-- Posted by Anonymous at 3:22 am on Oct. 13, 2008 Ok i normal get 4 hours of sleep a night, why? because i have problems falling sleep and staying a sleep. My doctor gave me medicine for it, but after 2 weeks my body learned how to fight it off, so im back to my old sleeping habbits, now she doubled the dose and itll knock me out, but if i wake up to like pee or toss and turn im wide awake. My lack of sleep is affecting me so bad ive missed atleast a week and a half of school already (through out the year so far). Sometimes when i wake up to get ready for school i will literally cry because im so tired and my eyes are killing me. What should i do? im at the point of breaking now -- Posted by pwincess unome at 3:26 am on Oct. 13, 2008 at night take a bath that relax me and helps me sleep!!! or have a nice light hot drink. -- Posted by amymcleod at 3:27 am on Oct. 13, 2008 Everyone has differant natural sleeping patterns, the medication your doctor gives you proberbly will just be sleep aids wich dont have a natural affect. i also have alot of trouble getting too sleep because i have insomnia. when your having trouble falling or staying asleep, or you wake up feeling unrefreshed, you may be suffering from insomnia.  It may be caused by stress, anxiety, depression, disease, pain, medications, sleep disorders or poor sleep habits. Your sleep environment and health habits may also play a role in your sleep problems so if i were you i'd try something else. -- Posted by i r sekz at 3:36 am on Oct. 13, 2008 Tell her to switch the dose. Your symptoms are not nearly as bad as mine.  I use to wake up in the middle of the night unable to move and hallucinating like crazy.  Fuck Ambien.   -- Posted by Poker Shark at 3:50 am on Oct. 13, 2008 Ask for Remeron at 15mg. Knocks you the fuck out and no problem of your body learning to fight it. It was too strong and long lasting for me I just take regular sleeping pills now just once a week so they don't stop working. I take like 4 Halcion at a time though and they still don't work that well lol.
