TMI
I have serious inability to sleep properly more now than I have in a long time. I am not overmedicating.
On Saturday, I think, I slept for 25 hours, waking once to pee after about 14 hours, stayed awake five minutes, then slept another 11 hours. I planned ahead, because I knew I had a hibernation due, and pre-cooked meals for my invalid parents, who live a few houses away.
After the sleepathon, I was fortunate to also sleep on Monday and Tuesday, about 7 hours both nights, but at a much later hour than I wanted.
No sleep Wednesday night, it's Thursday morning 5 am now.
I took 2 Tylenol PM at 10pm, so that's 7 hours ago. Nothing, just dry mouth.
For the first time in a week, I skipped the Alprazalam, (Xanax) because I just am tired of how it knocks me out for too long, and makes me sluggish the next day. It's not the reaction one is supposed to have from this anti-anxiety drug, but I do. My doctor says it's good that it does give me sleep, because the sleeping medication most commonly prescribed didn't work for me. I forget the name of the drug now, it works for everyone else.
Maybe if I take half an alprazalam I can get 5 hours of sleep. I need a little, only, but I do need some or I'm not going to be able to do all I needed to do later today.
It's a total pain. Knowing I didn't want to take the Alp, I put it in the glove compartment of my car. And I don't want to go outside to get it.
You see why sometimes I write volumes at night. Dang, good dang- I think I feel the sleep tide coming in, exactly now.- Thank You, The Ledge. I hope so.
