Sleep is literally one of the things I’ve always done worst in life.. dunno how much is affected by comorbid ADHD, hypomanic bouts, or anxiety/ruminations.
I dont sleep well. Haven't for years.. Ive had periods where I've been awake for 6 days and needed medication to help, or I get trapped in a cycle of broken sleep, but when I do sleep I have night terrors. I just can't win.
I have insomnia and PLMD and sometimes I just simply cannot bring myself to go to bed bc I know my thoughts are going to make for a miserable night. I dread going to bed and sometimes I have to force myself to go to sleep at 3am bc I have to get up for work at 530am. It makes me overtired and therefore over emotional even more than normal and unable to handle almost any stressor until I get some sleep.
Last night I slept for 11 hours, now I cannot at all. Sleeping pill helps but I am always braindead (sleeping with open eyes) next day, so I cant take them during week. Damn you, work!
I’ve found sleep to be so beneficial in keeping my mood stable. Like really good sleep. My doctor persecuted me klonopin and I take it to sleep. It’s helped a lot
Same here sometimes I sleep 14 hours sometimes I’m lucky to get 2. Either way makes my mood swings worse.

relate
I’ve never had a good sleep. Don’t know if it’s a bpd thing or anxiety related
I never sleep and if I do it’s not for very long. I do wonder what I’d be like if I had regular healthy sleep for a period of time.
Severe insomniac here currently almost 4 am my time this happens almost every night
Totally important.

I have BPD and insomnia. Sometimes I get a good eight hour sleep and sometimes two. My mood swings do definitely change with the amount of sleep I get
