With my husband out of town, and all the stress we've been having lately due at least in part to my mood disorder, that I would take the opportunity to just let my body do what it needed to in terms of sleep. I've been going to bed when I feel like it, usually between 2:30 and 3, and getting up (sometimes with my alarm, sometimes without) around 11 or 11:30.
The quality of my sleep has been much higher since I started doing this. Last night was an exception. I felt sleepy by 2:30. I turned out the light and started drifting off ... only to have to get up to pee every 15 minutes. The last time I looked at the clock it was nearly 4 am. I was up at 11:30, and 7 and a half hours is really not enough for me. I could have let myself sleep in even later, but I really don't like getting up after noon. It just feels wrong somehow.
I think the titration up to 150 mgs has something to do with this. My mouth has been dry, I've been exercising hard as I usually do, and I've been drinking tons of water. When you drink water, you have to pee. I need to come up with a way to taper off the water in the evening so I can get some damn sleep.
