Wow... lots of us waking up!

[Guest guest]

Hey - thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions - amazing that so many of us are waking up like this! I didn't wake up like this before I started - I'm on 3.0 mg but the new Rx is 4.5.

Here's a thought that came to me - if there's something about this getting into our system around 2-3 a.m., and we're waking UP about 2-3, does this adversely affect the ability to work right since didn't someone say we're supposed to be in a certain sleep STAGE then? Maybe I'm remembering that wrong(?).

With this many - I'd almost say this is a "side effect", huh? I usually can get back to sleep; usually don't even get up - just look at the clock and go "hum - here I'm awake again" and a few minutes later to a half hour, I'm asleep again, but it is annoying and I'm even less rested than normal. Also, I'm a VERY light sleeper, so getting back to sleep also depends upon the sounds.

You guys are so great - sure do appreciate all the help you all jump right in and give... and this is certainly something to look into more, for sure!
