Finally took sleep med. Slept almost 10 hours. I need balance!

Last night I was lying in bed watching videos of how to start walking after ankle surgery. I wasn’t even a little sleepy at 11 pm so I decided to take my Doxepin. I quit watching videos and started listening to an audio book with the sleep timer on. A while later, maybe 30 minutes, I was really dizzy and felt like I was falling. I looked at my watch to see what time it was and the screen was moving like the old tv’s used to do when they weren’t tuned properly. Then I looked at the dresser and it was moving too, so I knew it was vertigo. I woke up hubs and made him hold on to me so I wouldn’t feel like I was falling.
I still feel vaguely light headed but the room is not spinning so that’s good.

That sounds unpleasant. My mom gets periodic bouts of vertigo (BPPV). She swears by the Epley Maneuver.

I used to get vertigo from time to time, but sitting or lying down made it stop. I’ve never had it while lying down.
No sure if it’s related to the med but I have an appt with the sleep dr this afternoon.

Let’s see if I can sleep straight through instead of waking in the middle of the night with a sense of impending doom.

I couldn’t! Woke up almost two hours ago. Will probably fall asleep right before it’s time to get up.

I tried to finish off my factorio game last night and instead was haunted by ghosts of conveyor belts.
Didn’t realize it was Halloween or I would have planned better.

I’m not quite sure why I’m nowhere near falling asleep. I didn’t have coffee too late. My mind isn’t racing over anything. But here I am.
