When I wake up (around noon ! ) it takes me about 4 hours to boot up so to speak. I just feel hungover until around 4pm.

Do you feel ok when you wake up or does it take some time for you to feel ok ?

I can feel awake immediately after waking up and then crash hard a few hours later or vice versa. It depends on my mood at the time. When I am manic I don’t need much sleep but I am crashing hard lately.

What time do you go to bed? Are you sleeping more than 10 hours? Isn’t abilify supposed to make you activated?

Is it the depression that makes you sleep till noon, or the meds?

I wake up and have a cup of tea and then I can function. It usually takes about 15 minutes.

Back in the day when i was working, to start at 8am, I’d get up, feel awful have a cup of tea and take the bus journey to wake up of about 30 minutes. So around an hour to wake and function for work.

I go to bed around midnight so I get around 10-12 hours. Abilify is activating at 10mg and sedating at 20mg. I’m on 15mg so I’m in between.

The meds.

I currently feel pretty good when I first wake up. I have some coffee to help me wake up then I can talk to people. When I was on Seroquel it really made me so tired. I slept until 3 or 4pm. Now I can get up at 10 or 11am. I’m on Vraylar and so far it’s working for me. I had really bad akathisia with it at first but then my doc gave me Cogentin and it helps a lot.

When im sleeping and start to wake up i feel starteled inside…then im awake but my head is still sleeping. Then i try to remember the last day but cant. Then while my head is still sleeping get on my feet. My coordination is not working. Then sometimes i have a tobacco cig and make coffee. I suddenly remember the previous day and then im completly awake.

But if i wake up earlyer than 10 am. It takes me hours to completly wake up in my head.

I feel best after waking up. In the morning around 7 or 8. The longer I try to stay up the worse it gets. I try to go to bed by 8 or 9. If I try to stay up until midnight or so it kills me. I get symptoms

I think I take about an hour or so to go from hating that I didn’t die in my sleep to being willing to exist. Sometimes a couple. Depends on if I’ve had caffeine or not.

It takes me from one to two hours to wake up. That is, if I have the luxury.

My girl friend woke me up in a hotel room recently and said, “Come on, we got to get going.” Unhappily, I left my cellphone charger behind.

I’m a morning person. I wake up and in ready to go unless I didn’t get enough sleep and feel sick.

My husband on the other hand, takes minimum 2 hours to even sort of function. I was just teasing him about it today!
