I knew this morning something was off. Kinda struggled through the day. I’ve been doing really well with my sleep recently.
I have noticed a pattern where I go a couple days with little sleep and no napping, but feel fine. Then have a day like today.
Oh well…Big Bang reruns for an hour then I should be able to sleep. Bonus no one in the house is getting up early tomorrow because of the holiday.
 
this Artic air has set in. Last night weather had gotten quite extreme as I needed to place more layers on so this drop in degrees now has me starting to look like a puffed doll. Thankfully I'm not having too much trouble sitting - yet
 
We’re seeing negative numbers tonight. 🥶

I got some sleep last night, but still feeling tired. I’m guessing I had some small nocturnal seizures. Besides the lack of energy. It’s not having any motivation. Even doing things I enjoy doing. My whole attitude kinda sucks. Not normal.

Good evening everyone, I am on the night shift again, I get light headed and have issues moving around during the day. Since they like to baker act people here and few cops have epilepsy training in Florida
 
I sleep alright during the day, get more hours in between ten and five o'clock but no matter if I don't, I still can't sleep at night.
Thank God for streaming services. lol
 
My body all but makes me sleep during the day, the level my head gets to, today I tried to get up make myself move around some, it was embarrassing
 
The late night run. It is impossible to get a catalog in the mail these days
 
Sleep is still my main issue. No reason for me to be awake. It’s nice to get out of bed and not have that. Winter, night time cold feeling in the house.
I can usually watch a sitcom and try again.
 
Oops not quite midnight yet. Of well
I’ve been doing really well. Sleep is still an issue. Just when I think I’ve got it figured out. Something keeps me up.
Then there’s days where I don’t sleep well but feel good enough the next day. Usually not, but occasionally and it’s not normal.
Oh well, off to watch some tv.
✌️
 
It's currently 4AM and I've been so bad about sleeping while unemployed that because of my hallucinations that are now pretty severe, I regularly have issues paying attention to them and losing track of time. I have to learn to keep busy somehow with posts like these. The problem with being awake at this hour is there is not much to do. Food isn't available easily, no one is out and about. So, I don't know what to do heh. I have to be awake during the day though, so yesterday I stayed awake all night and went to bed early. Today I woke up at 2AM to try and reset my sleep schedule after going to bed around 5:30PM. It sucks, but sometimes you have to do it.
 
Ugh
Still can’t get a decent sleep pattern. Although I have been having the occasional mild nocturnal SZ.
My son has been away for the last year. My wife and I have been taking turns sleeping in his bed most nights. For a variety of reasons. Now that she’s back in the bed with me. She lets me know roughly what time of night.
I’ve got a meeting with the doctor tomorrow. See what he says. I’m still doing much better than a year ago. I can’t see us making any changes to my medication.
Time for a sitcom and sleep on the couch.
