Hi,
I left work early today (Monday) because I only had 3 hours of sleep the night before and was too sleepy to function. I'm not going into work on Tuesday either because I am sooooo worn out from lack of sleep. I've been in treatment for sleep and bipolar since 1988. I wish I could get some help sometime soon about sleep. Maybe this decade would be nice!!! M. |

Mari, I had that problem for years. Medications sometimes helped, but mostly didn't. My pdoc is the no benzo, no sleep-aid kind of a man, so there was no encouragement from him to try anything specific.
Fortunately for me a muscle relaxant that I have been prescribed for lupus has helped. For the last couple of months that I've been on it, I've slept well. Let me see - I know you must have tried a whole lot of stuff - maybe I could dig something up? What kind of sleep-aids have you tried?

That is terrific Mari!
I, on the other hand, slept badly.  But that's OK. I can catch a nap whenever. I am lucky that I mostly don't have the pressure of having to watch the clock. Hope your sleep better from now Mari and I hope that is not wishful thinking!

Does reading help? I find most TV programes keep me up - light, noise - too stimulating. Deep breathing? Have you tried a sleep clinic?
