        Your sleep pattern is almost identical to mine for the past 5-6 years.  I to find that is I stay
        on my feet and keep moving and fight it this very brief period passes very quickly usually
        with in 10-20 minutes.  Then I am wide awake.  This can really be a problem when it
        happens early on in the evening, because then I am awake for almost the entire evening.
        One thing about it is I get a lot things accomplished when everyone is sleeping.  There has been
        many nights that I have gone without any sleep at and I feel fine the next day.  On these nights
        my girls will get up the next morning, and see allot things done, and they will say
         "you pulled a No Sleeper" again huh Mom!!!
         ( # 7 of My 10 Reason's why it is Good to PD: WE GET A LOT ACCOMPLISHED IN THE MIDDLE
        OF THE NIGHT WHEN EVERYONE IS SLEEPING!)  BUT THEN # 9  is :WE HAVE GONE FULL CIRCLE,
        WE CAN AGAIN TAKE NAPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY LIKE WHEN WE WERE BABIES AND WE
        DON'T NEED AND EXCUSE.   ------We all need to hold onto out sense of humor.  I to miss the dreams, but
        my girls don't hesitate to tell me all about theirs.  Not near as exciting but it will have to do.

Elizabeth,
The drowsiness problem is limited to only a very brief period in the
medication cycle.  The sleep.....although impossible to avoid (unless I am on
my feet) is for only a very brief period.   If I were to lie down to take a
nap, I would be unable to sleep only 10 minutes prior to this onset of
drowsiness.  Once this period passes, I am back to no sleep again.

I sleep less than six hours per night......frequently less than four hours
and this has been the case for the past three years at least.....the
drowsiness is probably only the last 2 years......they definitely did not
start at the same time.

Barb:  I don't recall having a dream since I started on eldepryl which must
have been in 1991.....you are right, I miss them also....some of my most
creative thoughts were given first exposure in my dreams.

Rita
