- Anxiety about going to bed and falling asleep. If I feel myself starting to drift off I wake myself up.
- Insomnia. Melatonin does not help. Ambien and benzos generally do, but I still wake up a lot.
- Waking up a lot during the night, generally from a dream.
- When waking up without an alarm clock, I generally wake up from a vivid dream
- Many dreams involve some sort of homicide, as if my dreams have a "murder mystery" theme to them. This is sometimes more common than others.
- Difficulty waking up to an alarm clock, even if I got enough sleep. I need to set my alarm an hour to hour and a half early, take adderall, reset my alarm, then go back to bed.
- Daytime drowsiness/sleepiness/Low energy/Low motivation/Lack of alertness.
- Strange sensation once in a while during the day, like I can't feel my limbs as well and feel out of it. This upsets me. I don't know if anxiety is the cause or the result.
- I don't like naps, and if I try to nap I generally don't make it past stage one.
