News of Insomnia Forum

Hi everyone!

I've been struggling with awakenings in the middle of the night for more over 2 years. The strangest thing is that those episodes occur only on weekdays.

Every time I have to go to work I wake up at 3 or 4 AM and struggle to go back to sleep in less than an hour  (because I feel anxious about getting the right amount of sleep and performing poorly the next day at ...

I've been hearing ringing in my ears ever since a party last week.
It has loud music but I wasn't near exposed to it for very long.
I only notice the ringing when it's quiet at night and I'm trying to get some sleep.
So far it hasn't gotten any better.
Any advice on how long I should wait to see improvement?

Every night, around 8-10 o'clock, I get aggressive and angry about soon having to go to bed (or the thought of my partner getting tired). In order to get some decent sleep, I have to take about 3-5 Benadryl tablets or beg my partner to give me oral.

Backstory on oral: I'm currently two months on HRT and my libido has skyrocketed. I don't know how to get off on my own, so in exchange ...

Well if you read my sig you can see what is going on. Bipolar and a few other issues.
I'm heavily medicated and 80% of the time i can get some semblance of sleep, but right now I'm under a lot of stress. normally when things get like this I can PRN my Seroquel from 300mg to 500 mg. but that hasn't helped and i'm now taking 600mg just to keep a lid on things. ...

Hi, I made an account just to ask this question.

When I “go to bed”, everytime I start to feel myself start to feel tired and fall asleep, I snap out of it and get a rush of adrenaline that completely makes me unsleepy because my heart is beating fast. What makes it worse is that I know what will lead me to that point and so it starts earlier and earlier because my brain ...

So I’ve been losing sleep each night. I only get about 5 hours of sleep before I wake up again and feel tired the rest of the day.

I’ve been trying to go to bed early, but I just like there thinking of what I’ve done that day or what I didn’t do.

How long should I wait before seeing a doctor?

Hi all.


Over a week ago i detected a faint pulse in my left ear. That created some anxiety and insomnia. The pulse is very faint and i can easily mask it with white noise, which I do, but I somehow learned to zone into to pulsing sounds externally all throughout my day to day experiences that are generated by outside sources. For example, the shower, the HVAC, the refrigerator in the cafeteria. In all ...

I guess it's just one of those things, I am able to sleep the whole night if I just bomb out on like seroquel or whatever, but it sucks because then i'm all groggy or sleep the whole day away, it messes with my dreams and is generally more negative than positive, I may start trying some natural type stuff like herbs or whatever to see if maybe I can sleep at night without it ...

I have a horrible time trying to get to sleep and stay asleep. I keep waking up so most of the time it feels like I have been awake all night. I have tried different natural supplements, but they don't seem to do much. The only one that helps noticeably is melatonin, but when I take it, just 1 mg or less....I feel so weird all the next day. I feel out of body, anxious, ...

To start this whole thing off, I am 24 years old and have had on and off insomnia for about a good 10 years, that insomnia typically was just me having trouble falling asleep, 3-5 hours in bed and then eventually I'd pass out for 6-9 hours.

Recently however there has been a change. Two weeks ago in fact, I was getting ready to head to bed and as I was lying down I experienced ...
