DON'T FALL ASLEEP!!

Help!! Does anyone know of any drugs that the doctor could give me to help me stay awake during the day.

I have horrible insomnia and even when I do get sleep I cannot stay awake for anything. There are just certain times of the day that I just cannot hold it together.

If anyone knows anything please let me know so that I can do some research and have some suggestions for my doctor.

I need your input!

Have you talked to your doc about this?

Eternally when you do sleep is it possible that you have sleep apnea?

So your days and nights are mixed up? Not sure what you're saying. Your doc might help, though.

I found some information on Provigil Oral that might help:

I know what that's like. But it comes down to improving the quality of your sleep at night. Stimulants will make you jittery, irritable, and you still won't be able to think straight. If you want some advice on natural meds to try, pm me and we can talk about it. Believe me, I know insomnia like the back of my hand. :/

I do not have any information to give you on your problem but can tell you I have been recently wondering why you have not made your lovely smile known to us for awhile. I told my daughter how happy and joyful your smile makes me and she said Just look for her, mom, she will be back! It is good to see you again.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
