News of Sleep Disorders

Hello,
I'm having a recurring nightmare that renders me useless for days afterwards. It happens quite rarely, but it's extremely vivid and makes me upset for days afterwards. It varies in settings and circumstances, but the context is the same - in it I see one of my kids die, trying to prevent it, but never able to and then cradling the dead one and crying. For days after that, I feel very depressed, can't ...

First off, I'm 17, this has never happened to me at all before. I don't know what this is. But the past couple of days I haven't been able to get any sleep at all. I'll stay up for like 30+ hours and then finally be able to fall asleep for around 9-10 hours and then it just happens again.

I CANNOT GO TO SLEEP. Even with a blank mind. Right now, I've been up ...

Hi all. Feeling a little desperate so glad to find these forums!

I recently started lexapro (5 days) to help with anxiety regarding chronic insomnia.

For the past few nights, I have been taking my Lunesta as usual before bed, but waking up at 3: 00 or 4:00 am unable to go back to sleep.

I think maybe this is a side effect of the lexapro?

One reason I want to try the SSRI is ...

Hi, I am writing this for my mother. Lately she has started having troubles with sleeping. She stays awake most nights and even if she manages to fall asleep it is not a peaceful one. She has started talking in sleep and last week her maid found her sleep walking. This has not happened before and I am very scared for her. hat if this happens again. Has anyone here had this type of problem?

Hi all,

As is the story with most desperate people here I’ve tried everything, prescription sleeping meds, herbal stuff, certain foods, exercise, not watching TV before bed, etc.

Once it’s time to go to bed I just can’t drift off, even if I made myself stay up the previous day after another sleepless night so that I would sleep easily tonight.. I just can’t do it and end up falling asleep at around 7 or ...

Hi, my name's Josh, I'm 25 years of age, and was perfectly healthy before all this, except for some swollen nodes under my ears that would get sore every once and a while. I have a horrible issue here and think I may have a severe neurological disorder or fatal insomnia and possibly dying. This is my third bout with this and I'll explain what's going on now and when it all started. Currently, I ...

For the past few months, I've been noticing that I have trouble with sleeping. Most nights, I'll stay up from 8/9 p.m. to 4 p.m. or later. I have to return to school in about four or five weeks, and I feel like I have to get back on a normal schedule before that day (which is at the end of the month). Sometimes at night, I'll suddenly get inspired to do random things like ...

Roughly one and half year ago, I used to suffer from depression (long since solved) which was exploited to improve the effectiveness of a fake profile attack (many fake profiles being used by a single person on me to manipulate me).
To be brief, it ended up with me bursting myself out of my depressed state, tracing down the one who was responsible for all of that and launching a head-on counterattack that I assume ...

Hello everyone, this is a great community. I am NOT on CPAP and I just wanted to get some advice, thoughts, insight of you all on a problem I am having.

I have noticed that I have not been sleeping well when I sleep 7 or 8 hours or so. On weekends, when I would sleep like 10 or more hours, I have noticed that the first 8 hours are just full of not so ...

I've tired self hypnosis apps for on insomnia and they do not do anything for me I don't understand. They say pay attention to your breathing breathe slowly and listen to my voice and yes that is why I do and then after a while they will say something like "you shall start to feel tired" and I don't feel tired one bit. I don't understand, why doesn't it work for me?? I don't want ...
