Jenny definitely wants to sleep. In fact, she would like to sleep all the time day and night but that's because she's so depressed according to her tdoc. I've tried to tell her that going to bed at 5pm or even 6:30pm isn't a normal bedtime for a 14year old. That could be why she's having trouble sleeping. Logically she knows that even babies stay up later than that but she still feels she needs to be in bed sleeping. It's frustrating. She used to take melatonin before she was even dx'd with anything. It stopped working long before she started taking any meds. Now the geodon has flipped her into a nasty mixed state. Thank goodness she has an appt with the pdoc on Tuesday. But if things get too bad this weekend we may be making another trip to the ER.
