How am I supposed to ever sleep?!


Question: How am I supposed to ever sleep!?
So I've had a sleeping problem since I was 11 or 12!. I can never fall asleep!. I've been reading articles where chronic insomnia is linked to things like depression, eating habits, anxiety, stress, etc!. I honestly have no idea what my insomnia could be linked to!. I am 22 years old and have normal stress like any other college grad!. I don't believe I have depression!. My eating habits are fine!. I exercise during the day, I ran track in jr!. high and high school!. I'm very busy during the day from work and studying (just graduated a week ago so was studying up until that point)!. I mean sure my sleeping schedule must be out of wack from the past 10 years of my teenage and young adult life but this is ridiculous!. I don't want to have to take Lunesta the rest of my life, or any pill for that matter!. I haven't taken it for 2 months and I am getting about 3-4 hrs of sleep a night!. They say it's not a disease but it sure feels like it!.!. advice please!?!?!? I've tried about everything!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I suffer from chronic pain and anxiety!. The lunesta worked for me for about two months, then I kept waking up every few hours!. Are you sure it isn't anxiety!? That really messes with sleep!. I take xanex, but you are so young, side effects of this drug are memory loss!. I have been on it for eight years!. All I can suggest is yoga and meditation!.
Take care~
