Arghhhh sorry to hear. What’s the solution? Is increasing meds inevitably necessary?

What happens when you run out then?

It’s only occasionally but yea I’ll take two of my XRs

4-5 hours a day and about 10 at night 🛌

Been there, done that - never ends well. I might be awake, but I won’t be productive.

For me, sleep is foundational. I’d rather skip meals, meetings, cleaning, etc. than not getting my 7.5 hours of shut-eye.
