This happens.

My sleep cycle is all kinds of horrid for the last month, and it was never too healthy to begin with. Changed medication but this time took second opinion because holy shit it's like the goal went from getting me out of languid stupor though making sure I feel fine and energized to assuring I feel constant discomfort. All those tiny annoyances, from yawning and dry mouth to faux-alertness and impaired reflexes, won't make me stop medicating, but come the fuck on, I still don't get why it had to be changed in May despite multiple pleas for explanation. From that point, it's been progressively worse for no apparent reason. Hopefully, I'll get to go back to old meds, because the way I feel right now I could use either sedatives for uninterrupted chunk of sleep or meth for exhausting me into collapse. Either's fine. If this will continue, not my state but poor communication, I'll simply change a doctor to someone whose only mode of conversation isn't "ETHOS, BITCH!"

Still, I'm moving steadily on with my work, so that's something. Adviser told me to start drafting some of the stuff that's unlikely to change, so everyone's standard chapters 1-3 (intro, theoretical basis, research motivation). The others are now a background noise.
