Avatar f tn There can be many reasons for the way you are feeling. The best thing for you to do is to have a good physical with your doctor. Teens need on average 9-10 hours every night of sleep; it is during sleep that the muscles repair themselves so get plenty of sleep. Don't skip meals, whatever you do. Especially, do not skip breakfast as that is the meal that 'jump starts' the body as well as the brain.
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 Non-benzodiazepines are effective in delayed onset sleep disorder and help to initiate the sleep. Along with this you also need behavioral therapy. I suggest you to consult sleep specialist rather than neurologist. Take care and regards.

Avatar f tn If you go see a sleep doctor in person, CBTi is what they will recommend. Alternatively, online programs have been found to be equally effective and less expensive. Rest well!
Avatar m tn The first step would be to rule the causes for insomnia like sleep disorders. Next it is treated with both medical and non medical therapy. Medical (sedatives) are given in the temporary initial phase, this is combined with non medical measures like sleep hygiene, relaxation therapy, stimulus control, and sleep restriction which are referred to as cognitive behavioral therapies. As the non medical measures help to restore your sleep rhythm, the sedatives are withdrawn.
Avatar n tn Hi, welcome to the forum, your child seems to have circardium related sleep disorder. It starts in childhood, onset of sleep problems tend to be associated with stress, anxiety, or circadian rhythm sleep disorders. They may also be associated with sleep disorders (eg, sleep apnea, periodic limb movements), medical conditions that cause pain, psychiatric diseases (eg, anxiety, depression).

Avatar f tn Anyway I get to sleep and wake up within an hour to two hours. This goes on all night. I never go to sleep and sleep through the night. The sleep study was done with my taking a sleeping pill before the study and the technician still stated I wake up a lot. It was every two hours that night. Is there any help for broken sleep, the neurologist did not have anything for me as I do not have sleep apnea. I already knew that, but he did not listen. However, Is there any help out there?

Avatar f tn It sounds to me as if you are suffering from sleep apnea. People with sleep apnea stop breathing during their sleep. There may be some obstruction in the air passage.
