I am afraid of what I would do if I took a pill for sleeping (such as: otc sleep aids). I am so tired and get so little sleep. I pee every half hour all night long. I do take water pills because of swelling. I don't know if peeing all the time means your kidneys are working great of exactly what. I did go to a urologist and she said I never completely empty. She told me to use a catheter but didn't show me how to insert it and I have tried but I cannot do it. No one will show me and I looked online but that was futile. So, I cracked my head by zooming off the toilet in my sleep and went across the bathroom floor and hit my head (top) at a high speed. I sprinted because I sit in that position with my feet (heels up in the air). Cracked my spinous process in my neck at C4 level. Thank God I didn't have to have surgery. I am going on lack of sleep. I take so many pills for pain, my doctor is afraid to give me anything for sleep. Also, I have sleep apnea and can't wear the mask because of severely deviated septum. I don't think it was set high enough and one night I had it on and couldn't get enough air--ripped it off my face in my sleep and never put it on again. I know we all have issues and I am so afraid of doing something in my sleep like you did--drink something poisonous or something. I know I went to sleep standing up in the bathroom--started falling over forward and something hit my face--it was the shower curtain. It woke me up otherwise, head first into the tub. A while back, I was on paxil. I gained 50#. I told my doctor "yes, I am depressed but the pills make me fat and bald so which is worse!
