I've been awake since about 3. I hate this, I was so tired all day and slept a lot, so here I am now....probably ready for a rollercoaster of sleeping issues now. It's too late for a sleeping pill, so I'll just have to hope I fall asleep again soon. Hope you're all sleeping soundly tonight!

That's one thing I miss about being hypomanic... being up all night. As a busy mom with two kids it was really nice to have the peace and quiet and the downstairs to myself for hours on end. Since I started on the Abilify I'm lucky if I can stay alert till 10:00 :(

Hope you fell asleep. My kids decided to wake me up all night, so I will probably try to sleep today and have the same problem tonight.

i hope you were able to finally get some sleep. if i had known you were up too we could have chatted. i don't think i've slept more than 2 hours in the past 48 hours. i've maxed on the trazodone i guess it's back to the xanax for me. yuck! i absolutely hate having to take that. come to think of it, i hate having to take the trazodone too, but for now, i guess i'll do what i have to do.


hugs,

thanks guys, I did fall asleep about 5:30 and slept fitfully. The good news is I get doughnuts for breakfast!

I too like mania in that I get a lot done (my house is actually CLEAN then), I feel *really* creative; but boy, the crash after is BAD for me, I don't come down slow. :(
