So I have had problems for years trying to get good quality & quantity of sleep. I don't get tired at night, try to sleep but my mind keeps going. If I do sleep it's a few hours then up and going again. My PDoc has been helpful with this and I've tried many medications (from Anti-depressants to sedatives) that help or(or don't). Recently my PDoc is on a new kick and took me off my meds that help me sleep stating:
"When you're body's tired it will sleep". Really?
When I don't get sleep for a few days my anxiety will go up or my mood will plummet. That's great that it will 'eventually' happen but I have to work and function in society and sometimes my mind is not onboard with my body. Anyone believe that statement or heard it from their docs? I'm now at 1week without the meds and that's 1 week of 3-5 hours of sleep a night. Hoping it will regulate soon. Craving some good refreshing sleep. Any suggestions/thoughts?
