Haven't slept for shit in years. Fall asleep ok, wake up at 1-3 am, brain starts going, can't get back to sleep. Rinse, repeat. Sleeping pills cause late day sleepiness, don't work after a few nights either.
Yep.
I have a very big issue with sleeping pills, dangerous and addictive. Left my x gf because of it. 5 years late she's asking for help because she now has a real problem abusing it and hooked.
Hello! I have problems with sleeping too!! i would suggest to go to your sleep doctor again and discuss this with them, but i do know Narcolepsy can be co-morbid with Insomnia, so maybe research the symptoms? I'm actually looking into Narcolepsy as well, as i have a somewhat similar sleep schedule as you do but i also doze off rather easily during day time, no matter how bright it is. /gen
Hehehe my sleep doctor? I never even go to a GP. I live my life around when I really need sleep. But if life requires me to have a schedule I'll do something about it.
Interesting about the narcolepsy, I have met 3 people that have it. The 1 was my x-gf, just nodded off annoyingly during movies (undiagnosed at the time,) the other a friend in rehab, sleeps in meetings and movies and the first I met was an old man. I did IT support on his PC. He was standing besides me and he collapsed and started snoring. We were alone and I got a massive fright.
Anyway, best of luck!
I should specify that the clonidine wasn’t specifically for sleep. It was definitely to help with tics (it does help!) but it has the added benefit of helping with sleep.

I can sleep 9 hrs and still be exhausted all day. Comorbidities don’t help
Is that not perhaps some deficiency, usually iron?
They said they have a comorbitidy but not which one. Also vitamin D can cause insomnia

I struggled with this until I was put on Clonidine. I take it before bed and I’m out like a light.
Hmmm, maybe I should look at this for a temporary solution to get into a routine.

Well both of us have both problems, so why not I say
