Debra, I too have a similar sleep pattern. I readily fall asleep for 45 minutes to 90 minutes. I then take 2 -100mg Trazadone tablets and will sleep another 1 to 2 hours. Every other night I then take an Abein tablet and will sleep between 1 to 2 more hours. If I'm lucky on these nights I sleep between 4 to 5 hours . The Trazadone takes about 30 minutes to take effect so I find it a good time to check my E-mail or the internet. I find it difficult to read because I keep nodding off momentarily but get little decent sleep. Anyway the coffee tastes good at 3 am. My wife is an early riser and the coffee is ready but not always fresh. Hope you sleep better, but if not you are in good company.

Is this a crazy disease or what? I take meds all day that make me sleepy. I often feel like a Pepsi that someone shook up and popped the top on. I have no trouble getting to sleep but staying asleep is another story. Sometimes I lay awake and fight to get back to sleep, sometimes I just get up. A Quiet Time takes on a whole new meaning at 2am!! Eventually sleep comes again and then the sun comes up, I'm tired from not sleeping, and then I take my meds that make me more sleepy and the cycle starts again. If I could find a nearby mall that was open all night that would be great. But then there's that driving issue! Oh Well.... Sound familiar anyone?
