sleep problems due to stress

These disorders can be like obstructive sleep apnea, wherein during sleep there is an obstruction to airflow due to laxity of the throat muscles during sleep and this could cause restlessness.hence for therapy CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) is used to keep it patent. 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.

Had a sinus infection and broncittis not too long ago that im just now getting over plus the added stress of transfering, moving states, and im about to have to switch doctors after next week due to the move. I may ask about the sleep aid cuz I think im gonna need it.

My husband and I are under a tremendous amount of stress due to money problems. He has just told me that his left eye is not acting right. He says that there seems to be a line about 1/2 across his vision that seems to be pixilated. He can't read his computer screen. Could this be a product of the stress that he is under?

It is called somatizing, conversion or taking environment and creating/resulting in physical problems from ulcers, to loss of sleep. Most of the time it is stomach or intestine related.

I don't have stress or anxiety. But I am not able to sleep at night. I am 30. What might be tha causes?

The initial steps you need to take are sleep hygiene education, stimulus control, relaxation, sleep restriction, cognitive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, phototherapy, and chronotherapy. These therapies can be prescribed by clinicians at any level but it can be better implemented by sleep specialist. Medical therapy involves use of benzodiazepines, Nonbenzodiazepines, Melatonin agonist or Diphenhydramine against prescription for short duration.

Lately I have been getting really light headed every time I stand up from laying down and once in a while when I try to sleep I wont be able to and will be very itchy everywhere. I also have expierenced stomach pains that has caused body twitching while trying to sleep.

Yes, it has happened to me before. Also stress, exercise and fatigue play a factor as well.

i only sleep fpr about 3 hours a night {due to pain} and the day is spent trying to catch up on lost sleep!! anyone out ther in the same position?.

Hi, sounds like to me its stress all your symptoms can be do from stress.,.if u been stress worrying about if u have HIV and other life stresses, stress can kill you. I got so stressed when I was going though my devoice I lost like 50 lbs I only weighed 130 to begin with...I was walking dead!!! I couldn't eat sleep god it was a dark scary place ..

hi!! I know that Valerian root works well for some, kava kava, ummm.. can't think of the others but I'm sure someone else will post. The Ativan may not be helping you too much since it is a short acting benzo. I was prescribed Xanax for almost a year and it didn't help too much with my anxiety, maybe for an hour or so after I took it. They switched me to Klonopin, longer acting and I've had ZERO anxiety/panic problems since.

Yess I also have a body pillow lots of normal ones nd my fiance but nothing works due to me having back pains while I'm trying to sleep I put on a hot patch on my back last night nd I slept like a baby first time sleeping good in almost a month. .

First i do have anxiety. But this is the first time this happened and i in no way want to sleep again i woke up and couldnt move anything not a muscle couldn't speak nothing. It happen for about ten seconds then i was able to move. What happened how do i aviod this?

Hi, yes stress and strain to body can cause sleep disorders due to less rest than required to body. What you mean is correct. A sleep study can throw some light on the reason of your disturbed sleep. Get evaluated by a sleep specialist. Good luck and take care. Bye.

i have a hard time going to sleep and staying asleep. last night i was tired...i went to bed i woke up unable to move and speak... and i had a hard time breathing.... it took several deep breaths for me to be able to move and talk.... i got scared and didn' t want to go to sleep... it happened 5 more times.... is this something serious?... could this be due to back problems... i have a posting in orthopedics for a back problem....

I made a stupid error. I DO NOT have any symptoms or twitching on my left side. I am very anxious about this, but I don't want to overreact.

granted I had insomnia before I was ever diagnosed with the CSS. I know that prednisone can cause sleep issues, and I really need to get some sleep. I also have ADHD. I've tried trazadone with mixed results. I currently take Prednisone, Qvar, Foradil, Zantac and Adderall. I would prefer not to add another pill to the mix if I can help it, the less med interactions I chance the better....any suggestions? It's quite common for it to be after 3am before I can get to sleep...

My doctor also says pepcid ac works.

In my experience with anxiety, I sometimes tended to have it peak at night when my mind was not preoccupied with the tasks of the day. I think that a huge thing to remember is that your anxiety will definitely ebb will have its peaks and it can spike from time to time. For example, I can go months without any major issues only to have a 'bad' week where it peaks due to a number of factors. More stress at the job, at home, etc...

Since I have read I will comment that most of your problems seem to be related to insufficient sleep. Have you talked with your doctor about a prescription sleep aid (pill)? I have such and rarely use it, it doesn't change my dreaming problem. The generic sleeping pill is not expensive, and while I think it best to avoid developing dependencies on medication, it might be worth a try to see if more sleep solves other problems too.
