At 0mg of anti-psychotic medication my eating and sleeping habits were sporadic. There was little consciousness of a need to maintain healthy habits and an inability to sleep more than 6 hours at a time along with an inability to fall back asleep.
At 5mg eating and sleeping habits entered my frame of reference and I felt a distinct responsibility to take care of myself
At 10mg I slept and ate the same amount as at 5mg, but worried constantly about my lack of ability to control my diet and sleeping habits.
At 15mg I always caught up on missed sleep and needed a full day's worth of food almost every day, at some point in the day. No more worries.
Starting 20mg and this is where the restlessness becomes a difficulty. I have an easier time playing with the limits of food and sleep but have a short tether for such play.
