Changed My Medication Dosing

I was in my bed for about nine hours, but I woke up every two hours... so I'm not sure how much sleep I got. I felt a little wired. I've had the exhaustion hit a few times this morning, while I was at church, but then it goes away. Right now I'm having some difficulty focusing my eyes. Maybe I'll feel better after I eat lunch.

I wonder if this has anything to do with changing my medication dosing. I decided to try splitting my gabapentin into 300 mg in the morning and 300 mg in the evening. I started that yesterday. I'll give it a few days and see how it goes. The reason I did that is because I have such a rough time everyday in the afternoon--I'm tired and tingly and shaky, more so than in the morning. Overall. Not every day. Anyway, knowing that the half life of the drug is 5-7 hours, I thought I'd try splitting the dose so that I have some in me for the afternoon.

I do think that sleep is huge for me. And rest in general, even if it's just sitting around. That helps me gain some energy that I can use later. It's like I'm the hero in a video game, and the little power meter over my head keeps running out quickly.
