This suuuuucks...for the past week and a half I have been sleeping TERRIBLY...I sleep for like 1-3 hours and then I wake up and toss/turn for the rest of the night. In the past 4 days I've gotten ~20hrs of sleep (and 5 of those were little naps I took during the day). I feel like a zombie.
My doc prescribed Sonata...I'm only supposed to take it if I wake up in the night, but I have to be able to get at least 4 hours sleep (its a short acting sleep aid)...so of course, last night I couldn't even get to sleep until 12:15, and I woke up at almost 4am...I have to get up at 7:30 so I couldn't take the pill.
I am so flippin tired...hopefully tonight I can get to sleep earlier and not wake up...or if I do, hopefully I wake up before 3:30 so I can take the pill.
Thanks for listening to me vent

Re: Insomnia
I was just telling FH about that this morning. For some reason I have been the same way lately. I think its stress (at least in my case) because I also have stressful dreams. (sometiems I remember or sometiems I just wake up feeing anxious) Last night it was about the wedding and then about my aunt and cousin. I dont´know if that could be the case with you. If it is I would try taking a day to just relax. If you´re a bubble bath type of person do that or read or something. Or maybe do something fun with FH. But don´t do anything stressful all day!! If this continues I want to try to do that at least for a half a day this weekend. I know that´s easier said than done though but you should definitely try. I hope you can get some sleep tonight!!

Never...I live to sleep. If sleeping were an olympic sport I'd be a triple gold medal winner. I told my MOH I was having insomnia and she told me my cure was to elope

Don't take this WITH Sonata but you can try melatonin before bed. That helps me sleep like a baby.

I actually took 3mg the night before last...and I was up ALL night tossing and turning...didn't even get the 1-3 hours I was getting.

Oh man...I'm kinda surprised they prescribed you Sonata though...Lunesta might work better. I toss and turn too but its never disrupted my sleep to the point you're at...It also could be the mattress/pillow. If you go back to the DR ask about Lunesta or a stronger Melatonin (5-10mg).

I asked about the Lunesta, he said he didn't want me to take something at the beginning of the night on the off chance that I wasn't going to wake up that night...so since the Sonata is only 4 hours worth of meds I can take it if I wake up...but only if I wake up before 3:30 haha
