I have hallucinations almost every night. I sleep like 10 hours but I’m up a good portion. No naps except every once in awhile. Now I’m starting to get restless leg syndrome from my dose being upped. I’m on benztropine for it but it only helps so much. I’m content for the most part with my sleep.
My sleep patterns are all over the place. Today I slept from 12:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Now I’m up all night. On Monday we have day treatment, and I will probably doze through that.
I do 7-8 hours a night. Go to sleep after 8 pm or so and up at 5am. It’s winter so I’ve been sleeping in which means I get up at 5:30am. I like regular and take meds and eat etc same time everyday if possible.
Whoa, whoa, whoa… You can have a SCHEDULE for sleep?! I think I’m doing this wrong! Left to my own devices, I go to bed late (12-2am), wake up too early (4-5am), feel too groggy to do anything but can’t go back to sleep, then take about an hour’s long nap later (10am-12pm), wake up and want to eat and do stuff but still too groggy. Nap in the afternoon or evening (time range too wide here), then feel fine just in time for it to be too late (read: dark and scary) to get up and be active. Wash, rinse, repeat.
For a while, my sleep schedule was existent and fabulous- take pills at 8:30, sleep by 9pm. Wake up around 5am. Summer is messing me up, I think, because I don’t have to consistently wake my daughter up for school, so I don’t worry as much about going to bed early. Summer is a disaster. Everyone in the house is sleeping weird hours. Even the dogs don’t know when to sleep and when to stay awake.
