I have become a terrible insomniac in the last 4 years. I was always a light sleeper, but usually got 5-6 good, solid hours, each night. Since then, I awaken (have no problem falling asleep), but when I do, whether it be a dog barking, cat making noise, whatever, I find it impossible to fall back to sleep. My mind starts spinning and I'm awake for the remainder of the night.

I have found that the worse it gets, the worse I get, and I "expect" not to be able to sleep, therefore, I don't. It is a vicious cycle.

I finally talked with my doctor about it and after going through some testing, he prescribed something for me. I can't take Tylenol PM, Excedrin PM, etc because it wires me to the hilt! Just the opposite of what I need. I don't take a sleep aid every night, but what he prescribed, helped. You may have to go through some testing for depression or other symptoms, but if you could get a non-narcotic, prescription drug, if this persists, it will help you.

If you don't sleep, you're going to have other health issues, I'm afraid. Please take care of you.
