I had the shortest day ever yesterday, had a doctors appointment at 10am, so I stayed up all night as would never get there otherwise as would be asleep. Came back & slept & slept. Woke at 8pm, stayed up till 10pm, took 2 zopiclone & I was asleep again within 15 mins. Woke up today at 3pm with partner telling me to get out of bed. I know my sleeping tablet (zopiclone) is super powerful, but my 600mg pregablin knocks me out too - after an initial period of intense activity. I can't stand insomnia, my OCD runs rampant with intrusive thoughts if I stay awake, so I stay up till stupid times like 7am, so I'm at the point of exhaustion & just collapse into sleep, but then you get into a cycle of bad sleep patterns. I hope you got off to sleep & find it easier tonight.
Wow, sounds like you’re sleeping habits are in a right pickle lol I used to be similar & would lay in as long as possible mainly to avoid the day & so I wouldn’t start thinking / over thinking. But setting my alarm & getting up at almost the same time every day is making me feel much better. You will find what suits you eventually but until then just be kind to yourself. There’s nothing worse than reprimanding yourself over things because it just exacerbates the problem. I got to sleep around 3am but still made myself get out the bed by 10 am 😁
Pregabalin is known to cause hyper and insomnia, I've heard of people with Bipolar Disorder going full Manic when coming off of it. Be careful, take good care of yourself Lx
