Hi, welcome to the forum, your history suggests that you have of sleep disorder. There is a delayed onset of sleep and can be due to committed work, success, stress, unusual happenings make you anxious and it will keep you awake and will lead to delayed onset of sleep.
As I have discussed in earlier posts, the therapy for this condition includes retaining of normal circadian rhythm by non-pharmacological therapy which includes; Photo therapy, maintenance of sleep hygiene.
Occasional temporary insomnia happens to most at some time or another. If it persists, a sleep study can be useful in identifying any sleep disturbing disorders. Some meds are known to disrupt sleep, as well as some mood disorders, and also things like sleep apnea or limb movements. You have every reason to presume your insomnia is temporary or at least treatable.
Hello,
I am still trying to get a diagnosis, going to Cleveland Clinic the end of the month. I am now experiencing leg, feet, hand and arm spasms, pain and tightness at night. Alot of nights it wakes me up, can't get back to sleep, Some nights I can't even get to sleep.
I am taking 600 mg of Gabapentin at bedtime, take 300 during the day. I am always tired even if I don't take it or if I get a good nights sleep, I am still always tired.
I have menopause and I get Insomnia only durring the summer, any other time i'm able to sleep fine, I would like to know why it's only the summer I have insomnia, and if there is any way that I can help make it easiar. Thank you.
I have developed a sudden acute onset initial insomnia where I feel myself nod off and wake up repeatedly, i.e. enter stage 1 nrem being aware of either myoclonic twitches, brief dreaming or sensation of falling then awake again. I might cycle through this maybe dozens of times over an hour or more as I try to sleep. This cycle repeats itself when I awake later in the night usually 2 to 3 times. I am exhausted from lack of sleep. Temazepam 10mg didn't stop this. I am otherwise well.
(I have to constantly switch up what I try to do, some things work a few times and some things work better)
Music that? has/is made of? THETA waves. Theta waves are the waves you have in the first onset of sleep. On Grooveshark (free music streaming website) songs listed as Theta wave songs. It helped a lot after I had my daughter. I found you a link to Theta wave music on You tube...

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).
In your case there is presence of difficulty in onset of sleep, impaired day time function (sleepy whole day) etc. Insomnia is also commonly associated with fatigue or malaise, poor attention or concentration, Social or vocational dysfunction, Mood disturbance and reduced motivation or energy.Your condition also needs to be differentiated from Sleep deprivation wherein it is milder form.
I never would have though of that and I have done alot of reading on various sleep disorders. I think I have delayed sleep onset. I cannot sleep when the rest of the world is sleeping. If I am left to my own schedule (fall asleep 6a-8a sleep until 2pm) I sleep fine. It is very lonely to be only one awake but I am used to it. In my case my sleeping difficulties have not been present for 3 months, 6 months but for many years.
I have a question regarding INSOMNIA? About 6 months ago, I started having insomnia, only to sleep maybe 2 or 3 hours and waking up instantly. At the time, I did not think anything about it, but now as time has gone on, it has become severe.
My neurologist gave me some more Ativan for it, but I try not to take it, if I do not have to, but eventually through a week's time with the insomnia, gradually I am turned around like I'm working midnight shift.
Hi, yours symptoms are suggestive of insomnia. Your symptoms may be due to Shift of work or sleep cycle due to late night work, parties etc.
The sleep problems can be resolved by transferring from the night shift or by adopting a daily sleep routine that is consistent seven days per week. Chronic insomnia may develop in individuals who work the night shift on either a rotating or permanent basis.
You can try melatonin against prescription which helps your sleep cycle to bring it to normal.

Hi
Rozerem is indicated for the treatment of insomnia characterized by difficulty with sleep onset. The most frequent adverse events leading to discontinuation in patients receiving Rozerum were somnolence, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, headache etc.
It is important to note that sleep disturbances may be the presenting manifestation of a physical and/or psychiatric disorder, medical treatment of insomnia should be initiated only after a careful evaluation by your doctor.
Well for the last 3 months i have had insomnia. Some days i woldnt be able to sleep and other days i would. On the days i would sleep, i still kinda felt tired throughout the day. I notice that when would sleep i would be waking up every hour or so.
