Sleep Issues :: Having Trouble Sleeping - On Antidepressants
I've been on antidepressants for my mental health but I've not been able to sleep, there are days I can sleep 2-3 hours but then there are days I am unable to sleep at all. I've tried relaxing before bed, warm milk, clearing my mind before bed, having a bath etc but those aren't helping. I don't want to take sleeping tablets due to my other medication. Has anyone got any advice or tips to help me just a little. I've had trouble sleeping for 6+ years.

I know I am not going through my Menopause, I just can't get a good night sleep. I don't like to take meds but have tried in the past and also have tried herbal remedies. I also have tried with having a bath before going to bed, as well as having a milky drink before going to sleep.
I have also had CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) which helps with mindfulness and breathing techniques but just can't get my sleep.
Trouble Sleeping For No Reason? Depression? Sleep Therapy?
I have some, well a lot of trouble sleeping, i get into bed around 10pm with no t.v or anything so my mind is not pre occupied and stopping me from nodding off but come 4 am I'm still wide awake laying there somewhat tired? Sometimes I'm not tired at all and sometimes I feel like death warmed up..
Around a year ago I used to be able to get in bed whenever I was tired put some tele on, set the timer and just drop off but now, nothing.
Had a consultation with my Gp, at first he said it could be stress at my age or due to me growing, so he just suggested buying some over the counter sleeping pills, so that's what I did, took them for two months, sometimes even taking 2/3 times as much as I should just hoping for a few hours sleep, but they had no effect on me at all, So I went back and he gave some prescription sleeping pills, I forget the name it's been a while.
Well long story short they didn't work either and I'm in no position to pay for sleep therapy?
I drink no forms of caffeine in the day, I only drink water. I exercise at least an hour a day without fail?
Anyone have some similar issue? and if so what can I do to get some sleep, It's really getting me down in the day because I can't function properly, simple things like reading become an issue and i get somewhat emotional and angry with myself, so as you can imagine that also impacts the next night's sleep.
-Ellis... P.s It's 5 Am and I'm not leaving bed as i'll have to get up soon to go to work but I've not even had 10 minutes sleep

I made an appointment for therapy. They said they would call me back, so..fingers crossed! Where I'm at right now, it's 3:23 AM and I can't sleep.. I've been trying to sleep for almost 2 hour's now. Every time I try to close my eyes & just relax, my heart starts beating fast, I get a slight lump in my throat feeling, and my head/neck feels tingly. I also, get a panicky feeling. It's driving me crazy. This always happens when I need to be up at a certain hour.

I find it really hard to sleep at night, It almost like my body is exhausted but my brain won't shut off.
I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and one of the symptoms is insomnia. I can't sleep at night but when i finally get to sleep and my brain has shut down when it comes to getting up in the morning for work, I can't. I sleep through alarms, people could be screaming down my ear, world war 3 could be happening and i wouldn't wake up.
Trouble Sleeping At Night - Depression?
So my whole life i have lived with my grandma and grandpa. A year ago my grandad died. Since then my grandma has been feeling very sad and lonely. I never had this problem with sleeping until the past 4-5 months, where i just stay up until 4-6 AM even though i go to bed around 12o'clock. I just play video games and in the weekends i go out with my friends and party. I am a student in college and me not being able to sleep at nights is preventing me to attend properly in School, I just skip classes more and more even though i want to do good. When i look at the big picture i just find it so depressing, this life i'm having even though I don't think i suffer from depression. I'm just unable to sleep at nights, this is a major problem to me. I don't know now what i should do, move to my mom in England?

I am taking beta blockers. I have had a heart attack couple of days ago and I guess beta blockers I have to take as prevention. No one needs a heart attack, right? But, even in that short period of time, some side effects occurred, I had trouble sleeping. Although, I have to admit that I am not sure if this was because of the stress or because of the beta blocker.

View 5 RepliesFluoxetine :: Tired But Trouble Sleeping
I've been on fluoxetine for over 2 weeks now. At first I was ok, a little tired in the day but I could sleep right through the night with no problems.
The past few days I've had some good days and not napped through the day as I've felt good (emotionally and physically) but then as of Sunday night the tiredness knocked me. I'm really tired all day and when I get to sleep at night I wake up every few hours and struggle to get back to sleep, meaning I'm more tired in the day again
I take my tablets at night time as it helped a bit more than in the morning
Has anyone else experienced this? If so could the doctors help or do you have any natural ways of overcoming it?

I've had my bypass surgery finally. I waited very long for this to happen. I was not an urgent case though, but still I was very nervous about this. I’ve been told I will get my surgery done in about a month and it turned out that I had to wait for two more months. I was scared something may go wrong while waiting. Luckily nothing did and I’m ok now. I’m recovering. The only things that bothers me is that I haven’t been able to sleep. What are your experiences when it comes to troubles sleeping after bypass surgery?

View 2 RepliesTrouble Sleeping - Heart Begins To Pound
Over the past two weeks or so I've had a very hard time falling asleep because of my heart. When I lay down to go to bed, my heart begins to pound very loudly and very irregularly. I can feel it through my whole body, and no amount of breathing exercises or relaxing music seems to help. I did just get diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism, for which I am seeing a doctor on Thursday, and I also was diagnosed with Mono a few weeks ago. But this is seriously killing me sleep, and it's freaking me out.
I am well aware that this could be just a sign of stress. I've seen a psychologist in the past, and she taught me ways to try and combat anxiety attacks. None of the things she taught me work on this. I lost my little brother to cancer, back in October of 2013, and since then I've developed a fear of dieing in my sleep like he did. But there are NO other signs of anxiety when I am trying to sleep. My heart just begins to beat out of order on it's own accord.
Oh, some basic health info about me would probably be helpful. I'm 21 year old female. 190 pounds, five foot seven inches, so I'm considered "obese" I suppose. Gallbladder removed at 19, tonsils removed at 2. I work a 3rd shift job stocking shelves and other heavy lifting tasks at a 24 hour walmart, but because of my Mono I am not allowed to work again until May because of the risk of rupturing my Spleen.
