Sleep Problems? Need Help!?!
Question: OK, I'm a 20 year old female that has been suffering from severe sleep problems for about 2 years now. I can NEVER fall asleep easily. I don't remember the last time I just laid down and had a good night sleep. I've tried everything I can think of:
I haven't had any soda for 2 months.
I get lots of exercise during the day.
I don't bring my home phone or my cell phone into the room with me at night. (Used to be a big problem for me)
No matter what time I go to sleep, I always get up around 8-9a which REALLY sucks sometimes, because, like last night I laid in bed til 7.30a before falling asleep.
I've tried reading, listening to extremely relaxing music, even watching infomercials.
I don't know what to do to make my Dr. believe I have something going on with me.
Any suggestions??

First of all TELL your doctor you want your thyroid checked.Hyperthyroidism can cause severe sleep problems. If that is alright TELL your doctor you want to see a specialist. There are doctors that specialize in sleep problems. I have learned that with some physicians you need to really speak your mind or you won't get anything but lip service and a pat on the head. Its your health and body...demand that you get some help. Sleep deprivation can really cause severe problems. I know I've been there. Good luck
