News of Sleep Disorders

Hi guys I was just wondering if you guys could give me some advice on sleep problems I've been having for years now. Im 29-years-old and for the past 4 years I've been having sleep problems that mainly have to do with sleep maintenance and poor sleep quality in general.

The sleep problems started when I did a dock work job 4 years ago that involved being on-call day and night 24/7. I think the ...

I tend to get 7-9 hours of sleep every night, yet I still have problems staying awake during the day. Just last night for example, I went to sleep at 1AM and woke up at 8:30. Today I fell asleep at 5:00PM and didn't wake back up until 9:15PM. I eat lots of healthy foods and I exercise fairly regularly. I also feel sore many times when I wake up.

I am always falling asleep ...

Up early again...I don't know why sleep eludes me. I want to sleep....its usually an escape, except for the dreams. Which BTW NEVER go to sleep with Forensic Files on the TV. I Have had some of the most awful dreams sleeping with that show on LOL
I saw my T yesterday.....we talked about the many reasons I can't sleep or relax of meditate, and there are many of them....some of them trauma related, and ...

Hi,
I didn't know whether to post this in the sleep disorder forum but I thought seeing as it's an isolated incident I would post it here and I've just read that it is thought to occur slightly more in people with mental health issues such as bipolar, ptsd or personality disorders. (I have 'suspected' BPD and currently awaiting treatment.)
Last night, I believe I experienced 'sleep paralysis'. I had lots of crazy dreams last ...

Hi guys, I'm new and I was wondering if you guys have any advice for what i consider to be a strange case of insomnia.

Basically, about three months ago I went through a highly stressful stage in my life that left me unable to sleep. Well, the stress is gone but I still can't sleep like I used to. I literally can't feel sleepy, even if I stay up for days. I experience all ...

Hi,
I have a very hard time falling sleep and waking up after only a couple of hours, and not falling back to sleep. Now last month, I was so incredibly anxious about a new job, that was just impossible to do, that I only slept 2-3 hours a night for 3 weeks (and worked), and 5 days in a row, I never closed my eyes.....then I started hearing and seeing things. I ended up ...

This is going to sound very strange, and I'm not sure if stress/anxiety has a lot to do with it because I have been under and still am under a lot of stress/anxiety, or if this is an actual physiological condition.



Alright, so here is what happens, right as I am laying in bed (tired/relaxed), I slowly begin to try to enter stage 1 sleep when suddenly I feel like my heart is racing, or ...

Something weird happens to me in my sleep. The only way I can describe it is dreaming while I'm awake. It happens every night; I can see that I'm in my bed, yet my brain seems to think I'm somewhere else -- doing other things. I will use my sheets and pillows as if they're other items. I can see while this is happening that they are clearly just sheets and pillows but this doesn't ...
