World upside Down.

I have a bad bad sleeping pattern. I become complacent and my whole pattern is disrupted. I sleep during the day and wake up at night. And today I tried to sleep at night and I keep waking up in the night after every few hours without any bad dreams just panicky. It happens for Weeks every time. Today I had horrible anxious feelings all day. I had nausea and I gagged on the road. I keep feeling strange and unreal and I keep being fearful of the symptoms specially when my feet feel cold and numb. And when I am so sleepy but at night when I lie down its like my cells oppose the sleeping. They fight to keep me awake and I really don't know what to do.

I can sleep great in the day but nights . . I just don't know. Then i worry that i should be asleep and know ill be tired next day. Usually end up downstairs on sofa watching something relaxing till i drop off. David Attenborough nature programs lol

Perhaps you should see your doctor and get some sleep medication. I have bouts of not sleeping and find that amitryptiline is good for getting you back on track. You've got into a vicious circle and need to get it sorted. Good luck!
