Hyped!!!

I haven’t had a proper nights sleep in about a week! I get about 2/3 hrs a night but it’s broken sleep. I’m so caught up with watching tv in the early hours when they are all asleep, mainly the Christian channels, which is odd because I’ve never even thought about religion! It’s becoming like an addiction!

I don’t seem to get tired anymore!

You really need sleeping pills. I'd let your psychiatrist know, so she/he can prescribe them.

Eat warm bananas, drink warm soya milk and honey. it should make you sleepy

When I can’t sleep I get to sleep by listening to this deep relaxation music on YouTube:

I am finding sleep difficult too. I think it is Aripiprazole that causes sleep disruption, makes it very difficult to stay asleep.

The sleep disruption passes. You can always take it in the am, that’s what I do

I don't know much about mania, but it sounds similar to me.

i find my anti psychotics are great for getting me off to sleep....im asleep within 5 minutes every night.

The anti p’s don’t knock me out, the sleeping pills don’t knock me out. I’ve been on a cleaning and gardening in the snow binge today. Mrs lab rat insisted I went to bed this afternoon, wasn’t tired, told her that. Went to bed for 2 hrs, lay down with my eyes shut for half hour, when I heard zzz I sat up and read for 1 1/2 hrs. Going to try the sleeping pills again tonight, along with the other kind suggestions (I even brought some soya milk) but I think it’s a really bad idea for me to be driving at the mo, especially after today’s performance! What was I saying? Oh yes, I’m going to try all the suggestions, I think my concentration has gone completely kaput! I’ve lost track of when I last slept, but I don’t feel tired at all! If it wasn’t for the lockdown I think I would have gone gym for a couple hrs!

It seems worse than ever tonight, not a wink of sleep so far 3:12 am

Maybe exercising will help?

Maybe exercising will help?

I’m going to give that a try today, thanks

 

[Lab rat]

Great! Another night no sleep

Maybe try making your house cold and snuggle up under some blankets in the bed, that usually helps me fall asleep.

Thanks, the house is bloody freezing already and we have an extra thick duvet on. It’s like the tv is calling to me like a siren song, to go and watch. I’m completely wide awake!
