3rd Zyprexa Update - Feeling Poor

September 24, 2026··
Feeling poor. Been having bouts of moderate insomnia, mild fatigue, mild difficulty concentrating and slight dizziness. Overall much the same except Tuesday night had a particularly rough sleep which has heightened the tiredness. Seems I might be having paradoxical insomnia, because part way in the night I'll realise I'm awake without remembering waking up from a sleep which makes me wonder if I'd been awake all that time. At the same time it never feels like a long time awake and I don't get out of bed super tired, so there's definitely a fairly decent sleep going on, but still a bit rough. I have new strategies for sleeping so I'll see how they go.
