The effect of decreasing my Trazdone is that I no longer am so groggy at 8, 9pm.I’m able to stay awake till 10 or later. I feel more energetic.
But my bedtime is still a problem. Yesterday was hot and I felt exhausted at 8pm. I gave up and went to bed at 8:30.
Nope, got up and watched one of The Geological Wonders of the world (courtesy The Great Courses) on Siwa, an oasis in the Sahara, which is bigger now than the U>S> and Alaska combined. It’s growing. Then I went to sleep.
So–I’ve added a couple of hours to my day and live them more like an ordinary person. When my daughter came to visit a few weeks ago, I stayed up till 10:30, then fell asleep fine. Is there a social life for me in the future?

I have stopped worrying about my sleep; sometimes I wake up around two. Two hours later I might go back to sleep or not. This life without having to get up to go to work makes sleeping or not sleeping irrelevant. I turn on the radio, listen to BBC, those British voices are soporific.
Thanks for the feedback. Your sleep is so common of older person’s sleep. As you say, what does it matter?
