I will be so exhausted I feel like I could fall asleep standing up then as soon as I lay down I am wide awake! then I have to get up check the doors the stove my daughter ... go to the bathroom get a drink... and on and on... then when I finally fall asleep the dreams start... honestly I love that I dream every night I love that they are so vivid and I dream so much that even when I start to have a bad dream I can stop myself from being scared I can tell myself its just a dream and talk my way out of it (lucid dreaming) I actually look forward to sleep because I feel more in control of my dream world than my waking life! but then its time to get up and I just can't pry myself out of bed! and when I do ugh don't mess with me for a while its the one time of day I can't control my temper! I feel like because of my dreaming I am not getting any real sleep... my doctor and I have been trying to get me into a sleep clinic for a while but the first time my insurance approved it the clinic had a 2 month wait list well within that 2 months I made to much money at work that my insurance dropped me ( 3 days before my appointment) so now that I have insurance again we are waiting for them to approve the clinic again! til that happens I have to deal with this anxious feeling before bed and the anger issue when waking .... Its not fair for my child to have to see me this way I feel awful everyday because we fight because I have no patiance for anything in the morning!!!

Other than waiting on a sleep study, what other steps have you taken as far as dealing with the intrusive nighttime thoughts that prevent you from falling asleep? Exhaustion does, indeed play a role in mood, are you seeking therapy? Has your doctor tried sleep meds?

right now she has told me to use my xanax to help clam my mind but I don't like using that for sleep worried I won't be able to sleep with out it if I use it to often. I use melatonin sometimes but like I said I already dream so much and so vivid it just makes it worse! LOL I am ADD so I think the falling asleep problem stems from that ...
