I am new to this area, I know no one, I read a lot and surf the web, no tv; I have problems sleeping and eating. I cannot eat in the morning. Is this insomnia and loss of appetite connected with constant boredom?
bmac you are an idiot. I am not complaining about how things are so bad for me, I’m asking a question as to whether this is why I have no appetite and insomnia.
everyone, I don’t think I’m depressed, or if I am, I’m handling it quite well.
And I am a Christian and read my bible daily.
Chosen Answer:
I don’t think its the socializing, i think its more the fact that you are on the web a lot and not really exercising.

My doctor prescribed me ambien because i have been having trouble sleeping for two months. Can you please share your experiences with this medication? Thanks
Chosen Answer:
I know someone close to me who used to take it, and trust me it’s a serious drug!
It kicks in so quickly, and it pretty much knocks you out. I would suggest you try more natural ways before giving in to drugs. I think drugs should always be the last resource, for many reasons such as dependency, long term effects, side effects, etc. If you do decide to take it make sure you are familiar with the side effects. Also make sure you give yourself plenty of time to rest at night, because if you don’t you will probably be zombie like in the morning. Make sure no driving after taking ambien!!!

I have had insomnia for about 2 years and it is nearly impossible for me to sleep. I have to get up to work at 6 a.m., but don’t get to sleep till -at best- 5:30. Does anyone know a way for me to get more sleep?
Chosen Answer:
This question is awfully hard to answer without lifestyle details, however, it definitly seems that you have a pretty bad case of insomnia. While Im not an insomniac, my friend used to be and he would just not sleep for a couple days and then just collapse.
The norm of what you can do is take sleeping pills, avoid caffiene consumption, and try incest in your pillow or something like that. If you have a stressful lifestyle then you should pickup meditation to get rid of it and allow sleep. A visit of the family practitioner is also something you should do.
Now what my friend did was he searched up the internet after being on pills for awhile and found “brainwave technology” soundtracks, now I dont know if it was something about him that built well with this but the result was that he essentially “cured” insomnia.
But anyways, my advice is
1. Do simple lifestyle changes (no caffiene, no eating past 6, maybe a warm bath, get relaxed, etc.)
2. Try meditation or yoga if you’re stressful
3. See a Doctor
4. Try “brainwave technology” , I only know that it worked for my friend, but I also belive it has a 60 day guarantee.

I’m 18. And i can’t sleep at night. I try so hard!.
I can sometimes fall asleep at like midnight because i’m so tired from no sleep.
and because of this no sleep i’ve been getting head spins constantly and headaches.
anyone been through this kind of thing??
Chosen Answer:
I’m not usually one for alternative medicine, but when it comes to sleeping, I always suggest Valerian Root. It’s perfectly natural and it helped me to sleep. I didn’t find it addictive either. Once I was back into a regular sleeping pattern, I stopped taking it and slept fine after that.

I’ve taken 30 ambien over the last two days and now I feel horribly depressed and worthless.
Chosen Answer:
hmm probably considering you took way more than just a therapeutic dose of Ambien. What was the point of asking this question, it’s kind of obvious. Did you think it might be from something other than your overdosing on sleeping medication? because I highly doubt that. I suggest drinking some tea, exercising, taking some vitamins and trying not to take the entire script of Ambien in just 2 days…

I have what I think is starting to turn into insomnia. I have been awake since 7am yesterday. I don’t feel safe being alone (due to past things that have happened) I don’t feel safe sleeping alone (same reason as above) I saw my bf today before work, and I did get around fifty minutes of sleep, which amazed me. But as soon as he wrapped his arms around me and help me close I felt safe. I’m not sure what to do, seeing as I can’t spend every night with him (I’m 16) But I haven’t been sleeping at all. Or when I do, I have nightmares. And I only sleep around 2-3 hours. My bf wants to help, but I’m unsure of what to do, and so is he. Anyone with experiences? Or suggestions? (Sleep meds do not work for me, nor do anti-anxiety, or tylenol/advil pm) Some help/advice would be awesome.
Chosen Answer:
The problem is in this fear you have for your safety.
I really feel for you.
How about trying to make yourself feel extra safe?
Locking you windows and bolting doors with added security may ease your mind? Don’t bother yourself with what other people might say about these extra precautions…you need your sleep!
I don’t really know the reason for your uneasiness but I hope that helps a little.

What Is Ambien (Zolpidem) ?
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 for the short-term treatment of insomnia (difficulty falling or staying asleep). This medication causes relaxation to help you fall asleep.
