Dan, I was just the opposite. I slept all of the time until I received my

diagnosis of Major Affective Disorder. (depression). I now sleep an amount of

time that is normal for me. It is just the time of my sleep that is still

abnormal. I spent many years trying to adjust to " normal " peoples hours and I

can't. I am just a born farmer. Asleep by 8 or 9, up by 3 or 4 or even two.

That

is me and will never be anyone else, so there, Normal people.

When I was rested and could function, I functioned

four times the amount others had to because I always had to make up for the

times I was not functioning or exhausted from fatigue

I guess I'm just one of these people that needs my sleep. Give me about 10 hrs

and I'm a happy camper. I was even that way as a kid so being fat or thin it

never really mattered. I've also been a late nighter, but now going to sleep at

10 and getting up at 10 is wonderful (then again, I'm finished with school until

Sept and am unemployed which helps). But get me on a computer and I'm here all

day long (I just wish that I was like Jacque and have my DH on another computer

to email him I need a protein.....he he)

Re: Sleep

I had an awful time sleeping the first two years post-op. I heard

somewhere that it was due to the rapid weight loss and metabolism being

screwed up. Whatever it was, it sucked. Still have problems sleeping

through the night. Have always been a night owl, but even going to bed

really late, 1-2 a.m., I get 2-3 hours then am up for the rest of the

night. Doc gave me a prescription for Ambien and I take it once or twice

a month to " catch-up " and always feel much better in the morning.

However, can definitely say my sleep pattern since wls has been

completely altered. Thank God I don't require a lot of sleep to begin

with. My friends tell me that they would go nuts if they only had 3-4

hours of sleep a night. Then they wonder why I'm so wacky. lol

Which is exactly WHY I use a sleep mask and ear plugs. The least little

noise or light will have me awake and miserable. God help me if I think

about something that REALLY needs to be done in the middle of the

night....even if it is something that CAN'T be done right then. The sad

thing is....by morning...I am usually so tired that I forget to do what kept

me awake all night...then it starts all over again. At some point I really

start panicking....that is why the meds. They have helped so much.

Sigh. That'd be me. I'm answering email. But worse, I'm still answering it

AFTER I am asleep. When I get up to visit the facility, I'm still writing

answers. Sometimes I have go do it so I can get back to sleep.

I have no brain off switch at night and no brain ON switch in the morning

Glad the Ambien works for you. They gave it to me in the sleep lab

but,,,,alas,,,,three hours later,,,,BINGO,,,,awake,,,,nothing

worked,,,,absolutely nothing,,,,,for me except me finding an old

prescription I had had for a year or two before surgery. I tried .25g of

Xanax along with Tylenol PM,,,,,bingo,,,,,,blessed sleep for sometimes seven

hours even. No drug hangover,,,,,no sluggishness,,,,,etc. That worked so

good my PCP and I sat down and decided one day to try an anti-anxiety drug

on a daily basis to help me address lifelong inclinations to make really bad

decisons when on the downslides I get,,,,NO GOOD,,,,I was on Buspar and in

bed,,,,,,:-( I felt like I was walking in ankle deep sand constantly. So

fortunately I seem to have found what works for me as of now. The sleep

prob, however, led me to a series of health devasting behaviors and habits

in trying to cope with it, and some of those are still around. The only

thing I can see clearly now in retrospect is some oder in the chicken and

egg priority determinations.

Thanks for the tip, Marjie. I don't plan on seeing my doc in the next few

weeks, but I will definitely mention this next time.

My doc gave me a scrip

for Ambien, too, but my problem is not falling asleep, it's staying

asleep. With the Ambien, I'm good for 4 hours, then wide awake. I

find Tylenol PM works better for me. At least sometimes, it helps me

fall back asleep...not so with Ambien.

Recently have a lot of stuff going on here and needed some sleep help. Called

my doc and he was ready to give me Ambien. We have no health insurance at the

moment (8/1 can't come fast enough) and when I called the pharmacy they said

that the Ambien would be $95 (for 30 freaking pills!). Doc called in a

replacement of Restoril and it is working beautifully. It has a 6 - 8 hour

capacity so I don't wake up groggy but get a full nights sleep.
