Anyone who can't sleep for long?

[Crawling]

I take my sleeping pills at 8:00 and I'm asleep by 9 but as soon as they wear off I am up and about. Anyone else find they can get to sleep just can't stay asleep?

Yep, know the feeling well! no advice though sorry, x

It's horrid isn't it?

It sure is! Especially when it's weird dreams and nightmares waking you.

Mines only started because of what's happened to my sister, just worrying about it as this is how I get when my illness kicks in.

Sorry about your sister I read your other thread. Mine has started as I'm depressed.

Thank you.

It's awful when the depression starts setting in isn't it?! you don't have any control over the sleeping thing, you can't stop yourself from waking up.

im having same thing and im taking zopliclone.

hope it improves.

I was going to call my psych as i am the same just now, take my meds around 9pm and awake by 5.25am each morning and nothing I can do to get me back to sleep. I can empathise.

Hi, could you take them an hour later, if asleep around 9pm?

That's what I'm gonna try tonight hoop. Thanks for all replies so sorry so many of us are in the same boat.

I was going to start a thread asking the same thing, Ive tried taking meds an hour later but my mind wakes up at the same time anyway

I also have been waking shaking, frightened and anxious, I think I might need my medication looked at. I detest being/having bipolar, it truly sucks.

I hope your mind is different to mine Crawling and lets you sleep a bit longer.

Thanks diaryofawimpymum.
