not sleeping

Last night I was up at least every hour. I just felt as if I was crawling out of my skin. It was hard to get back to sleep, because I felt so irritated. Finally about 5am I too Zanax. It helped for awhile. I am nervous about going to bed tonight. I don't want another night like last night.

Thanks tortoise. I am really glad to have found this site. Sending the healing thoughts all around.

Do you exercise at all? I have to take something at night to help me sleep. I see you're on Seroquel XR. I am too, taking 50 mg with 5mg of Methoprazine. I think the exercise helps me though too. I swim at the gym every other day at 5am so I am pretty tired at the end of the day.

Do you read before bed? Sometimes doing something soothing and calming like that can help us get into a deep sleep. Also, trying to go to bed the same time everyday....

I feel for you. Sleep is everything for us. If you're feeling anxious at bedtime, take something for it, and do some deep breathing.

Hugs,
