Heya guys! I just wanna share my sleep problem with you, and i'm really hoping that you can give me some great advices. smile so ok, this started maybe a year ago or let's say 2 years ago coz it feels like it.. before this sleeplessness began, i felt really weird.. like something unexplainable is happening to me.. like something is controlling me.. my thoughts, my feelings, even my hunger and sleepiness.. i know its crazy, but thats what i felt.. i was always anxious, worried, stressed everything.. but whenever night comes i felt so tired i even wake up late sometimes.. sometimes i even felt

uncontrollable shakiness too.. so after 2 mos or 3 i went to see a doctor specializing in psychiatry..he gave me meds a anti-psychotic med and something that would help me get some sleep.. it worked really.. all those weird feelings are gone.. i felt relaxed and worry free.. the only problem now is i find it hard to sleep.. i only get 4 hrs of sleep or sometimes 2 even.. and thats on good days.. sometimes i dont sleep at all.. i just lay in bed and close my eyes but i know im awake.. what should i do?

    Hi Maika

    Poor you, have you tried CBT(Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) It's mindfulness thought process and can help in sleeping and relaxing.  Ask to be referred through your GP.

    Take care wink x

    Hi Maika, I would agree with what has already been suggested, but also recommend learning some breathing techniques. I started doing Yoga some years ago, and find the breathing exercises particularly helpful if I'm feeling stressed. It may even be something you can find on an Internet search to get you started. Good luck with everything. Marion
