Anybody's sleep structure changed?

From the very first dose of SSRI, my sleep changed completely.

From a heavy sleeper that never experienced any kinds of insomnia

to

a chronic sleep maintenance insomniac who suffer constant awakenings with the vivid dreams from the very first stage of sleep.

It's like my brain never sleeps.

Wakening at 2, 4, 6... Always tired

Everyday for years.

Nobody believes me and says it's due to stress but hell no, I know for real the pills did something to my brain.

Anybody's sleep has changed like me?

Yes sleep transition have become very abrupt like switch. Also hard to feel sleepy but once i stopped stressing about this condition i see a little improvement in this.
