I'm taking a very strong medication which seems to be keeping me awake at night. As a result I've turned night into day and day into night. I have a sleep-related illness anyway and am used to working at night, but only when I want. This is hard to take because now I can't even get to sleep in the daytime. My sleep has always been bad; now it's worse. Besides that, the medicine makes me see double at times and it causes vertigo so that I almost fall over at unexpected moments. But I have to stay on the medication until these side effects subside and it can do what its suposed to do at the dosage the docotor wants. I have a sleeping pill but its not too effective and I don't like to take them. Any ideas? Anything that you can suggest that will level off my sleep deprivation and give me time in the day to do projects and work that can only be done then. Most nights I'm too tired to do the work I could do then. Appreciate your suggestions.
