Why is going to sleep

Feel like I am crossing over?

Not got insomnia like I used too

But my dreams and nightmares are really screwing with my head

Time seems to be very long.

A night feels like a week has passed

It feels like I have slept a week when I wake up

So need coffee and nicotine to ground myself each time

For about an hour last night in the dark was a massive spiritual play

I think my head health is on a bit of a slippery slope

Do not want to consume more clozapine but looking like I may not have a choice

I’ve been awake since 2am. It’s now 430pm. My head is having a bit of a wobble. I had to take my prn. Won’t get chance to sleep until 9pm.

Days with little sleep cause me to suffer mentally. If I can’t get a good night the day time is hard to face,

I used to get terrible nightmares when I slept deep and long. This is a cause of some of my insomnia,

If I don’t take my sleeping meds I’m awake all night full stop. I haven’t had a medless sleep in 20 years.

Good luck in grounding sounds like the coffee will give you a jump start. If I have caffeine I’m a mess.

Well it’s 2am again and I’m wide awake,
It been a rough few hours sleep.
But at least it’s the weekend and I have my family to help out.
Nightmares about drinking and getting wasted and out of control.
I’ve avoided drink for so long as I want to be able to walk my dog without a hangover. 3 more hours until sunrise.
I’m sorry my boring sleep problems are a thread killer.

How many others suffer from sleep problems? I’m sure it’s the route of all my mental sickness.

Have a good weekend everybody.

I had sleep problems for a very long time

Clozapine stopped that

I’m too afraid to change my anti psychotics.

It’s taken me years to get as well as I am. Which is poor but I can function enough to take care of my dog well.

Before I used to spend all my days and nights in bed. Believing it’s better off in bed than being dead,

You seem much better recently. I don’t post often but I do read everyone’s posts, you’ve had a hard time of it but I’m glad to hear that lately you’re more stable.

How was the end of your holiday?

Got through it and got home. Here I will stay now.

Tricky thing, unless you can rule out that the clozapine is causing this. I had vivid nightmares on seroquel, when I went over a certain dose.
