Hi, April. I just found myself here!. I am quarantined because I have a wound that is infected, am on an antibiotic, wound needs now to be uncovered during the day and covered only when in bed.(Grammarly is telling me that needs should not have an S!) Geez, who can you trust? My vaccinated grandson has covid. The sky is falling! I cannot have a glass of wine while on this drug. Attica, Attica. You are probably too young to know what that means. Ah, the innocence of youth. Thank you for moderating. Margaret

 Margaret, this has been quite the holiday, between our health issues and the overarching menace of COVID-19... My vaccinated daughter is waiting to hear back on tests as she has been exposed (by her vaccinated roommate) and is now having symptoms herself. My other vaccinated daughter was also exposed right before Christmas; because she's also traveling, that girl has taken more tests than I can count in the last 10 days. What a nightmare. The sky did seem to fall a little for me last week, as well... it didn't help that my neighbors' ultrabright holiday lights (which illuminate my bedroom like headlights) did not shut off properly because the timer was frozen. No sleep for me!!!! Anyway, all this to say that you are not alone in your misery! ~Tamara, community advocate PS: Attica, Attica is from Dog Day Afternoon! LOL

I wrote what I thought was a long comment. Did I lose it?

I hope there is a distindtion beyween insomnia and sleep delay syndrome , circadian rythym and non 24. They ate not insomnia.I was studied at the of MD. abd was told I did not have insomnia and was told what was then called phase lag was what I had. I then was studied for months at The National Instuites of Health and was paid to be in both studies.

 <inline-mention username="margaret" user-id="4129787"/> Thank you for answering and sharing your experience with the community! I am glad you have been able to strike upon the right mix of meds and techniques that bring you some relief. I completely understand the unpredictability of schedules. It's so difficult to plan when you aren't sure how much, if any, sleep you will have had the night before. I hear you on the Ambien! I have known more than a few people who have told some really frightening tales about their nightly escapades while taking it! I hope you are doing well and staying safe!
