To JR re: a.m. exercise.
I'm been on Lex (first time on AD) for about a month. I was on running program before and that is what kept me from falling apart before Lex(obsessive/compulsive running habit I could count on). I've always run first thing in the a.m. (6:00 a.m.) and continue to do so. Have only minimum daytime tiredness, and since I have always been an insomniac don't see much difference there except sometimes have to get up to go to the bathroom more often. Regular exercise helps all around I believe.
One more thing that has helped me deal with my insomnia - my mom always told me - "you sleep more than you actually think you do". I know that sometimes I dream I'm awake - so many times I don't worry about it if it's just a day or two and the anxiety of not sleeping passes and then I'll get a good night's sleep. Just another coping mechanism, but hey!
Also, had started to sleepwalk occasionally before Lex (would wake up in another room of the house -- freaky). No more of that since on meds.
