I’ve tried otc sleep aids and ambien and it doesn’t work.. and i’m going to doctors on the 12th of this month so wondering what I can ask her for. Also is there a set number of days with lack of sleep that your body will just collapse and fall asleep?

Persistent sleep problems?




I persistently have problems trying to go to sleep. I don’t watch tv before I go to bed and I avoid caffeine after 4 pm. I either can’t sleep til really late, like 3 am or so or I crash early and then still can’t wake up in the morning or if I do I’m exhausted.

I wake up with ugly purple bags under my eyes. I’m a young adult (21) but look 30 because of this. Not only that it’s beginning to affect my school schedule. Either I go to class exhausted and rarely feeling rested or I sleep through my alarm.

PLEASE help. I NEED to fix this insomnia problem!! I have a MUCH harder semester coming up this week and an exam this Monday…if I sleep in on Monday I’ll fail.

What are effective ways to treat this problem? I already have an eye mask but what else can I try? ie. techniques, drinks, etc

How often do you wash your sleeping clothes?




Hey guys i just wanted to know how often do u guys wash your sleeping clothes like pajamas. I mean the clothes that you wear after you take a shower when you come home from work or school. Its usually the clothes that i wear when i do my homework, eat dinner and watch TV, so im guessing its not that dirty since im not sweating. Will washing my sleeping clothes once a week enough?

I first noticed this when i would come home from boarding school freshman year. When I would come home, no matter how hard I tried, i could not fall asleep. I felt so paranoid about where I was, and would just walk around the house all night and watch TV. Why can’t I fall asleep, and what should I do so I can get the proper amount of sleep I need to function?

How long does effexor cause insomnia for?




I just started taking effexor on Thursday for depression, anxiety, muscle pain, and migraines. Before I started taking it I would always wake up early in the morning (6 to 7 am) and not be able to fall asleep but now I also am waking up about 4 times throughout the night and having a hard time falling back asleep. My question is will this go away after the 1st couple weeks of taking this drug or will I continue having insomnia the whole time?
I have always avoided taking pills but my depression/anxiety got so bad I just lay on the couch and watch tv day from the physical pain it causes me.
