Q: Having Problems Falling Asleep
asked by: Tanis on May 9th, 2007

I understand that this might not be a disorder, but I am finding myself, in the past couple of weeks, to have a great amount of difficulty falling asleep.
When I go to bed, my brain instantly starts racing. I think about EVERYTHING, and it keeps me awakw all night until morning, around 5 or 6am, when I see the sun coming through my window, then I fall asleep. I sleep until 4 or 5 in the afternoon. And even when I am asleep, I wake up and start thinking again.
I try to go to bed earlier, but the same thing starts happening in my brain. Its like it doesnt shut down.
And all this lack of sleep and having nothing else to think about then life, I have become depressed. I dont want to take pills.. becuase to me that is even more depressing.. WHAT DO I DO Confused

You may want to try natural herbal remedies for insomnia as these work in a variety of ways. Some produce a sedative quality that makes your mind want to focus on sleeping, and others just completely clear your mind. You may want to check out my website for more information on insomnia.

I do that too. Are you stressed about something. I treid everything. Melatonin,ambien,lunesta,ZMA, calcium magnesium. I have a lot going on now so anxiety has something to do with it. The only thing that helps is when the doctor put me on ativan.
