Effexor XR AND sleep!

UP with Effexor, DOWN with sleep meds - otherwise the Effexor is just like the Energizer Bunny, it keeps going and going. You're body needs sleep! At least 8 hours every night. But do check to see if you need to adjust the dosage!

It's hard for me to tell how much insomnia is the effexor, and how much is just me, I am so NOT a 90-5 person but I'm stuck in a 9-5 world.. so some of the insomnia is purely me being ready to function at what is for me a "normal" time because when daylight comes it feels like evening to me and I'm ready for sleep around 10 am instead of 10 pm.
