HELP?! I have chronic sleeping disorder!!!!?

I can't sleep. Even if i try to. I Lay in bed at around 11 or 12midnight and I end up falling asleep around 3 or 5am anyways and I wake up at around 7 to 9am.. even if i don't want to wake up.. I just can't go back to sleep after that. I only get 3 hours of sleep all day. Even if i'm extremely tired, I still can't go to sleep. I'm gonna start looking like a zombie pretty soon please HELP!!!! I don't know why, I'm not really stressed out. I'm happy.. I'm usually active. Oh and I ALSO have RLS (restless leg syndrome) i think that's what it stands for. I heard that's also related to sleep disorders.

i would get a doctor to get some sleeping pills for you... try laying in bed earlier (u prollly wont fall asleep until the same time, but it gets ur body to relax a little bit more)
a routine is essential. before you go to bed EVERY NIGHT listen to some music or read a book or take a shower... do smth that u do EVERY NIGHT before bed that will let your body know it's time to sleep.
smth that helped me was changing the temperature. i sleep better when it's really really cold and i get a ton of blankets... it's relaxing and is one of the things that helped me to get over insomnia.

ok, so you have INSOMNIA? try some lavendar oil under your pillow

drink like 8 red bulls then when u crash take a sleepin pill.

Go see your doctor, ask about "Ambien".

Ambien

Generic Name: zolpidem (zole PI dem)
Brand Names: Ambien, Ambien CR
What is Ambien?

Ambien is a sedative, also called a hypnotic. It affects chemicals in your brain that may become unbalanced and cause sleep problems (insomnia).

Ambien is used to treat insomnia. This medication causes relaxation to help you fall asleep and stay asleep.

Ambien may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
What is the most important information I should know about Ambien?
Ambien may cause a severe allergic reaction. Stop taking Ambien and get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Ambien will make you fall asleep. Never take this medication during your normal waking hours, unless you have a full 7 to 8 hours to dedicate to sleeping.

Some people using this medicine have engaged in activity such as driving, eating, or making phone calls and later having no memory of the activity. If this happens to you, stop taking Ambien and talk with your doctor about another treatment for your sleep disorder.
Ambien can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. You may still feel sleepy the morning after taking the medication. Until you know how this medication will affect you during waking hours, be careful if you drive, operate machinery, pilot an airplane, or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. Do not drink alcohol while you are taking this medication. It can increase some of the side effects of Ambien, including drowsiness. Ambien may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Ambien should never be shared with another person, especially someone who has a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it.

It is dangerous to try and purchase Ambien on the Internet or from vendors outside of the United States. Medications distributed from Internet sales may contain dangerous ingredients, or may not be distributed by a licensed pharmacy. Samples of this medication purchased on the Internet have been found to contain haloperidol (Haldol), a potent antipsychotic drug with dangerous side effects. For more information, contact the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or visit www.fda.gov/buyonlineguide.

Try a melatonin tablet one hour before bedtime, and keep your room really dark.

Did you ever notice if you pay more attention to something it either happens more or you notice it more? Like if you see a kind of car you'd like to buy, suddenly you start seeing them all over the place! Your situation is similar. First of all..the majority of people with your situation find it to be temporary...could be weeks or months...but it's still temporary. I was exactly like you for a long time..with periods of doing better with it, but it never really seemed to get better till I decided to stop worrying about it. (I mean I would dread going to bed!) I've learned alot since then..

Anyway...first off...if RLS is an issue of some sort, my first response is to get some better nutrition into you. Vitamin deficiencies can cause pretty much all your symptoms..so that would be a start. Calcium and magnesium...both help with initiating and maintaining relaxed sleep patterns and not getting enough of either can cause the constant waking up. Yogurt, OJ, Cottage Cheese- calcium pills - all after dinner time work best. The other would be a good B vitamin as it helps with the nervous system...taken daily (also both of these will help with the leg issues). This may take a little time before you notice a huge difference...but get started and keep it up! Also you say you are active but some regular exercise can't hurt either.

The other thing is to instead take advantage of some of the sleeplessness. Once I stopped 'worrying' about it...I got better much faster. So I started reading in the middle of the night...finished lots of books, did homework, watched tv or movies...organized my room...etc...what eventually started happening is I would have a few nights of at least 5 hours of sleep! I was excited...plus I knew I was going to be ok.

Try not to label yourself with a disorder just yet...instead use it as a wake up call to treating yourself better in general...
