Hello, For 3 weeks now I haven't been able to sleep for as long as I need at a single moment and it just makes life a huge mess. I've tried a few things already but I'll start from the beginning.

Staying asleep is the hard part for me. It's 2 AM here, I fall asleep, sleep for an hour or so then wake up. It goes on all night like this. Doctor added 0.5mg of Klonopin yesterday and told me to take it at bed time, that it should help with my sleep an anxiety. Is anyone else taking Klonopin?

If I were creative at all, I’d write a poem, an ode to sleep – the wonder and beauty of sleep. I would love to be asleep right now, but there is no chance – like none, zilch, nada – so here I am. This afternoon at work will probably be difficult to get through. I’d nap if I weren’t at work. Why is sleeping in the afternoon easier than sleeping at night? Not a ...

Hi guys, this is my first post here. My main problem with sleep is that I live right next to a noisy environment, and I keep getting woken up by noises. I did some research and found that I can use:

A noisy fan
A white noise machine
Earplugs
