News of Sleep Disorders

I am frustrated. For a month trazodone 75 milligrams made me feel great. Now I have a foggy brain and nothing I can do can get rid of it. Any ideas? Should I cut back? Should I increase? This is so frustrating.

My sleep problems are slowly getting worse. I have no difficulty getting off to sleep, often suffering auditory hypnogognia. I also suffer auditory hypnogognia while I am sleeping, with my name being called as if I have over slept. I regularly get up at 6am for work, but this is getting earlier and earlier, 3am to 4am being the norm. It doesn't seem to matter what I do ...

Hi, about a week ago I began to have a constant feeling in the front of my head. The feeling is like a migraine without the pain. After a few days of carelessly getting poor sleep, I ended up not being able to sleep at all in the past couple days now.

I went to the ER yesterday and had my blood work done, and it turned out normal. There was nothing they could do ...

Hello
I have a sleep disorder. First, even after a busy and active day, when it should go to sleep, I do not want to sleep. This feeling that I need more hours in the day. I use sleeptracker and it shows me that I has REM early in the night, while NREM occurs at the end of the night. Because of this, I think, I'm pretty passive (emotionally and mentally) at the beginning of ...

Hi all

To start off.. I have been having trouble sleeping for the past month no matter what... I've had some good nights sleeps but most nights I have been tossing and turning until 3-6am which is when I fall asleep. Then I wake up really late in the morning like 10am-12pm.

I'm also a 18 year old male living in Australia. Just completed high school and unemployed... I am searching hard for a job ...

Does anyone else get this? Sometimes I'll be just going about my normal day and some small detail of my surroundings like a phrase someone used or an event that happened gives me this deja vu feeling of a dream that I have had. Sometimes the dream version is almost spot on exactly with what happens in real life. It's a very odd feeling. I don't know if that was actually what i had dreamed ...

I usually write poetry or short stories, but this was really just stream of consciousness writing, more like a journal entry. So it's not really "beautiful" or well-written, but it's about my experience and I thought maybe other people who suffer from insomnia (and possibly other things, as I do) might appreciate or be able to relate. Let me know your experiences so I feel less alone! ...

There are many reasons why you can have insomnia

Hormones - lack of melatonin production
Watching TV before sleep means less melatonin would be produced, same is true if your lights are bright

Food - eating certain foods in the evening means your body will produce too much energy
Tea, coffee etc contains caffeine, their effects last from 6-12 hours depending on the person - result poor sleep
Alcohol - gives you sleep without REM, ...

I want to start a thread of sleeping pills and other things that have helped people to overcome insomnia. From experience, insomnia cannot be cured by a magic pill or amagic bullet, since it is an ailment of the being. However, I wish to include pills because they are helpful in getting one into the mood of sleeping when they have been grappling with this issue for ages.
I found a thread that has to ...

Insomnia is a reliable source of hopelessness for me. I am too tired to do anything productive, but can't sleep at all, so I am in a very unbearable limbo. I sometimes work on puzzles to distract myself, but it is not too stimulating to trigger anxiety or anything, and it is not too demanding. I have a hard time reading because I just can't focus when I am very tired and the words become ...
