My worst sleep is while in the hospital on meds. 2008, I was on morphine and it did not put me to sleep. I sort of drowsed for two hours, then awake until the next bit of morphine. 2018, I was extremely jet-lagged and receiving 600 mgs. of prednisone a day. That was ... ... strange. Then, when discharge I was told 100 mgs per day per tablet. “Take as soon as you wake up because it will keep you awake.” Yes, it did.
Prednisone does keep one awake. I had clean cupboards and clean everything else thanks to it. But then I start looking like the Pillsbury dough boy after awhile.
Hi Jem. I’m not on prednisone or morphine. Just a combo of things. Strange. They make me very tired n sluggish. But sleep eludes. And in the next room is a light sleeper who gets up at 4 for work so I must keep very quiet. Would love to be puttering in kitchen or doing my beading - both noisy activities. Your medical history is crazy n there you are far away from the needed med help. Recall you going to Australia once for help
