I'm 17 just finished year 12 with a part
time take away job full time I have just
got my second writen warning for being
late for work.Im starting to think im not
just lazy, at night just cant get to sleep
I lay in bed for 3 or 4 hours tossing and
turning I cant sleep, I cant stop thinking
I cant relax I get cramps in my legs and I
just get so angry, upset and grumpy then I
get to sleep and once im asleep I dont
want to wake up if my dad doesnt wake me I
will sleep for days. When I get up I
cant function im tired all day I cant seem
to keep focused on the tasks at hand. I
come home from work and im stuffed and I
still cant sleep I dont want to go on
sleeping pills because I dont like to rely
on pills. Am I really just lazy or is
something really going on. Can anyone
help ?

you're experienceing symptoms of insomnia
which are leading to chronic fatigue,
which is making you irritable/grumpy/etc.
i totally understand where you are coming
from with not wanting to take the meds
because i really hate taking meds (ironic
how this lead me to start pill popping).
However, coming from someone that has
taken hours to fall alseep her whole life,
you either have to take pills or just
learn to deal with it. i've done both
niether are fun options, but i guess
dealing with it allowed me something else
to be angsty about =)

Perhaps you should have a sleep study
done. Insurance usually covers the cost.
You could have restless legs syndrome.
The "cramps" could also be from a
potassium deficiency - try eating a banana
or having some orange juice before bed.
Hope this helps.
