I use to be your standard computer geek insomniac, up til 4:00 or 5:00 am regardless, then finally I would fall asleep. Now, the tables have turned and fast. Within the month I started waking up earlier and earlier. First it was 9:00, then 8:00, then 7:00, now I am waking up at 2:00 am, so I was compensating by going to sleep earlier and earlier, which started to cause problems with my my wife since we never saw each other.

Now, I am having problems getting to sleep, and slowly I fall asleep later, 10:00 , then 11:00 now midnight, but I still wake up at 2:00 a.M, next week it wil lbe 1:00 am, in the last week, I have had a total of 17 hours of sleep.

I walk around in a daze all day, everything is blurry and I can't hold my eyes open, but when I do close them, no sleep. So I have stopped driving, and I run a high-tech business that is starting to fail, I am becoming incapable of doing anything, or at least my actions are of that of someone running on a week of 17 or less hours of sleep.

I am on several medications from a past injury. I take soma for muscle damage, and I have temporal lobe epilepsy, which I take klonopin and keppra for. I started the keppra after the sleep issues started, so that isn't a factor, and the soma and klonopin I have been on for over a year. With these medication, one would think I would sleep like a baby.

Lately, I have tried lunesta, ambien and ambien-cr, with no real affect. All did put me to sleep but I was still waking up earlier every day, and now they don't affect me.

Today is my 1st year anniversary, and I can't see straight. I have tried resting and I can't.

My doctor who is also a sleep specialist is at a loss of what to do. Please point me in the right direction before my life is completely ruined.
