I could never plan anything because I never knew if it would be a day that I was going to sleep 16-18 hours. At least this way I can plan on 10 hours of sleep and know that I can wake feeling rested. The Zonisimide I take 100mg of (I think that is a small dosage, I'm not sure). Hope this helps. I can sympathize with you because one week I was at Disney World on vacation and one of those 16-18 hour sleep days came & I missed the entire day at WDW. Good Luck

I take 1/2 mg of lorazepam at bedtime. Gets me through to 2 or 3 am or so. Sleep is variable after that. I had to go to a Vocational Rehab appointment a few weeks ago. Among a lot of other rhetoric, he recommended getting things done by 1 or 2 pm as that is when I run out of gas! Brilliant!
