Thanks so much for the reply!
Actually I still sleep at night…usually around midnight to 5-6 am. But I can go back to sleep and, if I don’t force myself up…the next thing I know is it’s 11 am.

Hard to imagine getting too much sleep…that was a non-existent idea just 1 month ago.

Btw, I was on Clonazepam nightly for 1-2 years…I can’t even remember how long. My memory is shot. I can hardly concentrate/focus. Fatigued even after finally sleeping.
But I know these are symptoms of benzo withdrawal which can take months or longer to recover from.

I developed DSPD 4 years ago which I “fixed” using a lightbox and melatonin to reset my circadian rythym…it worked wonders btw for those with that issue.
But this time it hasn’t happened.

So I guess I need to try and establish a regular sleep/wake cycle…and exercise daily…and maybe I will return to normal.
I know it will probably take time…patience is hard to come by after the nightmare I’ve been through.
Thanks so much.
