Not just tired
Despite taking extra salt and Provigil, I have suffered from excessive sleepiness all day. I have fallen asleep multiple times, just briefly, while upright. I also have had temporary paralysis. I can't stop yawning and my eyes keep tearing. I am profoundly tired, but not actually asleep. I feel like if I could fall asleep, I may finally feel rested. I may not be getting recuperative sleep during the night. I may be in a semi-conscious spell, but salt hasn't helped. I'm in such a haze. Maybe my next doses of meds will help. Maybe exhaustion is setting in due to overdoing it due to hypomania this past week. Good night.
