up sleeping later at 1:30am,Sometimes I meetup with my gf and slept at 1++.I still get to sleep at 11:30 three times a week and I need to wake up at work only at 9:30pm

I still can get 8 hours of sleep everyday

Maybe for people like us on antipsychotic need more hours of sleep then usual?i am not sure
