I am studying everyday currently, I am also reading recreationally, and keeping up on the news everyday. Its obvious whats making me mentally exhausted, but the problem is, I have to do all these things in order to live. Someone suggested that I write in my journal, but all that does is channel all my exhaustion, fatigue, and rage into one target. How can I get back to coherency? How can I make my mind work for me?

I’ve been having major sleeping problems for awhile (2 months), I can sleep, but I haven’t been getting REM sleep… I’ll sleep like I passed out, but when I wake up, no dreams nor any rest… I’ll be exhausted. It’s been taking a major effect on my mood and grades and relationships. I went from A/B student, and since this has started I have D’s in three core classes… The last day of school is in 4 weeks, and I have projects due and end of course exams coming up next week… But with this exhaustion, I can’t think straight nor can I even focus on these important things. Ive been depressed, dizzy, and seeing things… I’ll see people and think they are someone else that I knew. I’m Iron- deficient and I’m Bipolar, so if those are affecting me at all as well please take them into consideration. Thanks. I just need to know what to do, I need help about this severely… Help?

I’ve developed terrible insomnia. So nights i dont even sleep. I’ve been taking OTC sleeping aids. I find that these don’t really help. I can tell when they start working because i feel drowsy but i still cant sleep. Last night i took one and it still took me almost an hour to sleep after it kicked in. Sometimes i feel like im in a semi-conscientious state. My body is sleeping but my mind is still moving a million miles an hour. I usually wake up tired and moody. I’m a student, workfull time and do like eleventibillion other things a day. I think im headed toward exhaustion. I’m afraid to ask for prescription pills. I was on pain pills once after being hit by a tow truck, and i had terrible nightmares. I’ve read many of the pills on the market for insomnia, make ppl do things during the night, that can endanger them and their families. Not to mention what has happened to Heath Ledger. What should i do?
I exercise regularly. That’s among the eleventibillion things i do a day. I hit the gym about 4 times a week.
And smoking pot def is not an option for me. Thanks for the suggestions though!

I’m just wondering how early in pregnancy you can experience fatigue? I’ve been pregnant 3 times, and I just don’t remember feeling exhaustion, but each pregnancy is different, so I’d like to hear your experiences.

Thanks!

I have bad insomnia that affects my day to day life and also heart murmur type problemos, I’ve been worried lately I’m going to just drop dead from exhaustion or something is it possible?

Now~ he works 12+ hour shifts
I stay home with our 2 kids so I expect him to do nothing around the house.
I cook, clean, take care of the kids +3 dogs (the best I can.. I fail miserably with the dogs sometimes~ no chance to walk them).. I make his lunch or dinner for work depending on day or night shift.. I do laundry~

Anyways, I am and have been having sleep problems for the last couple years. Have a hard time falling asleep (this started after having our son who needed to be fed every 2 hours the entire first year).. so my sleep patterns are screwed up royally~

Our kids are becoming early risers.. I could handle even 7 am.. I struggle big time with getting them up in the morning if the sun hasn’t even made a sliver of appearance yet.. like today for example.. My son woke up at 4:30 am when my husband got up for work.

Kids are 2 and 4. 2 year old is still needing to be put back in bed maybe 3 times after he is put in bed (it’s an age thing and he is learning)

My husband wants to help so I can somehow sleep better and not feel so overwhelmed that I can’t sleep until I pass out from exhaustion at 1 am. He wants to help so I am not so overwhelmed (which I am stressed lately~)

He suggested a few chores around the house~ I don’t feel right with that. He busts his azz at work.

What is appropriate here? I appreciate him wanting to help I just feel bad asking him to do anything around the house~
Guy that is perfect~ I wouldn’t feel bad with that. doing night time baths and bedtime? Is that good?

Can a person die of exhaustion, heart attack etc if they haven’t slept, if they have insomnia or are sleep deprivated?

I am fine in every other way when it comes to health – I exercise, eat regular meals, take multivitamins. However, is there a certain mineral, nutrient, or vitamin that, when someone is lacking in it, would make someone tired?

My job isn’t super strenuous, so I don’t think it’s exhaustion from work.

What does it mean that I havent had dreams in over a year? I’m looking for a solid answer, not exhaustion or stress. I know that dreams are essential for the brain to recharge, so why havent I had any?

This past Wednesday, my symptoms started to develop. They include:
- Severe exhaustion, but insomnia at night
- Sore throat and cough to the point that my throat is bleeding a little
- Runny nose
- Intense body aches
- Headache
- High fever (103.2 and I never really get fevers)

** There have been a few cases of H1N1 at my school.

Should I get checked for H1N1 or other illnesses, or wait a little longer? Thanks!!
Also chills and vomiting.

I’ve been from doctor to doctor and we’re still working on what on Earth is wrong with me – I’m having increased fatigue, by now it can be called exhaustion. I can’t concentrate, at times I can barely lift my arms or walk, and sometimes I find myself slurring my words I’m so tired. I had a sleep study done and they found that I have more REM sleep than normal and the onset is much quicker. Rather than having increasing time periods of REM sleep, mine are uniform and last a long time. My sleep specialist has ruled out narcolepsy because the onset is not severe enough, but says that the information indicates only that I am very tired, though of course this is something to continue looking into. I literally need 15 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period to function properly, while only a couple years ago I needed about 7. When I search around online for sleep disorders having to do with REM, the only thing that I find is REM Behavioral Disorder, having to do with a lack of REM, and as a result acting out the dream. I do not have that.
What other disorders are there that either result in exhaustion and an increase in REM sleep or just the latter?

Clearly, Michael was overmedicated and perhaps in mutual exhaustion his "physician" finally administered the propofol on top of everything else.

My question is – what do real doctors do to treat someone whose insomnia is unresponsive to medications – is this such a rare circumstance that it’s a rehab situation most of the time?

Okay, I have had insomnia for the past 5 years, and it’s getting unmanagable. I am not a candidate for medication, because I have medical problems that would make it a dangerous situation. Basically, I could take the right amount and overdose, or I’d sleep for 16 hours straight (this has happened.) And, on the rare occasion I do fall asleep without ‘passing out’ from exhaustion, I have these horrible nightmares that make me: wake up, talk, or kick my boyfriend in the groin.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have tried: exercise (worked for a few months, then made no difference), teas, music, removing the electronics from my bedroom, meditation, sex, St Johns Wort (made me sick), lavender sprays on pillows, eating a small turkey sandwich at night, and things I can’t even recall.
