It’s terribly hard to continually struggle with the need for excessive amounts of sleep. One day last week I thought I was coming out of this sleeping stupor, only to return to it in a few short days. I’m trying to remind myselves that God has a plan and purpose for all this extra sleep; and even though I don’t see the reasons they do exist.

We are thinking that we might do better if a particular psych med is reduced in dosage. Twice now I have taken a lower dose at night and had more alert days that followed. I don’t like to make changes in medication levels without a doctor’s approval, but I’ve been waiting all day for the psychiatrist to return my call and soon her office hours will be over for the day. Tomorrow is my final painting class and I missed the previous one so it’s very important to us to get to this class. I’m thinking that I should try to sleep a bit more before leaving to spend the evening with youngest son and his bride.
