I have had terrible, chronic insomnia for over 15 years. My average night's sleep was only 5 hours with long periods of much less sleep. I was miserable and often nonfunctional. Drugs did not help, and I was prescribed a lot of them. I had sleep studies that produced no conclusion because I did not sleep at all in the lab. The CPAP made the insomnia worse. I could not sleep at all with the ...

I mean, I've slept a bit (probably about 6 hours total), but I keep having sh*t keep me awake.

I want to apologize in advance for this long post. I am 31yrs old. I smoke, dont drink.
This is the hard truth of the matter. From day 1 till now. I posted somthing like this before. I tried to delete that post, but i cant. Please help.

I have been able to trace how some of this began so here goes:

Hi i take Seroquel XR for insomnia, although it hasnt been working for me since i commenced taking it. Today i asked my doctor what the "XR" meant as i couldnt recall taking "Seroquel XR" just "Seroquel" when it was actually helping me sleep better. He replied that it is slow release, but after reflecting i think the standard "Seroquel" had enough "kick" to get me to nod off whereas the "XR" doesnt have that. ...

I don't know if this is normal but I hate sleeping, I would rather feel exhausted then actually sleep. When I actually do sleep naturally I feel exhausted either way ! I have anxiety and I just build up a uncomfortable feeling of fear when I think of sleeping, I don't know any other way of explaining it other than just scared. I have had odd sleeping pattern for years and it varies from sleeping ...

OK here goes. The last few years I have had no proper regular sleep routine. No biggie there, it's just how its affecting me. Im getting betwen two and four hours of sleep a night, generally. This can change however, after such things as three nights in a row being unable to sleep and thus heading to University like a zombie. Or taking something to help sleep only for it to kick in when you're ...

I go to bed at eight or nine every night, lay there until at least 3 am, finally fall asleep then wake up three, four or maybe five hours later and won;t be able to sleep anymore. It drives me insane! Weirdest thing is that two nights ago I couldn't sleep at all, and then last night I fell asleep at two in the afternoon and woke up at eight this morning. And I'm still ...

It is 4:45 am and I haven't slept a lick. I have been up all night plagued with anxiety about a social function I have to attend in 6 hours. I have been trying to get to sleep on and off, but I've mostly been on the forums posting all night.

So, I have to go to my daughter's seventh bday party and be with my ex and his entire family plus some strangers who ...
