So I've had anxiety and panic attacks for years but now all of a sudden I'm short of breath all day long and when night time rolls around I can sleep at first due to the Short of breath and when I fall asleep I'm awake in 2 hours and can't go back to sleep I barely get any sleep I wake up every 2 hours and sometimes 2 hours is all I get

    Hi Brently,

    I am exactly the same mate. It is infuriating. I head to bed at 10.30 and are awake by 12.30 . I have tried melatonin and tart cherry juice but don't seem to be having much effect. Whatever you do don't go near Zopiclone I have just got off that drug and the withdrawals are horrendous. All I can say is maybe try melatonin as it may just work for you.

    Cpap machine helped me but it still happens at times.  I worked the night shift for many years and have a tough time sleeping at night anyway.  I try not to worry about it and end up with 6 hours of sleep a day somehow.  But lately, I am better because of the CPAP.  I managed to sleep 5 hours straight, up for one, took my meds, and got three more the other day.

    How about using CBD oil, it helps many people with sleep and anxiety.

      Interesting you should say that, I am thinking of trying this oil. Do you take the capsules every day? Did you get any side effects?
