Sleep Journal 1

I am going to use this journal for a while to record my sleep patterns, see if that helps figure out what is happening to me.

Sat nite - Sun morn: started at midnight, finally alseep by 2 AM
awoke by alarm at 9Am, reset alarm to 10 Am, went back to sleep
awoke by alarm at 10 Am, hurried to go to Church
no time to use mood light - requires 45 minutes sitting still
really wanted to go, had missed 3 weeks perivious
when arrived at Church, realized it was mistake - actually stumbling around
Sat in comfortable chairs in foyer, fell alseep constantly during service
went home after first hour, went to sleep again at 1 PM
slept until 6:00 PM
active until midnight, fell asleep at 2 AM

Sun nite-Mon morn: awoke at 7 AM. Did not trust it after experience I had yesterday
used mood lite for an hour while played W101
at 8 Am, decided that I felt good enough to go to work.
arrived at work at 10 AM - earliest I had been to work in a long time
by noon, I was spent. Realized that I had a therapist appt at 3
got home at 12:30, slept until 2:15, awake by alarm
I had eaten my alloted calories already, but was hungry
bought a fast food burger on the way to therapist, no fries, no sauce

Mon nite - Tues Morn
Got back to work by 4:30 PM, worked until 7 PM
I was much more awake this time, and got a lot done
I was exhausted
Got home at 7:30, emptied pockets, off shoes, nap on bed
slept until 9 pM, played W101 until midnight
prepd for bed (meds and all), then surfed web to see pretty meditative fotos
fell asleep at 2 AM, partially awoke at noon, awake but tired
decided to sleep more, slept until 2 PM
woke up without alarm feeling great - wide awake
decided to use mood light anyway for 45 minutes to make sure

I arrived at work at 3:30PM. I stated until 10:30.
I had plenty of energy and stamina, and I was wide awake.
(The reason for this was because I ate a sugary treat)
I felt like I could continue to work for several hours,
but my eyes were starting to burn from sweat,
and I have a mtg at noon the next day.

Tues nite - Wed Morn:

I had hoped to be asleep by midnight.
I watched an episode of Fringe - it was great.
I forgot to fill the pillbox earlier, and there were other things that had to be done so I could go to sleep. I played boggle online, and was surprised at how well my mind was working. Normally, the first game gets an excellnet score, but by the 4th game, the scores were average. My scores kept getting better, so I decided to do something else.I then watched silly videos and picture on stumble upon until I felt tired.

I laid down at 1 AM. I stayed in bed for 2 hours, wide awake. It was not like I was thinking about things, or worrying. As I noticed something uncomfortable in my body, I made changes to accommodate it.

I got up and took another dosage of seroquel, and at a thawed package of mixed vegetables. They tasted great. I did some reading in a pamphlet about doing fasting cleanses for the body. Ha d to stop after 7 pages because I started to forget what I was reading as soon as i finished reading it. So I went to W101 to harvest Black Lotus flowers on the planet of MooShu. I need then to complete the final crafting quest, so I can be awarded the title of GrandMaster Artison.

WED MORN

I finally fell asleep at 4 AM. I awoke to alarm to prepare for a work phone meeting I have at noon. I feel a little rested, but could go back to sleep easily. My plan is to use the light therapy for a full 45 minutes or more, then go to work. I will stay as long as I can, the come home and sleep more.

Meeting was canceled. I changed my mind and laid back down to sleep. Slept to 5:30 PM. It is too late to go to work - I could, but I need to stop this cycle. This last sleep period, I slept with the spinal stimulator still turned on. I usually turn it off because the tingling sensation keeps me awake. I feel awake, a little weary - not sleepy, but no energy. All I have eaten today is a grapefruit and 3 grams of Spirulina. I do not feel hungry now, but I have some craving for sweets. I am going to resist.
