I've completed stopped sleeping and I'm terrified. It's been like this for weeks now, minus maybe two hours in the early hours of the morning. It's not that I'm not tired, I'm absolutely exhausted to my core,so much so I'm in bed all day feeling faint. I lay there all night and sleep doesn't come. It's ruining all aspects of my life. I've had two different types of medication prescribed to me for sleep and both havent worked (Promethazine and Zopiclone) I'm starting to think it could be my thyroid and to get it checked out, but until then im really suffering. Any advice please?!

    Try drinking a glass of hot adult formula milk 1 hour before sleep. It might help. If you could drink 2 glasses a day but space it out or you end up going to the toilet middle of the night.

    Google how digital devices have blue light which disrupt sleep. Try install apps like twilight to switch your phone to block blue light and see if it helps. You could also try not to look at digital devices 1 to 2 hours before bed. It does disrupt your sleep. You might want to try getting a pair of block blue light glasses and wear it few hours before sleep. It will help.

    Soak your feet in a small basin before bed in slightly hot water. It helps too.

    Magnesium oil sleep spray also helps. Lack of Vitamin D can also affect sleep. You can try taking liquid vitamin D every morning but not afternoon or night as it will keep you awake.

    So sorry you are having a difficult time. Have you found out what's causing the insomnia? I'm in the same boat, with the exact same sleep pattern as yours, the only difference is I also have a fear of sleep. I also think I may have a thyroid issue as well. I hope your feeling better and get to the bottom of this issue.

    hi, you don't feel sleepy at all right? when you try to sleep does you mind wander? you can't stop it from stupid thinking, your brain just keeps going and going? the more you put effort to stop it the worse it gets right? do you have heart palpitations? like feeling your heart thumping hard but at around 60 bpm? also any arrhythmias?
