Week 1

I am pleased to report that my first week using Belsomra has been an amazing success! I have not had a single sleepless night! Not ONE. 

My mood has been up, I'm getting more done at work, I've been getting more done in my personal life. 

Hell, I've been watching James Bond movies every single night. By my calculations, I've gotten 2 hours of my life back every night, and I've gotten 75% of my life back during the day, since I'm not tired.

My routine is this:

Do whatever I'd like up until 9:30. 

Take my 10mg Belsomra.

Lay down by 10:00

Wake up by 6:45.

I have been feeling much sleepier at night before bed. I'ts almost as if my mind and body are anticipating that we are about to get some great sleep.

I've also been spontaneously waking up minutes before my alarm goes off.

Dreams have been fairly normal. I wouldn't say vivid, but I would say I dream a decent amount.

"I'll have what he ordered, please."

I can feel a little morning residual, but it passes within the hour and it is just a sleepy feeling. My driving is fine, I'm able to perform my job very well, and my focus is a lot better than on mornings in the past in which I did not sleep well.

I'm very VERY satisfied.

Now, I have been having at least 1 nocturnal awakening, usually to urinate, but my fluid output is very very low at these times. I just lay back down and go right back to sleep. I feel no catecholamine rush like I used to feel at these times. 

Admittedly, I have been behind on documentation, so expect my week 2 experience sometime this weekend! I hope this Blog has helped you. Please leave your comments below and share your experiences with us!
