I kinda wonder if my lack of sleep is to blame for my mood? I just can't stay asleep for very long as of late. Even with my CPAP machine, I can only manage 4 hours or so before I wake up again. I dunno why, but it takes me a long time to wanna go back to sleep after waking up, too. So I just sorta sit there dazed for a while in the middle of the night.

When did you get your CPAP machine? I got mine back in November, and it took a good three months before I really started to get a good night's sleep with it. But now, it's doing a lot to help me sleep.
Oh, I've had mine for years now. It does its job well enough when I use it. I sometimes fall asleep without it though, and I wake up not feeling reted. But even with it on I still wake up after a little while. I can't recall the last time I fell asleep for longer than maybe 5 or 6 hours.
Ever tried melatonin? I used to take it before having a kid and it knocked me out for 7-8 hours
This is what I used to take, it would make me fall asleep within an hour of taking it,like "I can't keep my eyes open anymore" asleep. I stopped using it because with a toddler around there was the possibility of having to be awake and reactive at every hour of the night and this would make it effectively impossible. I'm sure it would give diminishing returns with time but I didn't get to that point. It's an over-the-counter medication here but of you take other meds you should be cautious and yadda yadda.
(i don't get why they called it zzzquil, we don't have nyquil here so you can't piggyback off that name)
Ohh, that could work! I've heard of ZZZQuil, but I didn't know it came in gummy form, too. Thanks!
If you drink a lot of caffeine or caffeine past like noon that could be affecting your sleep. I was having similar issues a bit back and I found that cutting off caffeine at around noon (no later than 2pm) really helped a lot with this.
Oh, that could be it! I drink egregious amounts of tea at night, some of which have caffeine. But I don't know which ones because some of them are unlabelled ^^;.
Please keep in mind that tea contains theine, which is basically caffeine (well not really but it's very similar)
