Cant sleep. Too many thoughts. ...scared?!
Question: Cant sleep!. Too many thoughts!. !.!.!.scared!?
okay, so I was suffering from a little insomnia about a month ago, ive always had a problem staying or falling asleep, but this is the worst its ever ever been!.
I thought maybe it was my futon, it was really uncomfortable!.
Then i went out and bought a brand new matress and GOD its comfortable, but i cant SLEEP!.
I have repetative dreams that give me headaches in the middle of the night, racing thoughs as if i just took sudafed!
when i take sudafed!.!.!.!.!.!.its awful!. my thoughts race through my mind, i toss and turn, its like my body has all this energy in my sleep,
but not its like this all the time, i cant fall asleep until real late, and more then half the time i cant stay asleep, and i wake up every hour on the hour!.
ive tried taking medication, nothing works, i tried exercising, that didnt work!.
ive tried eating before bed, that didnt work, i tried NOT eating before i went to bed that didnt work, hot showers, cold showers, no showers, nothing works!
and the worst part is, My dreams are nightmares, and alot of them are about work, bc i have a job that i absolutely despise, and its a cashier job, and i have dreams that everyone leaves the store open and they all leave and im just standing there cashiering for hrs and hrs and hrs and the people dont stop coming through my line, or ill have dreams that im in a weird building with no doors or windows, and when i do find a way out, something doesnt let me!.
I have huge bags under my eyes!.!.i look awful!.
people say its because im stressed, that could be it!.!.!.
i am really stressed out!.
I am having huge financial problems, a HORRIBLE job!. ( i really want to express the horrible)
I have NO friends, I dont do anything fun or exciting, Im broke!.
My boyfriends so busy i barely see him anymore!.
every day is the same!.!.!.
I dont know if this Bs has anything to do with the horrible nightmares and non sleeping!.!.!.!. thats the thing that pisses me off, when i do actually sleep, its a nightmare of some sort,
I finally get to sleep around 5 Am, and then i wake up at 10!.
My back is all sore and my body feels weak!.
:( i just made a sad face,Www@Answer-Health@Com

aww i am sorry i went trough the same thing a few years ago!.
So i know the feeling!.
Since you have already tried everything, i can only recommend you to go to sleep as early as possible!.
Try this:
Go to bed around 6pm!.
By the time its 11pm you will asleep promise
but only IF you turn everything off (tv, computer, lights) just as if 6pm was your regular bed time!.
Once your body gets used to shutting off at 11pm or so
you will no longer need to go to bed at 6pm!.
Becuase what is happening right now (other then the medical explanation to your problem) is that your body is used to the process of shutting off (or falling asleep) at 5am, so it will continue to do so!.
In the mean time just relax if you cant sleep, the more you over think and worry the less your body will be able to relax and sleep!.
Good luck and take it easy, life is to short!. Try and find a better job!. Try being a waitress fro example, its really fun, you get to meet a lot of people and it will keep your mind occupied at work!.!.!. So you wont get so bored or stressed thinking of other things going on =)

You should really have this evaluated at a Sleep Clinic!. Perhaps there is something they can do to help you!. Sleep deprivation is perhaps the worst torture!. I have a friend with aphnea and he is miserable!. Dunno if your condition is medical or psychological but seek help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Slow down girl! Take a deep breath!. I think once you deal with some of your issues, sleep will happen!.
I struggle with sleep myself!. Sometimes I think it's a head game with myself!. The more I worry about it, the more I get worked up and the more I can't sleep!. Try to relax about it!. You will not die today or tomorrow if you don't sleep!.
First I think you should deal with your financial problems!. Maybe some financial counseling or maybe you need to get another job!.
Second!. The boyfriend!. Find out why he doesn't have time for you!.
Third!. Everyone needs friends! Or at least one!. Try to find a coworker or maybe a family member you can talk to and do things with!.
Fourth!. Start exercising!. It may not help you sleep, but it will make you feel better about yourself!.
And last but not least, try to remember everything is not about you!. There are people in this world who have real problems, illness etc!. Maybe you need to volunteer some of your time!. This will help you get your mind off all of your problems and who knows!? You might make some friends along the way!. Good LuckWww@Answer-Health@Com
