It seems easier for me to get enough sleep right now, but that's because I'm always exhausted. :-) I think it's one of the reasons though that I haven't gone into any huge manic or depressive episodes. I have to eat very healthy and regularly because of the diabetes. And I am tired enough at the end of the day that I'm not tempted to be up all night. I was thinking back with my husband on when I was first diagnosed last year. In just a year's time I have come such a long way and learned so much about myself and my limits. It seemed so much to handle, this huge mountain and I didn't know what to do with it. But being willing to learn as much as I can has been a big help with trying to stay off my meds during this time. And I refuse to feel like a failure if I need them after having the baby, hormones can do wicked things! :-) What’s sad about sleep is that you never really can catch up on it.
