Phillipa, I can really relate to your feelings about sleep. I feel so frightened of the effects of not having enough sleep that I end up taking valerian and 5-HTP which helps me sleep but makes me sleep in late. I don't get to work till 11am (I work in a university so I can get away with that) but it makes me feel very guilty and abnormal that I get up so late. I wish I could change but when I don't have enough sleep my psychological problems are so much harder to deal with. So I can totally understand why you took the seroquel and Xanax. Maybe it is the fear of not having enough sleep that makes us take desperate action. Maybe we should accept that not having enough sleep is ok at times and our bodies will make us sleepy when we really need the rest.
I don't know if I am making any sense - I have had a couple of beers and I am feeling quite philosophical. Anyway please don't give yourself such a hard time. It really is understandable
