I've tapered off a medication because of the side effects, but once again, I'm waking in the morning anxious and within a few hours I'm tired even though I had a full night of sleep.
This is nothing new as I was a straight-A college student before my sleep issues turned .me into mediocre student. I'm 57 today.
I've had classic PTSD symptoms in the past. Night terrors, sweats, etc. I also have sleep apnea, but the machine diagnostics show perfect breathing. In fact, the medication was giving me nocturnal central apnea; thus the motivation to quit it.
I do remember my dreams last night which was a mild frustration dream. No doubt it is related to buried childhood frustrations and/or an abusive ex.
Any leads or ideas for me? Everything I read is about anticipatory anxiety, but I live on a sailboat and it's Saturday, so that's hard to apply.
