You know what sucks about all this? Sleep.

I wonder why others sleep so peacefully and I just wake up every hour on the hour.

I take 600mg Seroquel and 10mg zyprexa and I still can't sleep.

Doesn't make sense

I know anxiety can speed up your heart-rate which might have something to do with it.

Also I could be having involuntary muscle movements, but I doubt it.

The worst part is that it's a vicious cycle. No sleep equals worse depersonalization.

But more anxiety, which comes with dp, means less sleep. i can't seem to break out of it.

I'm just hoping that when I finally do get some sleep maybe it'll start receding a bit.

If anyone out there has any advice or a story to share. Feel free to respond or message me.

Thanx all!

Ask your doc if you can take over-the-counter stuff like Sominex. Some herbs can be very tranquil like chamomile and valerian root. I seem to sleep pretty good when I take Triple Blend Echinacea for some reason. It has three different species of echinacea in it. And supposedly echinacea has chemicals in it that act on our endocannabinoid system in the brain. So it can make you kinda relaxed. If you try it make sure it's "triple blend" with THREE different echinaceas in it. It usually comes in liquid form and a few drops may be enuff for you.

Also, I seem to have really weird dreams with dp/dr. They are so illogical...like I'm working in two different places at the same time and they moved the punch clock and I'm going to be late etc etc. I used to get those dreams when I was in school but now it's about my work experience. I can never have a nice, peacefull dream about something. It's always full of trouble and anxiety and nothing makes much sense. And when I wake up that sensation lasts with me for a couple minutes until I realize that my dream is over and I'm back in the real world. It sucks.

Can you go to the gym?

I used to have problems sleeping, but recently if I'm doing a full body workout 3x a week, I sleep like a log...

Train heavy if possible and it will help you sleep.
