Common Questions and Answers about Sleep disorders can t wake up

sleep

Avatar m tn However if it persists and is disturbing your sleep schedules it could be due to a sleep disorder. These disorders can be like obstructive sleep apnea, wherein during sleep there is an obstruction to air flow due to laxity of the throat muscles during sleep and this could cause restlessness. Another cause could be an entity called restless leg syndrome, where there is an odd sensation in the legs during sleep causing the individual to move, which relieves the sensation.

Avatar n tn sleep apnea and other sleep-related breathing disorders, narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia, psychiatric disorders, chronic use of drugs or alcohol, medical disorders like an overactive thyroid, insufficient sleep, neurological disorders, sleep-wake cycle circadian rhythm disorders (eg. nightshift work), etc. “Onset insomnia” is a condition where a person faces difficulty in falling asleep at the beginning of night, when he goes to bed.
Avatar f tn For about 3 months now I've been waking up every 2 hours. Now, for the last three nights I wake up every hour. Sometimes I'm able to go back to sleep...other times it takes an hour or so. Sometimes after I wake up I also experience a hot flash. (I'm 52) But not always. Any ideas?
Avatar f tn I would eventually go back to sleep, but again I would wake up. The longest I would sleep is 2 hours and dreams I do not have. I do not seem to enter the dream state. But I am tired all day long and it is very frustrating. I have had this for a long time, since I can remember and that is a long time as I am now 54 years old.
Avatar f tn Certain sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnea can cause disturbed sleep and hence the need to sleep more. And others like narcolepsy can cause excessive sleepiness per say. If it persists or is troublesome consult your doctor for assessment. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Avatar f tn If this always happens as you are going to sleep and/or wakes you up from sleep, my first thought would be sleep apnea. Before I was diagnosed and began using a CPAP, I had become very afraid to sleep, and avoided it till I collapsed in exhaustion. Much of what you describe is what I experienced. Since I got my CPAP working well for me I have not had one episode of the sense of choking or difficulty breathing.
Avatar n tn some times when i go to sleep and about 1 hour or 2 hours i wake up not feeling well, and my heart is beating fast and i feel very nervous and scared that i am going to faint but i put cold water in my forehead and my neck and i stat to feel better and my heart beat is slowing down and only happens when i am sleeping.
Avatar f tn Been very stressed out lately, with work, and payments due, and I know that can make things worse. Its just rather unnerving to wake up and realize that you don't even remember feeling sleepy, or closing your eyes.
Avatar n tn theres a 5year old in my household and will be up till 4am and wake up at 7am feeling ready to go for the day. But if he has a long day when he gets home, he's knocked out for a long time. Getting a schedule down , like getting your son to know after a bath and a story is bedtime and thats when he needs to lay down and sleep.
Avatar n tn The associated symptoms with the following disorder are confusional wakefulness, sleep paralysis, nightmares and night terrors. This can occur in any sleep stage (REM and non-REM stage) . Do not panic when you have the attack. To rule out parasomnias you need to undergo Polysomnyography and sleep analysis. she needs to take out time for further evaluation. Sleep with light on. Short term benzodiazepine against prescription will help. I suggest you to consult sleep specialist.
514443 tn?1224592574 I know what it feels like to wake up without enough sleep and I also know that this is much much worse than that. This lasts all day long and scares me because I feel like I could fall over and sleep on my desk or fall asleep in my car. I have not actually fallen asleep during the day yet, because I fight myself to stay alert as much a possible. Also, while I feel like this, I still cannot sit still (I have adhd) My leg is constantly bouncing and I am always distracted.
Avatar f tn I am a 66 year old women. I have been seeing spiders for a little less than 2 years. I see them when I wake up. It's like as soon as I wake up they come to me. I know that they are not real and would like to fined out why they have appeared.
Avatar m tn So basically i wake up very often during the night panicked. I usually stand up suddenly and walk away from the bed couple of meters. Sometimes it's because i think there are bugs and spiders in the bed, other times im not really sure why. I realize usually pretty quick that nothing is really going on ( in the matter of seconds ). I have had different kind of sleep disorders, from sleep talking to things i cant even describe.
Avatar f tn hi-- i have noticed a change in my sleep patterns lately. i have always (as long as i can remember) have had panic attacts at night when trying to sleep, but my symptoms now are much more drastic. first let me tell you that i take 60 ,mg of methadone/day--due to a methadone program--i have been on the program for 7 months now. i also still drink alcohol, almost everyday. these symptoms i have now have been getting worse in the last 6-10 weeks.
443862 tn?1237999439 30 pm (always have) and wake up every monrihg between 4:45-5:30 am and I am so tired during the day. I don't know why I'm waking up, not topee, not hungry, unable to go back to sleep, why do I ened so much more sleep. Help, any ideas on what I can do to sleep more throu the night?
Avatar m tn I am 38 and have also the exact same thing. I would be watching TV or reading at night and then start to doze off At 11pm. As soon as I go to bed I would doze off for a few min then would suddenly wake up again as if someone injected 10 cups of coffee in me. I then can&#39;t sleep again till 5am. My brain is racing and I can&#39;t shut it down. When I finally sleep at 5am I would be half asleep waking up every 30 min and then finally wake up at 7 or 8.
Avatar n tn I am getting real dizzy spells while sleeping...they start in my dream and wake me up...my eyes won´t focus on anything...the dizzy spells are so bad, i break out in a cold sweat and have to throw up..then they carry on thru the day...I had this same problem last year at this time...the dizzy starts it seems while i am sleeping on my left side...but only this time of year..
1711268 tn?1308268523 Hello and hope you are doing well. Understand your predicament. But the symptoms described by you can occur in sleep disorders called “Nightmare” or "Night terror" disorders. Here the person experiences symptoms of bad, frightening dreams and sometimes may act out these dreams. The sleep architecture may be disturbed, this may interfere with the sleep schedules. This is usually assessed by a set of questionnaires and the therapy is based on the severity of the disorder.
410281 tn?1254229064 I had no idea that I was sleeping so poorly, especially after hearing about so much fatigue from my friends here. I can wake up and actually be awake!! I still shake, twitch, jerk and am quite tingly. But sleeping well sure makes it all more manageable... So for those of you with sleep disorders, or that think you might, ASK about Mirapex!

Avatar m tn Follow the directions exactly as explained on the bottle though... too many can make you never wake up.... Although I think it would take quite a bit of them to do that. One other thing that works wonders, and is a personal favorite, is a glass of milk before going to sleep, especially if you can drink it warmed. Something about the combination of Vitamin D, Calcium, and heat I believe is what does it.... always works for me anyway....
1275375 tn?1273089745 Go to sleep 10pm, wake up 11pm, wake up 12am, wake up 2am, wake up 4am.. wake up 7am (get up). I woke up much more than that at least 5 times I can kinf of remember, probably more I dont. I actually have dreams about noises and wake up and it's my breathing/snoring. Always have a dry mouth too... it's 2pm now and I'm falling asleep at my desk.
4253094 tn?1351751117 If the symptoms still do not resolve, then you have to get assessed for sleep disorders. Certain sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnea can cause disturbed sleep and hence the need to sleep more. And others like narcolepsy can cause excessive sleepiness per say. If it persists or is troublesome consult your doctor for assessment. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn I just make a mental note of when I want to wake up, either from sleep or a nap...and I wake up to music. I do not even own an alarm clock. Years ago when it started, it was incredibly loud, and I had a vision/dream of a radio with no knobs so I couldn't turn it down. When I woke....it was dead silent, and head felt like I just stepped out of a concert. The 'radio' is gone now....the music much quieter....and is rarely anything I like, or listen to during the day.
