I don't have trouble falling asleep. The problem I'm having is waking up and staying awake. I can set my alarm clock and not even hear it. I also tried putting it on the other side of the room. I end up turning the clock off without even knowing it. If I go downstairs I want to eat candy and sweet stuff. I usually will either return to bed or end up sleeping on the couch. I don't want to include my pills in this message. I think it's either my medications or I have a sleeping issue. I did have a sleep study done and the ENT doctor said that the results were mild on my adenoids. My mother has heard me breathing funny in my sleep and making noises. I also don't get up to pee in the middle of the night and usually sleep good. However, I did pee in my sleep and didn't know it until I woke up. That hasn't happened since. I'm also not sure if it's some other medical condition. Even when family members say things to me when I'm sleeping it takes me awhile to get up. Throughout the day when I take my other medications when I wake up it causes me to get sleepy. I try to eat and find things to do. I'll have some coffee and eat breakfast. I noticed that it's a weak feeling and if I don't fight it I'll end up in bed after waking up. The night time pills I take feel like they're knocking me out and drugging me up. Also the people in my house usually stay up and if I don't sleep then I'm usually up a few times. I'm not sure how to tell my Psychiatrist about the problems I've been having. They think it might be a lack of things to do since I'm currently unemployed. I've noticed even when I plan to go to the gym and set my clock it's not possible to do. I also had somewhere I had to be that was important and I missed the appointment. The medications I'm taking do work well with what is wrong with me. If I didn't have these medications it would be horrible for me. When I don't wake up I feel lousy and unhappy with myself.

Tell your Psychiatrist every thing. Be fully open. He may change those medications. This sounds very Medical.

Sounds difficult to live in a sleepless home. On top of everything else. I agree, mention this all to your dr.

I have sleep apnea and find it hard to wake up in the morning and to stay awake the whole day, sometimes i have to take a 3 hour nap at different time on any given day. I recently had another sleep study done and it showed no REM sleep. I was and am still on a apnea machine but the pressure was set to 10 now instead of 6. Maybe you can get another sleep study for sleep apnea? I know how hard it is if i had it my way id sleep the whole 24 hours of the day, and i'm waiting for the 10 pressure to begin working.
