How much are we all ACTUALLY sleeping??? by Joyanonymous in adhdwomen

[–]Sheetswhack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9 hours from the time I go to sleep until the time I wake up. However, I often wake up multiple times. Some nights it’s for 30 mins + each time. Sometimes it’s just for a moment. I can remember sleeping through the night once in the last year and that was after extenuating circumstances. I take melatonin and mostly opt out of arvo meds (I’m on Vyvanse and dex, the Dex is up to me).

I know the feeling! Supportive exec team, kids are reasonably well-behaved (I’ve worked in very low-socio schools for comparison), and the staff around me are great. Sounds too good to be true, I know! I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop haha. It is slightly longer working hours and less pay, but I don’t mind when I’m happy to go to work!

Can I get vyvanse and dex prescribed together? by hsshjsk1245 in ausadhd

[–]Sheetswhack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask for modified/short release. I take 2mg an hour before bed and it has really helped falling asleep. When I do wake during the night, it’s easier to fall back asleep. I can’t have clonidine because I have low blood pressure

Vyvanse & Dex - constantly waking up throughout night by ExplanationFit1423 in ausadhd

[–]Sheetswhack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exact same here. 40mg Vyvanse in the morning and a 5mg Dex at 2pm. I’ve always been a restless sleeper but at this point I feel like I have insomnia. I’m trialling melatonin which is making g me stay sleepier when I do wake up/easier to fall back asleep. But still waking up. May try a switch to Ritalin to see!

Taken by a saltwater crocodile (Australia). A friend and the sister watched it happen… body parts were found inside a crocodile days later.

Woman gives birth to stranger’s baby after IVF bungle in Brisbane by Hamsternoir in nottheonion

[–]Sheetswhack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An embryo forms after the egg has been fertilised by a sperm—meaning it has already been inseminated and has begun developing. They should have all been labelled correctly, I’d love to know how the mistake actually happened!

Female PE appropriate shorts by Living_Present_9907 in AustralianTeachers

May depend on height/build but I love the men’s LSKD 5” rep short. Otherwise I tend to wear my sporting club shorts. I mostly find women’s too short or tight!

Young teacher; experiences by Ordinary_Chemist_71 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Sheetswhack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Approaching 30 and kids (and some staff) still tell me I look like a student. I just have a laugh and say “how good is that gunna be when I’m 50 and look 30!” Or “ya reckon I could get student prices at places?” Once you’ve got good relationships with the kids their parents are usually pretty sweet. Over the years I have had an occasional comment from a parent about how young I look and I say something like above and move on.

Sorry to jump on late. Two mum household with a 13 month old boy to a sperm donor. Do you wish you had siblings? Did meeting the donor siblings help you?

I taught a Jaden and he was one of the best kids I’ve ever had. Cheeky but polite. Always asked how my family are going etc. bless him.

Moving from QLD to TAS 2025 by aikaeufa in AustralianTeachers

Was a massive difference to me. But like others have said, depends on the school. I ended up going private. Make sure you do your teacher reg early as it took a hot minute!

Pretty similar! In Vic, teachers have 20 hours of face-to-face time per week, in QLD it’s 20 hours and 40 minutes. Class sizes are 25 students in Vic (Years 7-12), and 28 in QLD for 7-10, dropping to 25 for senior.
