When’s your next appointment with your pdoc or primary dr? I’d want them to know because sleep is essential for good mental health

I usually need 8 hours but rarely get it or I’ll sleep 10. Last night I slept 3 hours and I’m awake today. I’ve given up trying to figure it out.

Yeah, it sucks. I went a few weeks sleeping only 3 hours a night. I made an appointment with my pdoc and she gave me 2 meds to alternate between depending on how badly I need the sleep.
If I’m just restless before bed, I take 100mg of hyrdroxizine. If I haven’t been sleeping enough with the hydroxizine I take 30 mg of mirtazapine

All of these people complaining of insomnia while consuming a drug scientifically proven to keep people awake.
CAFFEINE!
Yes, it is true the APs can cause insomnia, but you don’t help yourselves if you continue to consume coffee, tea, caffeine pills, and caffeine soda.
I must have stated this over 10 times over the years.
Caffeine is a drug that jet pilots take to keep them alert and awake. Don’t be surprised if it does the same for you…

I’m on Haldol. I have a cup of coffee around 9am everyday and that’s it.
I drink caffeine in the morning. Right now i have soda. So i drink caffeine up until 3pm. I usually stop then cause it keeps me up for a while. But my sleep has been off for about a month now. I only drink soda about 2 to 3 times every other week.
