i sleep about 4 hours then wake up for a few hours then sleep a couple more hours. I have a lot of headaches that wake me up and I have to take something to get back to sleep.
So sorry. I think I’m going through a bout of insomnia right now. Only slept five hours yesterday. I’m super tired now but can’t sleep.

I sleep about 12 hours in a 24 hour cycle if other people will let me sleep.
Sorry about that, hopefully you’ll get to sleep soon
Try melatonin? I sleep 10h since I started coffee. Before, I was sleeping 16h without coffee. I blame the Risperdal, my pdr said it can make me tired and sleepy.
I think it’s cause I got drunk three days in a row. It made my medication ineffective. Then I went on a trip. I missed meds like two nights. To top it off I just started aderall again.
I just don’t understand how I could hallucinate somebody knocking on wall in hotel.
I can’t sleep when I miss my meds. When I can’t sleep I know that I forgot my pills, it became a reflex.

same for me. but i’m schizoaffective so i think it’s the bipolar part of me that’s responsible. why do you think it’s that way for you?
I get an energy rush when I miss my meds, I think its a rush of dopamine. Meds block dopamine.
I’m definitely not energized.
Part of me thinks it’s part of the package deal with schizophrenia. Bargains!
The other part of me thinks somebody is doing it to me. Just as I’m about to fall asleep I hear a wall creak every time. It could be some sort of radio wave or electric gun they shoot to make the noises.
When I had this problem a couple years ago it wasn’t even a noise. Just as I was about to fall asleep I’d pop back awake. I don’t understand how they could do that.
I sleep 8 to ten hours a night but I wake up for snacks 2 or 3 times. I don’t have any trouble going back to sleep. But I take Lunesta every night. I have insomnia without it and without sleep I get psychotic.
If I ever get a doctor who tries to take me off of my narcotics I am going doctor shopping.

I’m down to a reasonable 8 from 10. I don’t like sleeping too much so 8 I’m happy with. Routine is good for me so I take meds same day everyday. I go to sleep same day everyday and I set an alarm to get up…you guess it. It helps to have some routine and it works well for me.

I ended up getting 12 hrs in. I’m pretty sure I could use about 12 more to catch up.
Did you get a good nights sleep?

You mean same time everyday?
I don’t sleep well at all even with Lunesta. Sometimes only 3-4 hours a night and it’s really taking it’s toll on me
Twelve hours or more.
12 hours for me.
