Resolved Question

Do you have trouble sleeping and why?

I can't freakin' sleep and I'm in zombie mode! I have horrid dreams and wake with the feeling that someone is standing either above me or in my room.

Yeah, I've had that a couple of times too. Do you feel temporarily paralysed when you wake up after those nightmares? If so, it's called sleep paralysis.

I can't sleep till about 4:00am nowadays, so I'm a zombie when I have to wake up early too. I might have something called delayed sleep phase syndrome, but I'm not sure.

chris914	Posted Apr 11th, 2009 at 9:12PM My anxiety level is way up right now. So I have been having trouble sleeping. But even when things are normal, I can't sleep unless I have the TV on. It distracts me. If I try to sleep in a quiet room, I'll never get there.... Rated: +1Vote for this!
Socklord	Posted Apr 11th, 2009 at 9:23PM Yes, because I'm an alcoholic. I wake alot, even when I don't drink. I don't generally have nightmares. I have bloody, violent dreams, but they don't scare me. I get scary dreams aout confusion, and just general I-Don't-Know ****.Somethin is happening, an I don't know why, or what is happening.

joynick2000	Posted Apr 11th, 2009 at 9:57PM I am actually sleeping better than normal latly. I either go to sleep at twelve and wake up at 5.30 or go to bed at 10.30 and wake up at 3. I was a lot worse before. I'd go to sleep at twelve and wake up at 2 or 3. Soemtimes I didn't even make that! My worst sleep was when I got less than an hour in two nights.

cntryloner	Posted Apr 12th, 2009 at 12:32AM Nearly all my life. I am one of those "highly stressed" people. Most of it is my own fault. I worry about things that I have no control over. I've used white noise, nature sounds, sleeping pills etc.... Even sheer exhaustion does not work I only cat-nap. My Dr does not know what to do with me. Rated: +1Vote for this!
lepamplemousse	Posted Apr 12th, 2009 at 12:59AM I've had trouble sleeping for as long as I can remember. In my case, it probably is an actual melatonin deficiency . . . or the internet. It seems like that's always where I am late at night. Rated: +1Vote for this!
mzkaylz	Posted Apr 12th, 2009 at 1:11AM Hell yes. I'm always in pain, not tired, or overtired. I always feel anxious or like i need to think about something or do something. And i hate the dark :[ Rated: +1Vote for this!
identitytwo	Posted Apr 12th, 2009 at 1:27AM I have trouble falling asleep, once I do I usually sleep alright. My mind races, it never feels right to shut off. Recently after staying up way to long I had to listen to the song "tomorrow never knows" by the Beatles as I tried to get to sleep.

fantadisco	Posted Apr 14th, 2009 at 8:10PM I always have trouble sleeping. I think it's usually either due to caffeine or anxiety. I find that if I'm really anxious, or my heart is beating fast i can't sleep. or if I'm thinking too much. I have to be like, passing out tired, or super relaxed and stress-free to sleep.
