bad sleepers please come in
Im such a bad sleeper. Its been so much worse after the baby. I either cant fall asleep or cant stay asleep,. Ive tired many remedies but its still very fustrating. Lately I havent been having trouble falling asleep but I would wake in the middle of the night and it takes me a very long time to get back to sleep and I get fustrated. Luckily Im not too tired during the day but I just want to sleep a full nights sleep with out any issues. Who knew sleeping would be such a difficult aspect of my life. Anyone else a bad sleeper?

Re: bad sleepers please come in
ME. Like you I have no problem falling asleep but I don't stay asleep.
I'm up a few times a night for no reason. I will be sound asleep than next thing I know I'm sitting straight up wide awake. I'll walk around the house a little than get back into bed and fall back asleep.
I don't even remember the last time I slept through the night.

Re: bad sleepers please come in
Me!!! My DH thinks there is seriously something wrong with me. All I want is to be able to sleep through the night. I have no problem actually falling asleep, it's the staying asleep I have issues with. I'm up a minimum of 2-3 times in a 7 hour span. It sucks royally. I can only imagine it getting worse once we have kids

Re: bad sleepers please come in
OMG, yes me. I go to sleep no problem...staying a sleep not so easy. I get up like 3 times a night. The last time I slept the whole night was on vacation, and that was because we were wiped from 10hrs of travel. DH is worse, he can NOT sleep for days on end. We are a sad bunch I tell ya.

Re: bad sleepers please come in
So I'm not the only one!!! I wake up 3-4X's a night, I never feel like I sleep for an extended period of time. I am also the lightest sleeper ever, so pretty much anything will wake me up. But even if its quiet I still wake up. It does affect me during the day, I am usually tired, but I have been this way for years.

Re: bad sleepers please come in
You might want to try the supplement Melatonin- available in the vitamin aisle.
It's natural and safe- and it doesn't make you feel drugged in the least- just helps you establish sleeping patterns.
I swear by it!

Re: bad sleepers please come in
I am a terrible sleeper. I am usually awake at 2:30am. If I am lucky, I will fall back asleep by 5am. Otherwise I am up until I go to bed the following night.

Re: bad sleepers please come in
i have both problems as well..
i have taken lunesta (4 months up to the wedding) and now im on rozerum (although i think thats making me break out like a teenage girl )
they do help me fall /stay asleep but not so much the stay, i guess falling back asleep once awakened..
i have gotten better on falling asleep since taking these.. i think my bodys finally realizing its ok to sleep
the melatonin and rozerum work good but you have crazy vivid dreams on them
its horrible not sleeping right makes me a very cranky and angry person some days.. i just wish i could sleep on my own like the good old days (umm 3 years ago? maybe more at this point)
i think once we buy our house and i quit my awful job that i can sleep like a normal person again...
but i def. recommend giving melatoin a shot.. its natural and doesnt make you dependant on it

Re: bad sleepers please come in
i've had insomnia for 11 years and was on ambien for 7.
please be careful with "natural" remedies. they can be as/more dangerous than prescribed narcotics. i used to take a "natural herbal supplement" (don't remember which--kava maybe?) and had such intense heart palpitations and pain that i threw them in the garbage immediately. i won't take ambien anymore either, but at least those are regulated by the FDA. and check with your doctor first if you're TTC/pregnant/BFing.
i also tried rescue sleep, but that didn't help
i've tried many different therapies and sadly, none of them have cured me, they only lessen the symptoms so now i just suffer through the night without taking anything

Re: bad sleepers please come in
I used to wake up at 4am and 7am every morning. Now I have a little friend called xanax and I sleep through the night. I know that is not xanax's main purpose but it is a non-narcotic and the dr. told me if it works, go for it.

Re: bad sleepers please come in
I am a horrible sleeper as well-- I cannot remember the last time I slept through the night.
I blame it on stress mostly.
