hey, ranger, i sleep if i take med., not much if i don't. i usually only take the med. when i know for sure i'm not going to sleep.(flashbacks and si have already begun) or if i have something really important to do early. couple times a week, that lets me catch up some without getting dependent. i usually sleep a couple hrs a night, wake up, get up and do something til i am exhausted, pass our for a couple more, if i'm lucky. somehow i went months without sleeping earlier, til i absolutely felt like i was not asleep as much as in some kind of trance (my body couldn't move, but my mind was still poking at me.) it does get some better with time. hang in there.
