I've weaned myself off all my meds except LDN, my thyroid med, my HBP med and the occasional Baclofen. I don't take an AD or any kind of sleeping pill.
Usually, during the week, after everyone has left for the day I go back to bed (around 7:30 AM) and can sleep until at least 11 AM. Some days I don't (or can't) but usually I do.
I'm not excessively sleepy during the day and if I do get tired I take a nap. During the day I'm interrupted more often than not, though, by the phone or the doorbell or just by daytime noises like lawn mowers, etc.
It hasn't really caused a problem for me since I can pretty much take a nap whenever I want to. If I wake up during the night I get up and play on the computer or watch a little TV until I get sleepy again. I can usually go back to sleep without a problem.
I've never been one to sleep 8 hours (except when fatigue hits). Not even as a teenager. And, I'm a morning person. LOVE the mornings. Love to sip coffee as the sun comes up and the birds start singing.
I'm sorry ya'll are having trouble sleeping, too. If I could work and had to be somewhere at a certain time I'm fairly sure this would all become a big problem for me.
