for the past 2 weeks i have been getting bout 1 hour - 1 and half our of sleep a night and i will wake up and cant fall back alseep. does this mean i have insomnia or stress or depression etc? (no i dont drink, smoke, do any type of drugs) i am only 13 by the way
I have been under a ton of stress lately and have trouble sleeping because I am constantly thinking of my problems.
What is some good music to help me forget about my many problems and just relax?
This is a high stress time. I’ve been diagnosed as depressed. Insomnia is really bad, to the point I dread going to bed. As soon as my head hits the pillow, my mind goes into high gear. Although I have a hard time losing weight normally, I’ve been dropping weight like you wouldn’t believe. Has anyone taken medications for problems like this, & was it effective? I finally got an appointment with the doctor this Friday. I’d appreciate recommendations from anyone. Thank you!
I’m a 17 year old girl and in the past I would usually go to bed around anywhere from 12:30-1:30 and wake up around 6:40… so that’s about 5-6 hours of sleep and I’d be fine. But ever since September for some reason I’ve been getting the same amount of sleep and I fall asleep everywhere. I know I’m not narcoleptic but I will be sitting in the front of my class and fall asleep right in front of my teacher, it’s shocking to even me! I know I don’t get nearly as much sleep as I need for a teenager but I’ve been fine in the past! Does anyone know of a stress related sleep disorder? I think the increase in amount of school work and college applications has something to do with it!
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?
You know, the one that soothes and relaxes your stress and helps you sleep better…
I’m thinking of buying it but dunno what it’s called
I’m curious if any of you might know what could be wrong with me? Have any of you experienced this?
I just got married 6 months ago…we didn’t live together before, but we spent weekends together. Apparently, since the beginning, I am occassionally abusive to him when I’m asleep… kicking, hitting, shoving, and even went as far as pushing him off the bed the other day (although, I still think the kittens had help with that!). I have no idea what I’m doing because I’m out cold.
We have a queen size bed. We know we need/want a king size, but don’t have the money right now.
Also…he tends to try to cuddle with me a lot…which can be nice, but he tries it all the time…not sure if it’s just getting to me on nights when I need my space.
Finally…we are both under a TON of stress…
Could this be signs of a sleep disorder? How do I get over it? What has worked for you?
Serious answers only, please.
I do not see my worries and stress reducing anytime soon so I think I need to be more drastic.
However, I do NOT want to take anything which will be required to sleep for the rest of my life. I have heard that Melatonin is not addictive and I have some available now but I wanted to make sure…
Btw my problem is not with staying asleep, its getting to sleep. No matter how tired I am, I always hear my 1 hour sleep timer on my ipod switch off but I force myself not to open my eyes and ‘clock watch’ so I could be lying awake for much longer.
i would like to know how. i am in the army and have a lot of stress on my shoulders and i would love to know how to do this.

When I’m stressed out, I can’t sleep, no matter how tired I am! I take a non-habit forming sleeping pill sometimes. What else can I do? Also, when I’m under a LOT of stress I have horrific and disturbing nightmares. Help!
We recently moved/bought a new house, yes there is a lot of stress, right now.
I live in Alaska, but I’ve got extra heat (so I’m not too cold, just pleasantly warm), also, the curtains are thick, so it’s not light getting in.
Currently, I try to go to bed by 10, end up in bed, reading at 10.15. put away the book at 10.45. Stare at the ceiling for an hour or 2. My brain just won’t shut off. And it’s not "real" problems, but alternate endings to a movie I just saw (Monsters vs. Aliens was last night’s thoughts) or alternate scenes in a friend’s wedding. Or just random things that are almost like a prelude to dream/sleep, however I can’t seem to cross the line.
Last night I tried a double shot of vodka, and that has helped the most. I was only awake until 1 am (however from 11.30-1 am was me so tired I was twitchy).
HELP!!! This has been going on for 2 weeks, now, and I’ve missed a day of work because of it. Once I’m asleep, I can stay asleep (kind of), however I can’t sleep in the mornings because of work. (the one day I did I slept for 6 additional hours) Also, I’m hitting that delayed reactions/stupid phase, where I’m nervous about driving a car, and I tend to put my head down on file cabinets when I’m waiting for the computer to go ping…
I had drink a plenty of red wine every night for a year? Then I day I stoped and suddenly the second day I started to have insomnia. Almost 3 months. I try valerian and melatonin only sometimes works. Now I still don’t know the reason that I can’t sleep well because when I don’t need to work next day I sleep better. Maybe job stress.
Don’t say to me I need 18 months to recover.
Lately I have had trouble staying asleep at night but no problem falling asleep. I already exercise daily and have tried everything from changing my diet(removing all caffeine and eating healthier) to eliminating all my stress. I don’t want to start taking those otc sleeping aides with all that crap in it that can develop dependability. Melatonin has been working great at giving me a full nights sleep and have seen no signs of dependability after i stopped using for a couple days. Is it safe to continue to use this?
Ok, so…. I’ve cut out caffeinated beverages(soda, iced tea, red bull), quit consuming alcohol, tried to keep the stress to a minimum by meditating before bed.
I still can’t seem to get to sleep at night? I know going through a breakup doesn’t help put the mind at rest, but after 3 months I should be getting back to a regular sleep schedule, right? I’m physically exhausted most nights, but wind up starring at the wall for hours. Does anybody have any surefire ways to get rid of insomnia without Tylenol pm, or other prescribed sleep aids? Oh, I also quit watching tv in my bedroom, and nothing.
Help
