you sleeping yet?

Carolyn · « **Reply #1023 on:** 24/04/2008 19:51:52 »

Yes, I finally got some. I managed about 8 hours 4 nights ago, then did pretty good the next night. Last night I only got a few though. I'm crossing my fingers that can tonight. Nic and I are going to Georgia tomorrow after school and I don't want to have to drive while I'm sleepy.

Hi there, I am new to this forum but having read the posts it is good to feel that I am not alone with this awful insomnia!

I have been experiencing insomna for the past few months and am really struggling to put a brve face on it all. I have been off work for 2 weeks also as I have ot had the strength to go in with no sleep / 2 hours sleep max per night. I just can't concentrate!

The trouble is I feel so anxious in the hours leading up to bedtime and then in bed I lie with my heart racing for hours and often all night. Does anyone else have this problem at all?

I look forward to meeting new people on here who are in the same boat as me and can share their experiences!

Well welcome to the forum and I hope you will stick around. I have had many nights of that kind of sleep problems and have been dealing with it for a long time.. Neil above has had ensomnia since he was a small boy... He is a good reference to seeking other help.

I found out last August that I have Sleep Apnea although the machine helps once I am able to relax to sleep I still spend many a night up not sleeping because I can't get to sleep to use the machine to help me stay asleep.. Have been ill and medicated so as of late have been getting sleep at all kinds of odd hours and sometimes too much.

I do know how hard it is.. It is terrible and its easy to loose track of things like days etc..

Good luck to you come again and enjoy the forum!
