Made it to 3:30. I wish there were healthy ways interventions or complete ways to resolve this deprivation. The numbers of people being reported having this is mind boggling. Life Stresses, chemical imbalances, and organ impairments, dietary choices, light pollution, noise pollution, ……🥲

Last night was awful but I feel OKish. Went to bed at about 11.30pm and woke up just after 1am, then 5am, then 6am, couldn't really get back to sleep at all. But it felt more like normal insomnia, I was able to push back the dread and anxiety a little. Managed to lie awake until just before 9, so was at least resting a little.
Very strange yet somewhat interesting dreams last night. But one cool part was that I saw what looked like a sparkly cloud-like sunstance coming down from the sky and I thought in my dream that it was the presence of God. So that was pretty awesome. But there were also some really weird parts and frightening parts of the dreams too.
I think I slept. I remember dreaming a few times, and woke up at just gone 5am, but then went back to sleep for a few hours. Could have done with longer but it's probably the best night of sleep in quite some time. Still woke up anxious once my problems came back into consciousness but fought it off a little. Heart rate was high for first part of night, shot up about 2am and then dropped steadily and got under 60bpm for a spell or two, which hasn't been the case for a few nights now. Hopefully I will feel the benefits when I've shrugged off the sleep chemicals and ingested enough coffee.
Went to bed expecting I'd get some decent sleep again, but was awake at 3am, then 5am then 6am, heart rate was "sleepy slow" for the first part of the night, getting under 60, but rest of it was up and down all night. Did have one very vivid dream so I at least seemed to get some sleep. Woke up with anxiety again, which I'm getting fed up with now.
Had another bad night, though did get some sleep. Went to bed 11.30pm, was still clock watching at 1.30am and had to take extra meds again to knock myself out. Had a few hours of low heart rate during the night which indicates some sleep, but from 6am it's up and down like a yoyo. Tried to lie still and go back to sleep as I'm working late today, but was stuck on the edge so eventually conceded defeat and just got up.
well, the good news is I am sleeping, the bad news is, its at weird times
for example, I slept between 4pm and 6 pm then back to bed at 8pm til 1:15 am which is (I think lol) 7ish hours
I suppose I should be grateful for any sleep at all, but its mildly distressing that half my life awake is spent in the middle of the night.
