I do sometimes and I blame it on the baclofen.  I didn't take it
for about 3 years and I was getting up at 5:30am and going to bed
at 1 or 2am and always had plenty of pep.  Well, the spasms got the
best of me and I started back on the baclofen at 10mg twice a day
and guess what?  Some days I'm ok and some days it's all I can do
to get into the house and lay my head on the table after work.
The next thing I know it's midnight and my mom is mad because
she couldn't wake me up for supper and I'm hungry!  Don't know
why it happens some days and not others but I'm satisfied it's
the meds.
