Oh yes! Here I am, another night of insomnia! Drugs and meditation seem useless, even dangerous, to me. I have been up for hours. Now, I am crashing for an hour, I hope!

Yes, last night I was awake still at 5am! I've got into bad sleep hygiene habits. What do you think might be the cause of this for you? Do you sleep during the day? Is there a way for you to change your routine and try to reset your body clock?

I have insomnia. I have prescriptions for klonopin and ambien but they just make me drowsy; I still have a hard time falling asleep. I had two sleep studies but they just confirmed that I don't sleep well.

Yes. I am having a terrible time sleeping. This has been going on for over a month. No one knows how bad this can be till it happens to them. I also struggle with general anxiety disorder. My counselor is going to do cognitive therapy with me for that. My whole life is on hold because of all of this. The drugs don’t help me either.

I did for years & years, since I've been on klonopin I'm doing really good. Have you ever tried chamomile tea? It is very calming. I wish for a good nights rest. Love & Hugs!!!
