i'm bipolar,,,guess that's why for me. i take seroquel and there is no way i can sleep without it. i've had three car accidents from falling asleep at the wheel in the middle of the day. i think i have trouble slowing my brain down enough to sleep. i am incapable of relaxation without some kind of help.

I think it's because of my stress and anxiety. I feel like I've got the weight of the world on my shoulders so I have a million things running through my mind all night long. The fact that my bed is really uncomfortable (and I can't afford a new mattress) doesn't help, either.

As far as I can tell its nothing and everything, sometimes I just lay there watching the minutes go by sometimes its something bothering me. I have treid multiple sleeping aids both over the counter or prescribed but nothing seems to work.

Ditto ... Ditto ... Ditto ... LOL From PTSD to racing thoughts, unable to relax enough to actually sleep, fear of the haunting memories that show up when I do snooze a few hours, and so on. Unfortunately we all seem to share the "GRRRRRR" of the same vicious cycle ... may you all find enough peace to rest soon (heck even 20 min. would be nice!!!) ... issues2

    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...
