I just can't sleep at night

[Against_the_current]

Today i woke up at noon, not at evening so i could fall asleep earlier. I was really sleepy, i had nothing to do, ate, took my meds and melatonin and went to sleep at 10pm. Then i woke up at midnight. Fell asleep again and woke up at 3:50 feeling scared, sick, nauseous, sore throat, nightmares. I have classes at 1pm and have to make a bus card before that. Why couldn't I sleep for at least 2 more hours, would be perfectI can never sleep normally. I just sleep all day and not at all at night

Easier said than done, but if you didn’t sleep as much during the day, you would be sleepier at night. Trust me, that’s not being judgmental at all, but what ‘they’ say. I have problems sleeping at night too at times. More now than at other times. Sometimes I’m awake until about 3 am. Right now there’s way too much on my plate so my depression and anxiety are high and I can’t see my dr until April for a prescription refill. Sorry to hear you are having trouble sleeping. Are the symptoms you are having from a med?

I actually think the med is keeping them at bay. I have tried, i stayed awake but i just can't sleep with my anxiety - my body gets symptoms

That’s so frustrating. This is another one of those times when I have no suggestions, just understanding from dealing with the same problem.

Thanks for being here

Thank you so much for the advice! Yeah, it's really difficult. I take my Clonasepam before sleep and a 3mg melatonin. Playing meditations on YouTube. Yet, i just wake up at midnight and stay up till the morning, if i try going to sleep. Otherwise i just can't sleep at night at all
