I sleep like a log, have all my life. After getting hit by a truck I was sleeping about twice as long, no problem falling asleep, just severe problem staying awake. Concerta 72 and Provigil 400 solved the staying awake problem, but I still slept at least 10 hours, 11 -14 if I did anything physical.
The amount of sleeping I did was interpreted as depression, but I didn't feel depressed. Effexor interrupted sleep and I bumbled through the day totally sleep deprived, absentminded and neurotic. Next tactic to be considered was to force me to wake up at the same time after 8 hours of sleep, that produced a 4 hour afternoon nap.
Now I am taking Lamictal and wake up after 8-9 hours feeling awake! I happily reported to my psychiatrist that I am finally efficiently sleeping. I didn't know just what a bad job I did of it that even quantity didn't cut it. My need for stimulants is decreasing too.
I know I have simple partial and complex partial seizures which were untreated. The electrical storms have quieted during the night with Lamictal, I now dream wonderful dreams and remember them when I wake up. I hope you will find a way to make your sleep of better quality.
