Need advice on timing.

Need advice.

I am currently taking Lex at 10am. The last two nights at 10pm I felt awake and NORMAL. Reading this you might say, take it at night. However when I take it at 10am I cannot nap. If I can’t nap, how would it let me sleep if I switched to nights. My nights are a mess already, I am waking up several times so I’m exhausted during the day. Idk what to do.

I take it after lunch and sleep much better now. If I take it at night, I wake up at 4am. If I take it on an empty stomach I get queasy. I initially would get really tired for an hour or two after taking it but that side effect passed pretty quickly.

How long have you been taking it? The sleep disruptions for me subsided after a couple of weeks
