Is this a sleep disorder?

I've had this problem in the past and it's recently resurfaced: I can't fall asleep. Whenever I drift into the first stage of sleep my body wakes me up. Sometimes it's a pop of light. Monday: I was eating and stabbed myself with a fork, Tuesday I kept falling, Wednesday I had a bug crawling on my arm, it's always something, and it happens throughout the night. I'm getting ready for a trip and I’m thinking it could be underlying stress. It's horrible though when it goes on all night, it's also very scary, having your body automatically wake you up whenever you begin to fall asleep. How about taking any medicine. Will it work n give me the sleep that I want.

wesley,

There are many factors that could be causing your sleep Issues. Have you talked to a doctor and had any sleep studys done. My suggestion would be to start with your Primary doctor and let them know what symptoms you are having but with what you were saying about the things that are waking you up it sounds to me like it's more of a mental reason keeping you from getting sleep. I would try and take care of this asap. Without sleep it will drive ya crazy...(well in my case it will....)
