    I am 47. I have slept walked since age 6. Insomnia so bad I have been awake for three days and averaged 3 hours on a good night. I have broken limbs and left the house. I have been on medicine for almost 20 years for neuralgia. It helps me nap throughout the night. The things we take for granted. My sleep talking is waking my whole house. I’m sure my autoimmune problems stem from these sleep problems. Thanks for this post. Sleepless in Boston

    Even if i sleep at some point during the night I'm still exhausted during the day and need to take a nap or two if I'm not working. When I work I just push through but I just want to sleep all the time! It's inconvenient.

      Hi there,
      That is sad to hear. There are several reasons why the human system may react in that way, for instance, diet (lacking nutrients or minerals e.g iron deficiency that leads to fatigue and can be corrected by eating organic foods e.g organic beets) and a lack of sleep. Please consider the following:
      • Water - Drink plenty of pure, clean water during the day to hydrate cells. Dehydration can mimic hypoglycemia, thus causing headaches, tiredness, and fainting spells. It will also flush out harmful chemicals, toxins, germs, viruses and other pollutants (avoiding artficial flouridated water due to the negative impact flouride can have on the brain - i believe). If possible, also drink colloidal silver and gold (avoid purchasing colloidal gold from a different country as it may deplete in quality during transportation, from gathered information).
      • Caffeine products - Chocolates, coffee, green or black tea, energy drinks and anything containing the addictive and diuretic drug (flushes out calcium) should be avoided as it may affect your sleep and then birth fatigue after (stimulates and irritates the brain, heart and nerves). It would be better to drink organic peppermint tea in exchange of coffee if you are one that consumes that as a morning boost as it may awake you (based on personal experiene); smells good; and has other consuming beneficial properties, i believe.
      • Fresh air - Obtain as much fresh air as you can including sleeping with a window open and allowing it to circulate in your room freely as it induces sound sleep, gives clarity to the mind, improves concentration and boosts learning abilities. It also gives a sense of happiness and well-being by altering brain levels of serotonin.
      • Diet - Aim to adopt or opt for an organic vegan diet (preferably raw) that will supply the body with nutrients and minerals. Avoid eating before going to bed (eat atleast 4 or 5 hours before bed from my understanding) so as to fast during the night, giving your digestive system time to rest. You will wake up more refreshed and inclined to have your breakfast too.
      • Dark room - Help the body to produce melatonin (a hormone related to sleep) by making your bedroom as dark as possible e.g thicker curtains to block out blue light. Avoid using devices 1 hour before bedtime if they produce blue light and do not have blue light filter or an eye comfort shield feature.
      • Studying/reading - A schedule created to read/study before going to bed (non-fiction) can help to go to sleep as your brain will get tired and will be inclined to rest (the organ that controls your body), i believe.
      • Sleep routine - Aim for a 'sleep early wake up early schedule' and stick to it as it can help program the body to sleep during those hours, i believe, e.g sleep at 20:00 PM and wake up at 04:00 AM. 1 hour of sleep for recovery before midnight is better than 2 hours after.
      • Exercises - If you are one that has a sendetary occupation or lifestyle as opposed to physical, create time to exercise e.g brisk walking after a meal or press ups (preferably in the morning). This can help you get tired towards the end of the day and thus help you to sleep (the body will want to recover) and will strengthen your muscles, i believe.
      Best wishes

    I have bouts of extreme insomnia that switches to extreme sleepiness. I've had this even as a kid. I can go 3 days with getting only 6 hours of sleep. Then, the insomnia seemingly goes away. Then, I got this thing where as soon I get home from work I get extreme sleepiness. I'll drink coffee or Mountain Dew to try and stay awake, but I almost always fall asleep.

    I learned a lot, yet I didn't find out how to solve my issue. As an adult it is common for me to need 9-10 hours of sleep, and at the same time I have a very hard time falling asleep, and now my body is used to finally falling asleep at around 6 or 7 am and then waking up at anywhere from 4-5 pm. I have tried reversing my sleep by forcing myself to stay awake u til an appropriate time to fall asleep, and I have trie medications to force my body to sleep earlier, both of which have not worked, but actually exsasterbated the situation and made it worse! This sucks! It started when I was really young, I used to have night terrors, sleep walking, and crying out in my sleep, which made me afraid to go to sleep at night, and then a couple times when I was young I ended up sleeping for two days straight , and it seems to have made my sleep cycle worse ever since.

    I seem to fall asleep around 2 hours after sunset no matter how early or late the sun sets. Right now where I am the sun is setting around 6pm and so I'm falling asleep around 8pm. Most nights I simply can't stay awake longer. In June the sun will be setting around 9pm and I will be wide awake until 11 or 12 and literally can't make myself get sleepy earlier. I'm in my 60's and waking up during the night is very common now, so it is much harder for me to get enough sleep in the summer because I just can't fall asleep until much later at night. I can't find anything online even mentioning this sleep pattern. I do not have SAD, not depressed at all, just my sleep pattern is totally controlled by the time the sun sets.

      Hi there,
      I am sorry to hear that. I would not recommend opting to pharmaceutical drugs, that could have dangerous side effects. There are factors for one to consider that can include:
      • Dark room - Help the body to produce melatonin (a hormone related to sleep) by making your bedroom as dark as possible e.g thicker curtains to block out blue light. Avoid using devices 1 hour before bedtime if they produce blue light and do not have blue light filter or an eye comfort shield feature.
      • Studying/reading - A schedule created to read/study before going to bed (non-fiction) can help to go to sleep as your brain will get tired and will be inclined to rest (the organ that controls your body), i believe.

This can help you get tired towards the end of the day and thus help you to sleep (the body will want to recover), i believe.
      • Diet - Aim to adopt or opt for an organic vegan diet (preferably raw) that will supply the body with nutrients and thus may help balance hormones, resulting in one having less stress and inclinated to sleep, i believe.

It would be better to drink organic peppermint tea in exchange of coffee if you are one that consumes that as a morning boost as it may awake you (based on personal experiene); smells good; and has other consuming beneficial properties, i believe.
      Moreover, try and incorporate the above with consuming plenty of pure, clean water during the day to hydrate brain cells and flush out harmful chemicals, toxins, germs, viruses and other pollutants (avoiding artficial flouridated water due to the negative impact flouride can have on the brain - i believe). If possible, also drink colloidal silver and gold (avoid purchasing colloidal gold from a different country as it may deplete in quality during transportation, from gathered information).
      I hope that helps and please keep me updated on your situation if you can.

    I've been behind on my sleep that I sometimes get weird thoughts something is wrong with me and I Google and these scientists doctors scare me more, so I just pray and discipline myself to stay home and get some good old fashion sleep and it works. OTC sleep aids every now and then and catching up on sleep leave phone alone.

    For the love of god. I wake up 20 times a night. With waking nightmares. It takes me 3 hours Every single night just to fall asleep. The only thing that can put me out is if I drink too much and take Benadryl on top of my anti depressants. every night I get ready for bed and ask myself if I’m ready for the Freakshow. And then I just say fuck it and try to sleep. Every single night I wake up 20-30 times sweating and thinking I’m gonna die.

    @mariathunberg4743 2 года назад

    In Sweden doctors seem to think that there are only one type of sleep disorder and that is because of stress, overthinking and no exercise (maybe eating bad food too).
    So when I am going to the doctor with the problem I dont sleep at all without medicin to make my brain go down in to sleepmode they just do the same thing over and over and also give me trouble with not givning me medicin i need so last time they refused I went without sleep for nearly 2 weeks and was like a ghost. Now i get the medicine but now only half as strong so no wiggleroom if I have to visit places with lots of people and noices (cant have any type of stress at all because of to many burn outs and problems with brain).
    Realy want a referal to a neuro doctor but they still dont want to give me that.

I used to be ashamed of it cause my friends used to make fun of me.Some of them thought I was posesed .But I'm not ashamed of it now although it gives me headaches in the morning ...sometimes
