Sleep/medication

Hergé

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.

    One bit of advice I found during post diagnosis education sessions....

    Only ever sleep in bed (with only one obvious other exception) . Don't watch TV in bed, don't read in bed, if you are in bed for more than twenty minutes and are awake , get up. Even if that's at night before sleeping or in the morning after sleep.

    It sounds like good advice to me but I'm bad at following it!

    I find I am very easily woken during the night too.
