I've had HH all my life

Since I can remember, i've often woken in the middle of the night and see figures in my room, usually due to shadows or objects such as a dressing gown on my door or the wardrobe etc. like many other people, i experience the illusions of spiders climbing down my wall and onto my pillow. Also, I got them frequently if I was ill. Howvever, now I am 17, in the past few weeks I have had hallucinations pretty much every single night. I think Iv almost got myself into a habit of having them. I'm not at all scared as I keep telling myself that it is just in my mind. However, it is nonetheless spooky as I hear noises. One night A man was sitting in the corner of my room and i thought I spoke to him, another time classical musical played from my television(which was obviously off) another one I had recently was that a puppet was hanging outside my window and the sounds of children playing outside. I find comfort in the fact i sleep with my dog in my room and so as she never wakes up I know there is nothing to worry about. I also don't help myself as from I young age i've drank tea before bed - maybe caffeine isn't the best thing to have before sleep. My advice to others would be to just to relax and wait for it to pass, even find the funny/amazing side of it if possible. and remember it's just in your mind, no ghosties haha xxx smile

    I experience the same issues!

    I have tried using herbal tablets such as Kalms rather than going to a doctor and asking for sleeping tabs. Recently I sent a email to my local sleep clinic and asked for there help as to be direct from your doctor can take up to 2 yrs! Its worth a try and they have replied back to me and I am just waiting for the phone call now to see if the clinic can help me in any way!

    I read all the comments from people who suffer the exact same things as i do, but there does not seen to be any cure which is worrying as this is effecting my sleeping!

    I looked at how I was living my life.

    Too Busy, too stressed, not enough time for myself. So I listened to what I needed.

    Please don't take drugs to combat HH. Doctors can't explain why you see the thing you do,!!!!! only how you see them. They give you the drugs to shut you up.

    Now I meditate, excerise, talk to friends. amongst the 10 hours shifts and a uni degree.

    I really want to urge people to change their lifestyles not look to drugs that a doctors gives you to combat HH. How can one pill suit everybody???
