Insomnia Support Group
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...
I am always tired.....i can't get to sleep at night forever, I'm exhausted but can't fall asleep. When I do fall asleep I wake up for every little sound. When I wake up I am back at square one and can't get back to sleep. I fall asleep between 2 and 3 am and wake up every hour. I get a phone call at 7:30 am and lie awake after that and if I am lucky finally fall back asleep and continue to wake up. If I am lucky I get about 5 hours of sleep. It's not enough. I've tried trazadone. I started taking one. It worked for a short time. Then it was 2 and now that doesn't work. My mom is a nurse and says that based on the dose I can't take more than 2. I have no job and no insurance so I can't get a new perscription. Tylenol Pm and benedryl do not help. Even Relafin (a muscle relaxer) has put me to sleep in the past and now it doesn't. Will I ever get good sleep 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...
Nothing seems to work for me for more than a night or 2 - if they even work then. Most of them make me ever more awake, if that's possible.
Tylenol pm, benadryl and unisom all have the same active ingredient, which I wish I would have noticed before trying any of them and wasting time and money. lol
I long for a full night of restful sleep. I'm always tired. But, even as a small child, I didn't sleep. It drove my parents insane :D
When I did sleep as a kid, it was nightmare filled and I'd wake everyone up with screaming or my sleepwalking.
Even now, I sleepwalk and have nightmares when I sleep more than a couple hours.
