    Yes my point is I use to stay up until 4am sometimes 5am and get by on little sleep until the bipolar thing happened and I got some meds which make me more tired

    When I was in hospital I went a few days sleep reprived and felt I was on the way out it was a terrible experience

    Re: Sleep

    Update I still feel this. I really hate sleeping I hate how I can’t check social media or keep going with my day. I finish work at 6 have my dinner and before long I am going to bed it sucks. I do try and stay up to 2am at the height of my breakdown in 2016 I fell asleep at 10pm. Does nobody else hate sleeping round here?

    Re: Sleep

    Sleep used to be my thing until 2011. I could nap for a few hours in the day and still get a decent 8 plus hours in at night, and it was quality sleep with some nice dreams in with the usual anxiety ones.

    Then it changed in 2011 starting with anxiety dreams taking total control over nice ones. Then the nocturnal panic attacks kicked in and I was having them numerous times a night until I realised that I had to get up and move when I had the first one and not try to lie there and go back to sleep.

    I developed severe insomnia and questioned sleep disorders but tests showed otherwise. I say tests, I had one test which recorded my oxygen levels for obstructive sleep apnoea - which I knew I didn't have.

    When I nap now's like I'm wired - agitated - it doesn't feel nice. I don't get that lovely decent into sleep I used to..

    My dreams are directed by Quentin Tarantino or Stephen King - headless horses, me dying, falling, fainting, being sick - dreams which wake me up with a pounding heart.

    Sleep used to be an escape for me - some time out from this world - but it looks like it's gone for good. I really miss it.

    Phil, I have an incredible urge to give you a sedative.

    No idea what you're talking about.

    Would have to be a big bugger of a sedative.

    Re: Sleep

    I diagnose an entrenched case of FOMO and a need to stay in control with zero uncertainty.

    I've got a case of that in my house too...

    Yes I sometimes manage sleep ok and other times it’s a struggle. I often drift off about 3am anyway but I get worked up when it gets late and have to sleep. I know lack of sleep could make my anxiety worse
