I use to be a good sleeper but now i wake quite a few times in the night. I know what you mean about negative anxious thoughts, i have been feeling that too recently and i seem to worry about everything, just remember you are not alone in feeling this way x

If you look back, I've posted about 3-4 discussions around insomnia...even a couple this week!
You can find past posts on the weekly discussions summary...
I too suffer from insomnia but have never been a great sleeper, luckily don't get the awful debilitating anxiety with it yet...have suffered terrible anxiety but that was due to other personal reasons not peri!
"Up again at 3am...5htp?" Is a current thread about sleep.
Many ladies on here have many different ideas and hopefully something will work for you?
I've tried lots of natural remedies but this week resorted to taking an OTC antihistamine pill, just to break this awful endless cycle of insomnia, still a little wakeful but at least don't get up at 3am!
I've posted about magnesiums too...as I said, look back over recent discussions
Good luck jx

Anyway No easy answer but personally Acupuncture has helped me alot. Im not really comfy at the thought of taking tablets and medication at the moment( although i will keep an open mind).
Iff for another Acu treatment tomorrow so hoping things will continue to improve.

I'm not a pill person either but after years of trying teas, magnesiums, herbs, good sleep hygiene, throwing away Valium prescription from GP, night cough mixture! Et al...resorted to antihistamine just for a break and to alter my cycle!
Would like to try 5htp but fed up with constantly buying new products and hopefully waiting for them to work!

I'm in the U.S. and it's 7:28am here. I fell asleep at 11:30 pm and woke up every hour or so. I just finally decided to get up. Usually I fall asleep around 10:30 pm and wake at 3 am and then I'm up for the remainder of the day. My sleep pattern is horrible. I seem to get the most anxious during the day. It's frustrating. I don't have any suggestions or remedies but know you are not alone. I'm learning my own methods of coping to see what works for me. I don't like pills and only take what I need to for my health. And I'm definitely not taking anything that will aggerivate what I already have going on since there is a new symptom every other day. I have resorted to coloring books, puzzles, or watching a funny tv show or movie. Anything to busy my mind. When I don't focus on the symptoms able to better control my anxiety attacks. A negative thought will creep in but I tell myself I'm ok and it will go away.
