Hi EVERYONE,

I guess I'm a little scared because for many many years I've dealt with insomnia. For the last 3 weeks all I want to do is sleep. I've been going to sleep very early. I sleep through the night but when I get to work about an hour or two later, I'm falling asleep at my desk to the point where I can't keep my eyes open. Its very scary. What do you guys think? All of my health test comes back normal all the time. Help me please!

This is something I deal with what seems to be annually. I have been dealing with lately myself. I attribute it to the time of year(Not sure thats why though). I try to get on a sleep schedule; going to bed at the same time each night and wake at the same time. I am still tired throughout the day but I try to push through it telling myself that I will allow myself to sleep late one day over the weekend. I know this may not be of much help, but I thought I'd let you know there are others out here.

Hi Kenya :-) maybe after so long of not getting enough rest your body is just shouting "let me rest and sleep" I know when I've had long periods of lack of sleep I have a few weeks where I feel I could sleep all day but fall asleep early and sleep for 9-10 hours or more if I'm not at work. I would try not to worry you obviously just need to rest to recoup some of the lost sleep
