Hi, am new to this site. Have had sleep
problems for years, but never really
serious, a few missed nights here and
there. Recently I have had real problems
with sleeping. I have gone for up to two
days without sleep cos I cant get to sleep
but also at times slept for up to 32 hours
non-stop. Sleep pattern is non-existent
and trying to go to sleep at a
consistently regular time doesn’t work in
the slightest. Haven’t felt like i've had
enough sleep in months, even when I sleep
for a very long time. Also sometimes
sleep, (becoming more frequent) in a way
where I am not really asleep, a bit like
dozing but conscious of being asleep. Can
actively wake myself up from this state,
cos I have found that it makes me feel the
worst after I have got up. Often I feel
more awake after no sleep than if I have
sleep. So far have tried herbal nytol
which don’t work at all, but am a bit wary
of trying other drugs. Currently napping
is proving the best method of getting
sleep but it leaves me constantly tired.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
