it is 6:30 am . I want to be up for church which is at 10:00. I just cant sleep when I want to do something the next day. I have been up now since 4:30 am. I wish I could sleep when I am supposed to and be awake and possibly alert when I am supposed to. Sleep meds just make me groggy and dopey, so I won't use them ARGHH!!!! Why can't I sleep 'normal'?
I didn't have sleep problems until after my MS dx. I've had bad insomnia for almost four weeks. I go to sleep fine but then 3-5 hours later I'm wide awake. Ambien does not help.
My neuro has ordered a sleep study. My hope is that this will get figured-out; nothing worse than wanting to sleep but being unable.
Sorry, I don't have any advice except to talk to your doc. Sleep is too important to us for us to ignore the problem.
