Does your sleep vary though with your mood? When I'm depressed I can sleep for long hours, 9-11 at night, still feel tired and doze throughout the day. When I'm elevated I sleep with 3-5 hours, sometimes I feel tired, mostly overtired. My usual sleep, when I'm baseline is about 8.5. When that is consistant, I know I'm Ok. I don't feel tired and sluggish and its not a struggle to get out of bed. Of course, occasionally, even people with BP can feel like lying in for no apparent reason! Everyone does it! So perhaps you need to explore how you're feeling. To make sure its not a symptom. Otherwise, plan your day the day before, any walks, meetings with friends, shopping, etc. It might help you better if you have a purpose. Good luck! |

I too sleep long hours, about 12 hours approx, I foind it hard to wake up in the morning and would just sleep through an alarm if I set it. I would love to have a regular sleeping pattern. My tabs made me tired the first few days like really tired but Im mostly tired as it is. I would like some sorta med to wake me up in the morning.  Medications for June 2010

I too, on a normal night, will sleep 10-12 hours. When I'm stressed or depressed, the pattern may be disturbed, but I still seem to need at least 10 hours. Even after I started taking my BP meds... Sometimes if I only get 8 or 9 hours I'm still fine, but when I'm depressed/upset/stressed/triggered that's just way too little for me. |

I have slept as much as 20 hours a night, so if 10 or 12 is what you need to function, then at least you have 14 or 12 hours that you are awake and can get things done. Don't worry if you sleep more than other people. If you still can't accomplish anything, then you probably need a better treatment plan. K  Medications for June 2010

Even I find it hard to sleep more than 8hrs a day at first. I suffered sleeping problems but with the right attitude, self discipline, meds that my doctor gave me, I manage to have my regular sleeping. I think for those who are suffering sleeping problems, it is best to really consult your doctor about it and learn to self discipline. Its really hard to have sleeping problems so better go see your doctor to prevent you sleeping problem go worst.
