Sleep/medication

Hi, 

I don't particularly sleep very well and it's just getting worse. Currently I'm taking 50mg fast release Quetiapine as all else has failed. I hate talking it as it just makes me constantly tired.

Does anyone have any other suggestions as everything from "sleep hygiene" to sleep medication does absolutely nothing?

I fall asleep but don't stay there very long.

  • The best sleep I have is when I

    • swim 4 - 6 times a week
    • cut out all carbs, except those that come naturally in veg and fruit
    • cut out all processed food
    • only have alcohol once a week
    • have a balance between socialising and alone time
    • regular sleep routine, bed time, alarm etc.

    At the moment my sleep is poor but I am not swimming and am back on the carbs. My current challenge is getting to sleep, it takes hours, and I just doze all night.
