Basically I don't understand how I can wake up tired, yawn during the day but fail to fall asleep at night, it's bizarre! Maybe I'm getting too much brain stimulation during the day because pre injury I'd be zombied on 3 hours sleep but I'm not now. When I see the PCS neurologist I'll ask for some hormone tests to see what my cortisol and melatonin levels are, I wonder if they might be awry. I'm open to suggestions though.

I tried mirtazapine once, a friend who is on them for depression said they made him sleep so gave me one to try. It certainly made me feel sleepy and relaxed especially when I woke up it was like the old days of waking on a Sunday morning, but it made me constipated and lowered my blood pressure, pretty powerful stuff. I hear coming off them can give you insomnia :-(

EDIT

One other thing lately I feel queasy when I wake up...anyone else have this?
