That was when I was taking Zyprexa at bedtime. Then I experimented with other times to see if tweeking it might make any difference. For me, I find that 5:00pm is just right, because it really doesn't start making me drowsy until about 8:00. And then I sleep a regular 8 hours instead of 10. I think everyone is different though, and that a little experimentation will help find what works best.
