Casey's Sleep Pattern Changed After "Disappearance"?

[Jolynna]

i find it sorta funny that when i was in the worse part of my depression i didn't sleep. it was only after i started getting help and was on meds that helped regulate the depression could i get any type of sleep. a good night sleep for me is 6 hours before if i got that much sleep in a week i was lucky. and i wasn't on drugs to keep me a wake. my mind just wouldn't shut down.

Me too.

Been there, athy. And it's so miserable! My mind just would not cut off! I would be extremely exhausted and it seemed even worse.
Of course I never had any urges to kill my children or hubby, or go out and drink, pick up guys and party like a rock star, did you?
So I guess we all fared pretty well, really!:crazy:

SHE bragged that nothing was wrong with her, but no official reports have come out and some close to the case suspect that her psych evaluation shows several abnormalities.

I believe Judge Strickland said something about her psych eval when they were early on in the case shuffling calendars and whatnot. It was an utterance caught on the audio. Something to the effect that he'd reviewed her psych eval and it was interesting. Of course, this is not exactly what he said, and I could look back and will to see if I can find the video. But I remember there was also a discussion about it on the board because people couldn't believe he'd said it.

Oh my have I been their.

My Sleep disorder was the result of a anxiety/panic disorder, I would fall into sleep habits for a few months or so I would not be able to get a full night's sleep. Tossing turning, that half sleep were you never fully fell asleep cause your mind is racing 1,0000 miles per hour. Then in a few months I would switch over and on the weekends I would log in 12 - 14 hours a night. I saw it as catch up eventually your body has to go down. Thank god for the right meds and this doesn't go on anymore. :woohoo:

Anyways on to KC I had a friend who suffered from horrible depression and their were times when though not sleeping she would stay in bed in a dark bedroom for hours on end. Just thought their was no reason to get up and face the world. However I just can't give KC credit for even giving a rat's a$$ about Caylee to have depression affect her.

I wonder does a manic disorder cause the same type of behavior. Going a thousands miles a minute then crashing hard??????:waitasec:

Anyway, I just watched Today.

I think that Casey sleeping in the night of June 16 is a no brainer. Tony didn't make it to school the next morning either.

Ahhhh young love ain't it sweet :bang: To bad she didn't have that kinda time for her daughter :chicken:






After 13 years of marriage "gitty-up" is forplay in my house!!!!!:crazy:
Oooopps did I type that out loud:crazy:

 

[~Lisa~]

KC's sleeping patterns per her cell usage was on the Today Show this morning....showing how leading up to Caylee's murder, KC was getting 3-4 hours a night and then afterwards, getting 10-12 hours a night!
They showed a spreadsheet type doc but I haven't found it in the latest doc dump!

Wow!
And I thought she was supposed to be looking for Zanny..

 

[nyvictoria]

Ted Bundy, in interviews, wasn't particularly concerned that people believed that he had massacred many women. He was *very* concerned that people thought he was crazy.

Blaise

I wouldn't doubt for a minute it would be KC's main concern, as well.

IMO, Casey isn't bi-polar or depressed.....some people just have different sleep patterns...some people use "black beauty's" (speed) or coke or whatever and sleep less. Just because people didn't actually "see" her do it, doesn't mean she didn't. I've known many people who use it all the time and I nearly fell on the floor when I found out. The same with heroin...not ALL people become a hot mess....AND she wasn't using heroin, IMO...nor did I imply she was (just coverin my butt). She also started smokin more pot...maybe she got a case of the "dozies" after the "munchies"...LOL And, she was living with TL....seems like when she's with a guy, she becomes "Suzy Homemaker"....no real time for all the other diversions. Like JG said...she'd change herself to suit who she's with.
Casey is just a pathological liar and a sociopath. We just have a snippet of her phone/text usage for a 2 month period. My guess is that this was "normal" behavior for her for a long time.
Again, JMO

Yes, debs, you're right, it was Bond who came up with that! We have awesome members, don't we! :wink:

Yeppers - I think BondJamesBond's analytical skills rock! :woohoo:

So glad to hear there's treatment that helps you to sleep. Sort of reminds me of what was said about Heath Ledger after he died, by his ex-gf, Michelle - she said he never slept, that his mind was always turning... Sad he didn't get help if he, too, was depressed...

 

[amysmom]

Someone determined from Casey's cell phone activity that she was only getting 4 hours or so of sleep before Caylee went missing. I don't know where the after info came from unless it was from her phone also.

Maybe from TL? She was living with him from right after Caylee was gone til she got busted by mom.

Does this happen to you during both the manic and depressive phases? I'm so glad that medication helps you with this! I don't think I could function well like that. It reminds me a little of the sleep patterns I had when my son was a baby, before he started sleeping through the night. I was pretty much a walking zombie for a few months!!

Yes that's exactly what it's like and for me, the birth of my first son (and the wake sleep disturbances), coupled with working at a fulltime job and pursuing a Master's on the weekend is what pushed me into bi-polar.

It is the hardest thing, because you cannot act normal without sleep and all your relationships are effected by it one way or another.

I was never the severe kind of bipolar, I have the kind that's mild, and I am very well controlled with meds.

I"m not sure if Casey has it or not, my suspicion is that she has multiple disorders: Bipolar, sociopathic, and pathological liar. Oh and, add theif and murderer and you get the picture: :behindbar

~ respectfully snipped ~

Yes, that is rather classic behavior for manic depression. Just as you stated: "Going a thousands miles a minute then crashing hard."

I dont think her sleep habits changed all that much, I just think her cell phone habits changed.

When she was living at home she was on the phone to TL all hours talking and texting, once she left home after 6/16 she was with him all the time, therefore no need to talk and text on the phone. He did say she used to like to stay up late talking so maybe she was still getting less sleep, it's just not evidenced by the cell acitivity.

 

[EgyptNug]

Many depressed people are "nocturnal", so not all depression manifests in a desire to sleep all the time. Also she may not have been sleeping more at AL's, just busy in bed with him or cleaning his house, or whatever. Plus since she didn't have to jump up to go to the fake job (like at home), she could bum around and not be in her car, on the phone. I certainly hope th defense doesn't try to paint this as her depressed after the murder, since if anything I think it shows she was carefree, relaxed, on vacation and living the bella vita.

same thing with me. when i am depressed or upset i can't sleep. insomnia kicks in and there's just no sleeping. now, when i'm really depressed i will lie in bed or on the couch all day/night... but i am not anywhere close to asleep.

i think the change in patterns proves that she was sleeping soundly and happily afterward.

sad.

Thanxs Star :blowkiss:, I have always felt in my mind that KC is a classic Manic personalty. My former boss at work was a classic manic up all hours of the night here in the office surfing and buying anything and everything he could off the internet, sleeping only 2 to 3 hours a night, constantly on the phone and dating services, making some of the poorest decisions I have ever seen. He only ever had two mood's 1,000 feet high or 1,000 feet low. Reminds me of KC's behavior.


***Mind you I am not saying that this disorder in no means means that she is insane and gets a get outta jail free card. Just her action really remind me of former boss.***

That's how I sleep (or don't sleep) without medication for bi polar.

It's how I sleep even when medicated. I take 3-4 hour naps, that's it. When not medicated I can stay awake for several nights straight, no need for my little 3-4 hour naps.

Yes, we often stay awake during a mania, that's "classic behavior" but there are also many other "classic" symptoms that she does not present with. Lack of sleep does not mean a person has Bipolar disorder. There are CRITERIA one must meet to have such a diagnosis and having 1 or 2 items on that list does not mean a person has Bipolar or that they show "classic symptoms" of it. I'm sorry but this whole blame everything on Bipolar thing is getting out of hand.. no wonder it's so over-diagnosed these days.. no wonder so much of society doubts the people with true Bipolar disorder.
