Serious Sleep Problem, Need Help
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have been dealing with insonmia for a majority of my life. Latelly for the past week it has gotten significantly worse, progressively so. I have not been getting sleep barely a wink i believe. It takes me quite along time to fall asleep and when i do i have been waking up consistenly every hour or so and when i fully wake i feel even worse than before, like a barely even slept. I don't know what to do as i'm going through alot of light headness, brain fog, and alot of other things from keeping me fuctional. Just today i slept maybe 2 hours but woke up twice and feel like a barely slept a wink. It's extremely frustrating as i was doing well for myself until this happened. Anybody ever been through the same thing or is going through it, any advice. I do plan to seek a professional soon but it may be ways off.

Thank you and no im afraid. I had a sleep study done around last year i was told i do not have a sleep disorder but my sleep cycles were erratic. They told me my anxiety is a huge contributor to my insonmia which i don't doubt. It's just odd that it happenes when i'm actually enjoying life and being more productive. Each episode is different yet share similar traits so it's extremely taxing. I do try to stay calm and my anxiety has dropped since before but these bouts happen out of no where with no clear indicator. It's like my body just decides to screw me over for no reason when im being something more.

Just a update, still can't sleep correctly. I constantly wake up ever hour now and i wake up unrefreshed. I just cant stay asleep no matter what anything i can take as melatonin has not been working.

Similar lifetime experience now 79 & fit apart from this, have been unable to find anything apart from Zopiclone which works, even that I only take about once a week as it doesn't work long term if taken more often. I do take 2 mg of magnesium citrate which seems to relax me & do work out in gym 2 or 3 times a week
apart from that I just suffer the awful nights it's now 2.40 am
anyone with any ideas ?
