Okay so one of the many side affects that go along with having a mental disorder is Insomnia. Actually that's not true some people sleep all the time. Just depends, I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. Oh joy joy! I live my life by the almighty clock, tick tock...
When I am able to sleep it is usually for only 2-3 hours at a time. I'm up most of the night. I swear I'm like a vampire only I don't drink blood, just sprite. I have been on every sleeping pill known to man and none of them worked. I think I'm immune to all of them. Who knows...
In two weeks I go for what's called a "sleep study". We'll see what is going on in my head and the cause for my sleepless nights. It's also to check and see if I have sleep apnea. That's where you stop breathing in your sleep. My husband says I do that quite a bit. Pretty scary huh?

Hi Vanessa, just came across your blog in searching "bipolar". Welcome to blogland! Can't wait to read more about you. I'm a BP-er and have experienced insomnia or manic episodes in which I can't sleep. My husband was diagnosed with 3 times the level of SEVERE sleep apnea. The machine has done WONDERS!!!! Good luck!
