Thumbs up

That's good, Bobby, about reading and about the Klonopin helping.

Bobby

I am sorry you aren't sleeping.

1. Question, are you sleeping at all during the day instead.
2. Have you tried warm milk to see if it helps you sleep?
3. If you can't sleep try reading in this time period. I know
that makes you stay awake too. But I know when I can't sleep
and I read, it makes me sleepy and then sometimes I can sleep.

I've also been known to fall asleep with the tv on.

I don't usually sleep or take a nap during the day. milk doesn;t work. I do leave the tv on. I sometimes read. I am so wired.

I'm sorry you are so wired. I wish I had an idea for that.

Sleep issues like insomnia are very big problems for many people with BP, not that that makes things any easier to swallow for you

Do you take any Klonopin before bed? I know that it works for some people, but not others (myself included).

I know that you spend a lot of time in bed. It may help to only spend time in bed for sleeping, napping, or periodically for resting. If you don't have any comfortable chairs, you may want to invest in a recliner if you don't have one already, or don't have the room

I'm so sorry that you are going through this. You need sleep

I have a recliner but hardly use it. I am mostly in bed watching tv . I started reading again. I am not comfortable in the recliner or on the chairs. I don't have a couch. I set on the chair when I am on the computer
