I took a load of stuff last year because I was so short of sleep and getting 
very ill.  Depression set in and things got awful!  Anyway, then the 
medication started really not working too well and anyway one lot of 
medication obviously didn't really suit me and didn't suit the other either. 
I couldn't bear to start again so, with my doctor's agreement, I came off 
all meds.  Coming off the sleeper was awful and I went through bad 
withdrawal.  I've been off a number of weeks now and am beginning to sleep 
better, though still not well.  Finally I'm in the sleep clinic here and 
they're doing tests because I know I'm still not well.

Well, there we are - a lot of very happy little non-sleepers!  I am trying 
too with a pattern and a diary but by the next day can't even remember what 
I did or when . . ..  My memory recall etc is really bad right now though it 
probably has improved a little since coming off the medication.

Your continued prayers, as always, will be much appreciated.  God has 
control because I've discovered there's no other way.  I was able to come 
against the lies that told me I would just end up in a psyke ward for ever. 
God hasn't told me that and, unless He chooses this for me for some reason 
and it's clear that He permits it, I'm not thinking that way any more.  It's 
brought great strength to my heart so far as sleep is concerned.

I am not coping though with other issues, because of my physical situation 
probably, and Fabian's illness, pending holiday, anything I choose to do 
above just staying home and providing food etc., can so often be more than I 
can cope with.

I'm being good though.  I'm trying not to go to sleep in the daytime.
