If you are not able to study or work it is the best, but if you are high functiong or normal it is a waste of time. :slight_smile:

I wish I had big , big solutions for you.
I have this problem too, both on and off medication.
Exercise helps to a certain degree.

Abilify dehydrates you, so if you hydrate (water) throughout the day you’ll sleep less. Also, make sure the temperature in your bedroom is comfortable.

I take all the sleep I can get. Now working I get up at 615 when my alarm goes off. I would sleep more but I can’t. Try setting an alarm. See if you can handle less sleep. I seem to be managing it okay.

Since all APs sedate, I would think that they all dehydrate.

It is very good if your body needs it. :slight_smile:
I started to need it too since I was getting ill.

Drink caffeinated coffee without cream and sugar. That’s how everybody I know on these meds stays awake during the daytime. And it works!!! Drink it all day long.
