[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 314302, member: 1963"] Crazymama, Gryphon is a 90lb German Shepherd. He weighs half what I do and is considerably stronger than I am. He's literally DRAGGED me out of the bed a few times. Now, for the most part, he takes advantage of my over-vigilant startle reflex, sticks his nose in my ear (literally), and YAPS at the top of his lungs. It's a miracle I haven't had to peel my fingernails out of the ceiling, but it's come a bit close several times. I don't like the idea of taking a benzo on a regular basis, but I have taken Ativan in the past and didn't have problems discontinuing that. According to my psychiatrist, so long as you don't abuse the temazepam, you shouldn't have trouble D/Cing it beyond sleeplessness. I am hoping he is right. It's pretty funny as I've gotten to the point where I can take him out in my sleep. It's fine in the warm season, but I've woken up to find myself standing in the yard when it's 20 below...wearing nothing but a t-shirt and PJ bottoms. Also walked into a foot of snow in slippers once. Talk about a rude awakening. Sleep disturbances are taken into consideration when deciding disability cases for bipolar people. They can be a major cause of absenteeism from work and school. [/QUOTE]
