I think it is b/c you are OVER TIRED!!!!

And now you just can not Fall asleep.

frequently, when a person falls asleep and wakes up in the middle of the night and can't return to sleep it's a sign of anxiety....

are you thinking about stuff when you wake-up?

feel better!

YES! This is exactly what I think it is, how do I make it stop?? Its weird b/c I go to sleep (with or without an ambien) wake up 4 hours later, then I get the headache, start feeling nauseous and then HAVE to lay down. But then I still only sleep like 4 hours...that is the most sleep Ive gotten at a time...4 friggin hours.

All I want is one night of sleep

Thanks!

I'm a rather type A person... I internalize stress.... I wish I knew how to get rid of it.... I get it pretty frequently.... at least 3X a year.

The only REAL way, is to work on the issue your anxious about..... and come to terms with it. THEN you'll finally

good luck

oh, and I suspect the ambien may make it worse, especially since your anxiety may be stronger than the pill.... that may be the cause of the headaches.....

I dunno for sure, it's just a guess. you totally shouldn't be waking up after an ambien. if you're awake and mid-ambien, I suspect it would give you a killer headache

I dont get the headache right after I wake up...I get it a couple of hours later but it would make sense that its the ambien fighting against me being awake

are you stressed? Thats the only thing I can think of...Ive been sleeping just fine but Ive been getting these terrible migraines and headaches and I think its due to stress. Ive never been truly stressed until now so Ive never had serious headaches...I dont know, just a thought...

Im sorry that you are experiencing this...if it continues maybe you should see a Dr.

Thanks Millie, I just need to figure out what is causing it and fix it

ETA: There is definitely alot going on, I guess I just need to figure out how to deal with it better

I feel your pain Peggie! I have been having so much trouble sleeping lately too ... no wonder we've both been on the boards at odd hours responding to random posts on BHB

I feel like I'm all the time, but I can't get myself to fall asleep. It suuucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to be medicated, Girl!!!!!

I'd die without sleep...

i'm generally anti-medcation but i agree, u definitely need to sleep!!! to be sleep deprived makes every day unbearable. maybe try melatonin first and see if that works?

I'm with you gals. I normally can go to sleep without an issue. For the last 3 months it has been a problem. I refuse to take a sleeping pill (not a pill popping type of gal). So I've been trying to ween myself away from the late night coffees. When I was younger having coffee at any hour never had a effect. Now that I am getting older I find this is not the case. Instead I've been replacing the coffees with wine (which always calmed me). This has helped a bit. I also read, draw a bath, play relaxing music, or have sex.

Peg I hope figure out what is behind the anxiety. Wishing you more hours of .

I'm the complete opposite!! All I wanna do is sleep!! I can sleep 12 hours and still want a nap 2 hours after waking up
