Not sure if withdrawal or a new health problem. Anyone else feel obviously sedated? If I didn't live alone I'd be getting worried that someone was slipping me sleeping pills - it's that bad. This has been going on for a few weeks now and I'm really running out of patience with myself. I even fall asleep right after strong coffee. I'm not looking forward to work again in the new year. I can barely get up before 2pm despite setting 3 alarms. Despite that, I feel like a functioning human during the middle of the night. Currently I'm sort of nocturnal and my circadian cycle seems to have given up any pretense at being regular. Seems it's sleep time again now whether I want to or not.

@notaround- Hello. If you are still feeling like this after a couple of weeks I would definitely call your doctor. I also think that it can be dangerous especially living alone.
