Somebody (me) was up at stupid o'clock researching: does dexamethasone mess up sleep?
Yes it does, big time. "Changes in sleep architecture" is a fekkin understatement.
Anyway accidentally came across one of the best articles on sleep hygiene and body rhythms I'd seen in ages, so here ya go:

I'd like to add my own lil coping epiphany if it helps anybody else:
I've been insanely stressed with really bad cognition preventing me from doing even simple mundane things, and definitely falling down on crucial fix my life stuff, so losing reliable sleep was pretty gutting.
But, if I let go of how I expect things should unfold, I find "changes in sleep architecture" also equals: unexpected periods of mental clarity and functioning (ie 5 frickin am).
So am rolling with that. It helps.
@vlrny Off-topic but if dexamethasone messed you up as badly as the poor woman in that AI illustration nobody would ever take it. Bespoke clothing, furniture, vehicles, and the shoe bill would astronomical.
