I'm bipolar so it might be related to that but I am still tired and not really elevated, only restless, so I don't know.
My sleeping has always been messed up where I would wake up a couple times a night but I never really cared because I would go back to sleep right away and I'd still get up to 10 hours of sleep. Now I wake up after 4-5 hours of sleep and then can only sleep for an hour at a time after that. And then it gets hard to go back to sleep at some points.
It sucks not having good sleep. Sleep is literally a full break where I shouldn't have to worry about anything but now I am worried my disrupted sleep can lead to mania if it isn't already happening already and I just don't notice. I love my dreams too even if I don't remember them all the time. Every now and then there will be one dream that sticks out and usually it brings comfort or just a different life POV.
I hate being awake with nothing to do. My days feel so long and I just can't wait for sleep but now that sucks now. I am going to see if my psychiatrist can prescribe something because even 10mg of melatonin isn't working and I used a cart meant for insomnia last night. I want a break from life again so bad and it has only been a week.
