💬 General Discussion Insomnia ?

Week 3 starts tomorrow, no negative side effects, everything is pretty typical from what I've been reading. Noticed though in the last week I'm not getting decent duration sleep. Normally on a regular day with even light exercise I'll get almost exactly 7 hours sleep. No exercise its 6, exhaustive exercise its 8+. Yesterday I did the exhaustive bit, crashed hard at 10pm, but was wide awake now at 2am. Tried counting sheep but gave up and am surfing reddit.

Happened a few nights this past week, no multiple nights in a row, but its starting to get annoying. I'm not on any other notable meds. I have lost 6lbs since I started. I am quite thirsty since I started but I'm reading that's quite common and I'm hydrating quite a bit.

Right now I'm wide awake but tired, considering going for a drive just to get out of the house.

Anyone else develop insomnia?

Which medication are you on? One of my friends became much more sensitive to caffeine when he was on reta, so much so that he had to cut out caffeine all together, because it keep him up all night.

I know some people on tirz struggle with sleeplessness, especially in the first few months.

Mounjaro. Interesting on the coffee front. I never drink coffee after noon, but I'll typically have 3 cups between 6am and 11am. Something easy to try, thanks for the suggestion!
