8 months ago I lived a very strong emotionnal shock. The following night of this shock I lost the desire to sleep and had a sleepless night. I didn’t think too much of it, but the next nights I still didn’t feel the desire to ...

Okay it’s really hard to explain, but even since I was younger I’ve had these dreams that just build up, like a second life. There’s my elementary, middle, freshman, and highschool as well as both of my workplaces. That’s just the start, everywhere that I frequent is there, even the massive hill nearby. Recently, it’s been getting harder to tell which is real and which is a dream. It’s freaky. Like I’ll lose something in ...

I was on a medication to manage nerve pain, which was Lyrica based and I have since found that the doctors were just treating the symptom and not looking for the cause. The medication caused a few issues including health issues due to my diabetes which it threw out of whack.

Unfortunately, the medication also caused other mental health problems which I was unaware of until it was too late. I have since gone through ...

I'm sick of going to sleep and having nightmares. I can't seem to wake myself out of them either. I fear going to bed every night. Most of the time, I don't even know what they mean. I wake up in the middle of a panic attack every night. I also have trouble falling back to sleep. Please tell me that I'm not alone in this.

I’m going on 7 weeks of the weirdest symptoms. I’ve been to my primary Dr, a sports medicine Dr and a Sleep Dr and none can confirm what’s going on. I see an Neuro Muscular Dr on Monday. This issue is only when I sleep so it’s not induced by body position. Once I fall asleep, I wake up every 1.5-2.0 hours every night and always on that schedule. I haven’t had one night making ...

After spending all my time on adult tasks; parenting, my partner, my life, parents, stress, work..
Night is my time, and I do not want to let go. Maybe I could sleep if I wanted to but it's really hard to give up the only alone time I get ever. :( Anyone else?

I suffer from chronic pain last 6 years and I can't do literally anything more stimulating to me than watching a wall whole day. I used to read Philosophy 16 hours 24/7, but my state worsened and I can't do even that anymore! Nothing I can do is more stimulating/interesting/entertaining me more than watching a wall! I Am so bored (especially before sleep) I keep bedtime procrastinating from boredom last 6 years. I defer going ...

Hello all, it is currently 2:55am here and I’ve been having a bit of distress. Over the past few years I have battled insomnia on and off (primarily due to anxiety, especially anxiety around sleeping) and I have been for a while now prescribed Xanax to take at night since falling asleep has always been my issue.

So normally I will take .5 mg Xanax or, if coming off of a particularly anxious night of ...

Hi,
I last posted a year ago, and am out once again on medical leave due to the same issue--major depression/anxiety and insomnia caused by those issues. My psychiatrist prescribed Lunesta (generic brand) and trazadone. (50 mg). She initially had me at 2 mg,(took it for two nights) only slept 2 hours max, long story short ended up in ER due to reaction (complete lack of sleep, frequent urination, sweaty hands/feet), so they prescribed lorazepam. ...

I'm having Terminal Insomnia for more than 2 years now. I would fall asleep relatively fast but then would usually wake up after 3-3.5 hours (usually at 4-5 a.m) and afterwards I wouldn't be able to fall asleep most of the nights. I have tried sleep restriction for about 2 months but it didn't improve the situation. I also made a test in a sleep lab, but they did not discover any disorders. Any ideas ...
