Dayvigo dosage: Two 5mg pills instead of one 10mg pill?

Taking Dayvigo: Is it medically okay to take two 5mg pills instead of one 10mg pill? I know the math adds up, I'm just asking if there's any pharmacological difference in how the body absorbs it.

Congative decline because of chronic insomnia

3 months ago I started having this problem where I would sleep for 3 hours straight and than the next hours of sleep are very chopped with a lot of awakings.

I'm feeling a huge congative decline.and I have so many questions on this that I don't know who will give ,me the right answers:

​

Does chronic insomnia causes permanent congative decline? If not,than how many nights of good sleep I need in order to reverse completely the current congative decline?

​

What I'm supposed to do at this situation? I'm 100% sure those awakings can't be controlled,should I just accept this congative decline or should I take meds that will decrease the current congative damage until I figure something out?

Is there any solution to many awakening?

I wake up around 7 times a night .

It was first caused because I wanted to start the day as early as possible because I had many work,but I also didn't want to start it when I hadn't slept enough. So my brain annoyingly started checking at every awakening if I'm feeling good enough to start the day.

I got over this annoying habit by saying to myself that if I wake up I will return immediately to sleep witout checking anything.

But the awakening are still happening.

Self-learning at university

I haven’t started the Electrical Engineering degree yet.

But I know about myself that I study better alone, and I also enjoy it more.

I also think that self-learning through recorded lectures (instead of attending live lectures) would lead to higher productivity and better quality studying — learning only what’s needed for the exam, not getting stuck on unnecessary material, spending extra time on what actually matters, studying only when I’m focused, etc.

So overall, I’m pretty sure all of this would lead to higher grades for me in the degree.

But my concern is the social aspect — that if I don’t attend lectures regularly, I won’t meet people or become part of a friend group that stays together throughout the degree.

I’m not really sure if that’s how it works though, so I’d be happy to hear thoughts about it.

Are academic studies (Electrical Engineering) possible with sleep problems?

I’m not looking for advice on how to improve my sleep. Trust me, I’ve tried everything and I’ve simply come to realize that my sleep will probably stay like this for life.

What I want to ask is whether it’s even worth starting an Electrical Engineering degree at a top university with these sleep issues. I already know it hurts my sharpness and concentration while studying, and I’m afraid it could get to a point where I simply won’t succeed in the degree or later at work, and I’ll end up dropping out after wasting a lot of time.

What especially scares me is that the degree itself, like any engineering degree, requires problem-solving skills and not just memorizing a lot of material. And I’ve read (and personally feel) that this skill is affected significantly by sleep problems, even more than memory.

It would really help me to hear from people who went through something similar, or know others who did.
