Insomnia is a symptom, rather than a disease, and is characterized by inadequate quantity or quality of sleep. People with insomnia complain of difficulty falling or staying asleep, which results in significant impairment of daytime functioning. Insomnia is categorized as transient (shorter than one week), short-term (one to three weeks) or chronic (longer than three...
same time each night. At 2:15 I wake up and I can't go back to sleep. Does no matter when I go to bed I will fall asleep around 11:30 then I'm awake at 2:15. This will go on for about 2 weeks until I fall out usually on a Sunday afternoon wake up at 2:15 and start the cycle over.
ANY IDEAS!?

Same thing used to happen to me. I always used to wake up at 4:17 and no matter what I tried I could not go back to sleep! Good Luck

Something is bugging your brain. Have you tried any kind of sleeping meds? OTC, herbal, or Rx?

I can stay awake for up to three days straight then I sleep through for a day sometimes. It's either no sleep or all sleep.

I am on Ambien and all it does is gives me a buzz feeling and if it does put me asleep then I don't stay asleep. Any suggestions?

What happens before you wake? For me, it always bad dreams that wake me. You can almost set a clock by my wake ups each day.

I'd recommend Passionflower. If you get a good extract it might help you stay asleep at night. Slows the brain's activity.

Same with me. It used to be around 4am and then I would worry about everything -primarily being awake when I was tired and had to get up for work. Started taking ativan and it helped but now I need to increase the dosage and don't have dr.support so here I am at 3:49. am

I get it. 2:30 is my time. Usually wake up after some weird anxiety type dream (like I am teetering on a ladder or something totaly nervewracking). I take Ativan to go back and that is how I live my life. Couldn't get through w/o sedatives, pretty sad. I don't drink, I don't touch caffeine, I eat healthy and all that and still can't sleep so have to take sedatives, ain't that a bitch? I feel for ya...

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...
