Did I ever do the intro thing?

OMG Ambien. It was the first thing my doc gave me for sleep and it's the freakiest stuff. The first few nights I took it as I was laying down but then it took about 20 minutes to kick in so I started taking it about 20 minutes before I actually went to bed. I didn't do weird stuff, but all of the inanimate objects in my house did! I have a shelf of elephants (that I've been collecting all my life) they started dancing in unison. My shoes were moving around. At one point my desk stopped being solid and I could put my hand through it. I was kinda cool but then one night the walls started closing in on me, literally the ceiling was about a foot above my face when I layed down, I haven't taken any sense.

I tried Trazadone and it seemed to work well but the light sensitivity the next day made it really hard.

Now that I don't have to do the 9-5 thing, I've switched back around to what feels more normal to me and I think I sleep better. Usually that means I fall asleep between 2 and 3 a.m. and get up between 10 and 11 a.m. Out of that I think I get a good 5-6 hours of deep sleep.

We dug out the treadmill a few weeks ago and I notice I do sleep better on the days I actually use it. I find 10-15 minutes reduces the flare risk and helps me sleep ok but I have to do it earlier in the day, not in the evenings.
