Hi, Sar.
I have this problem. Actually, I have a love/hate relationship with the night in general. As a teenager, I snuck out constantly and just roamed the streets at night. It's so beautiful in Colorado right after it snows at night - it's almost as bright as daylight, but there's an heavenly reddish-gold glow to the sky.
If I hadn't been married so young, 21, I imagine I would have continued that.
So, I still get restless at night, as certainly seems to be the case with those of us with this BP II diagnosis, or whatever the hell is wrong with us. And I, too, use and have used alcohol to get to sleep. Sleeping pills only work one night in a row for me.
I don't know the answer. Seems like we should be happy to be up at night, writing poetry or something. Instead it becomes suffocating, and the threat of death really does set in.
- K.
