I hate how I can be dragging ass all day long, super exhausted, and then when it’s finally time to for some sweet slumber, I’m wide awake. Nothing is more frustrating than spending two hours in bed trying to fall asleep, knowing I only have five hours before I have to be up. Five hours of sleep has not EVER cut it for me, MS or no MS. On top of making a few necessary changes to my diet such as cutting back on caffeine and sugar, I am thinking of making an appointment to see if I should look into some drugs to help out here.
I have been doing a little reading on Provigil, and although I would seriously like to stretch myself as far as I can without the aid of any symptom therapies, I am afraid I'm reaching my breaking point. Of course if I'm taking Provigil to keep me more awake and alert in the daytime, then perhaps that will only perpetuate the issue with not sleeping well at night. So maybe I'll have to get myself some sleeping pills too. Ugh. The thought of being on any new drugs, when the "disease modifying" drug I'm on now is beginning to make me feel like an overemotional basket case, isn't too thrilling. Oh decisions, I suck at making them lately.
