Re: Personal diary but hope it helps other
Wanted to make a note in my little diary I had been taking zopiclone for a fair while was treading about getting addicted on Tuesday night decided I don’t want to be on this drug anymore stopped cold turkey managed to sleep 5-7 hours I’m calmer telling myself when any anxious thought or checking thought is just anxiety . Try not to make anxious predictions and to wait to see how things turn out . I’ve had 3 days off been waking a fair bit due my vulvodynia flair which is not surprising since I was bleeding for almost three week and having to wear pads and my husband is the snore king 😂 waking me up loads I did have head aches on the second night that no paracetamol was touching but 3 night 5-7 hear or there is fantastic I think x

So gone down stairs in attempt to try and claim back some sleep x but come here to reflect and try stay focused it will be ok x

Re: Personal diary but hope it helps other
I had managed some good nights sleep till holiday bed was awful very hard for duration of holiday got about 4 hours each night and that has continued at. Home partly because my husband had a phone conversation about my step son whom has put us in a very very stressful situation so it made me think about what he had been accused of and the people involved . Hoping we will know more on Friday . My bed is causing aching and discomfort when husband is not I. It (water bed) and when husband is in it he snoring like no one business 😭 but I just have to be patient and my sleep will improve I just need to make sure I relax before bed again get my head prepared to be in sleep mode x

Re: Personal diary but hope it helps other
Well sleeping good on sleepers last tablet free night I did not sleep at all and last night was another tablet free night with a full tablets sleeps in between . I did take me till about 3:30/4am to fall a sleep but I’m taking that as abonus it means in managed about 3 n half to 4 hours a sleep been in a lot of pain certainly did not help but ibuprofen, paracetamol and Codiene did help though maybe if I had taken the ibuprofen earlier I may have slept better? My jaw was in agony. Woken up with shoulder ache which has gotten me a bit down today more pain to add into the mix . Well tonight I’m going to take my sleep at my usual time of 9:30 tonight . I’ve lay down while my little one was at nursery to help keep my energy up didn’t manage to sleep in the day but I think the rest done me good anyway x
