Wonder when this 'phase' of PCS actually ends, I'll be coming up to a year soon and sleep is still crappy. It's not the waking up early it's not being able to get to sleep again that is the PITA. Even if I'm really tired I rarely get more than 4 or 5 hours before mysteriously waking up, sometimes I wake after only a hour or two and end up drifting off into some kind of half sleep. Last month I thought things were getting better but I was wrong. Maybe one day someone will get the funding to study this, I know lower levels of melatonin in PCS sufferers has been suggested.

Super,

We are paralleling each other on the sleep.

I sleep about the same and wake up after about an hour for no reason and as you, hit a half sleep till 5 a.m.

I thought it was over as I had around three weeks of good rest then two weeks ago....back to the old pattern.

Anything beats the hour or two a night it was for around two months.

I wake around 5am every day too. Some days it is even earlier, and it doesn't matter what time I go to bed.

Excactly like me. The sleeping patterns seem to be part of the rollercoaster rides. I had very good sleep until the day when Super Bowl was. I stayed up all night to watch it and since then I have the same crappy sleep as 1.5 months ago. But it's quite interessting that most people here wake up excactly at 5 am.

I had a real different experience last night....slept a full restful 10 hours. Been a month since I slept that good and 4 months since it was common to have a good sleep.

I sure thank God for that.

Hey, Bud do you know why you had such a good sleep, is it because you were more tired than usual? I've been trying to work out why some nights I get enough sleep, about 6 hours and other nights hardly any, and the only thing I can think of is that less computer time seems to equate to better sleep. Not ideal for a web designer!
