Dex will do that to you, Fair Lady! Effects of dex range from sleepiness, wakefullness, and the whole range on “inbetweens”…strange effects varying with the person. When I was on the HD cytoxan/Dex (pulsed dex, 20mg for 4 days, then 7 days off), 3 to 4 hours sleep was enough, during the “on” phase. And I’m a “solid eight” person. Happily, I did not have any of the other famous dex side effects, i.e. hyper-activity, personality changes, etc. I stayed my normal, boring self.
Here’s hoping you get a “good nite”

It used to happen to me on dex and it still does. I always find it best to “go with the flow”. Watch television or read a book. Sooner or later, usually after a couple of nights, the body will tell you to sleep and you won’t be able to stop it. I have found that trying to force myself to sleep when this happens only makes things much worse. Trite, I know, but it works for me.
