I just don't know what to do anymore! I see my p. doc tomorrow afternoon and I hope to get some answers because I am so sick and tired of my Mother being on my back about my sleep issues. In the last past 2 months (maybe a bit longer) I have had trouble sleeping at night and I get up usually very early. I only average about 5 hours or less of sleep a night. I usually wake up a few times during the night and I am sometimes up only a brief amount of time or I stay up for like an hour or more. Last week (Monday) it just suddenly got worse. My sleeping is down to just about 4 hours or less a night. I am getting up like around 4:15 - 4:30 am. I usually have to take at least two naps just to get through the day! I know this screws up my night time sleep, but I just can't function without them! I did talk with my primary care provider last week and she suggested Ambien CR, but my insurance won't cover it. Instead she said I should try Lunesta. I took it for a couple of nights and it just didn't help! I have tried the melatonin route and the antidepressant route (Trazadone, Seroquel, Neurontin, to name just a few). I am just at my wits end!! I am keeping a journal/log to show the doctor when I go to bed, when I am awake at night and when I get to bed at night. I also a have an additional one set up to record my thoughts and feelings about the night. Anybody have any other ideas that may help me? Anything would be VERY MUCH appreciated!
