Well,

The past two days have been kind of a whirlwind. I've been struck with insomnia and I hadn't slept in over 24+ hours... I was hungry too, but I was too tired to eat. I've been to the hospital twice within the last three days.

My primary care physician prescribed me some melatonin to help me sleep. Yet, she couldn't put in the prescription until after she came back home (as it was Sunday). I thought to myself, how about I start taking my anxiety medicine, and maybe the fatigue from it will help me sleep. (Mind you, this is my first time taking my anxiety meds).

Taking them didn't help me sleep though. But now that I've started taking them, I need to commit to continue taking them. I'm also going to probably be needing melatonin to sleep again.

Dear xKiYo, we can't sleep if we don't eat. Our brain needs nourishment and

silently cries out for that. Getting back to eating can and will help the sleep

cycle that is off right now. I'm not a doctor but a mother of an anorexic daughter.

I found this out from a therapist. You don't have to be anorexic but just not eating

can produce insomnia. My daughter has tried all kinds of sleep remedies which

haven't worked. Just a thought from my own experiences. :) xx

not sure where you are from, but melatonin is over the counter in the states. It has never worked for me, but there is also lavender pills or valerian root capsules. Try taking Magnesium Glycinate every night for atleast a month or so/ it has multi benefits including better sleep
