we need an insomnia forum

so here it is past 3 am yet again and I am so tired but can't sleep.
I can't tell if anxiety causes not being able to sleep, or not being able to sleep anxiety.

If anyones up Feel free to respond.

I try music, meditation, oils(sometimes that works), dark rooms, no caffeine, turning off tv's etc...but I just can't sleep at night. I usually crash around 6 am-12 and then I get my days and nights mixed up, but even if I stay awake 48+ hours the cycle isn't broken.

No sleeping just makes everything worse. I am trying to heal from surgery, deal with depression, med changes, dr changes, christmas, loneliness, and being awake just gives you LOTS of undistracted time to THINK and THINK some more....

I wish there was an "I'm awake want to chat" feature....

Have you talked to your Doctor about getting some help in the form of meds?

AM,

I am so sorry to hear of your insomnia troubles. I don't ususally have problems sleeping...but when I have, it is really miserable, so I am sending my sympathies your way!

I can't remember if I ever suggested Binaural Beats (soundwave therapy) to you? If you are interested, I can post some links.

Best wishes for getting the rest that you need.

S.C.
