Can't sleep again

[Adamsnolife]

It's so frustrating when you can't sleep for love nor money( anyone who doesn't know that was a slang for love nor money.)

Even sleeping tablets haven't worked

Be half for the day when I sleep and sleep for the rest of eternity.

I had insomnia for years, could go 3-4 days without any sleep then it would be 1-4 hours every night average. I was going crazy, red eyes, falling asleep at work etc etc

It was anxiety causing my insomnia.

These days i sleep for around 7-10 hours every night, i may have the odd bad night, but thats it.

There is hope for you, please don't give up.

If you wish to pm me, i can advice on what helped me, may be it will assist you.

All the best

I struggle with sleep a lot too. My problem is falling asleep. I've asked friends to knock me with pans. My mother used to beat me if I wasn't asleep quick enough.

I have a weird relationship with sleep...

By what you have said, that may be anxiety or fear of falling asleep, seek sleeping therapy it may help.

Never heard of sleep therapy. Did you go through it? What is it like?

I completely understand. I went at least 3-4 years with two hours a sleep max, and I mean max. What helped was a supplement called ortho sleep by aor and I'm not endorsing anything. A health food store recommended it and it works well, my sleep still isn't optimal but I have noticed that it helped

I am having problems falling asleep since I was 14, but when I do fall asleep, I sleep for 12-13 hours. It seems even my entire body doesn't like this world.

I've never slept well, but lately I only get 2 hours or so at a time. I've been taking lots of OTC sleeping pills and they don't do much for me either. Just make me forgetful and dehydrated.

I took sleep therapy during 2019. It did help. Usually you have a psychiatrist giving you antidepressant or sleeping pills plus cognitive behavioural therapy. They also do specific recommendations so you improve your sleep "hygiene".
No alcohol at night
Always wake up and sleep at the same time
No screens one hour before going to sleep
One hour of exercise daily
Your bed is for sleeping and sex only not laying in there for reading or watching TV
Meditation daily (like focusin on your breath or counting seconds of inhale and exhale)
No coffee 6 hours before sleeping
No sugar a few hours before sleeping

And that´s what I can remember. Those guys also chekc if you have sleep apnea which is related to snoring.

I'm bad with sleeping too. I already take drugs like quetiapine and trazodone which should be enough sedating, but currently I have to take zolpidem as well to even fall asleep.
