Is insomnia killing me???

It won't let me copy and paste what I just wrote in my notepad and I, honestly, don't feel like retyping all of this, so I took a screenshot and posted it instead...I hope that's okay. This is my first post...

It's 5:00am...and I still can't sleep...

I am terrified...seriously...

And my children will start waking up around 7:00am...they always do.

I want to cry...

I'm in the same boat as you I'm so sorry to hear other people going there this! I've been sleeping 2-3 hrs a night and your right about that on a good night it's maybe 5 but sometimes I don't feel it's a solid 5 because I don't wake up feeling refreshed, I'm so tired of feeling like this, I have children as well and watching them see me like this sucks! I walk around and smile and laugh but deep down in my head I'm racing with negative and sad thoughts that I'm slowly dying it's 5:44am here and I woke up to a dry mouth and my tummy hurting. I'm here if you wanna talk k (hugs)

Hi. Have you talked to a doctor about this? Sleep is just so important and getting the right amount of it is necessary for good overall health. I took zquil just about every night that I knew I would have trouble falling asleep. Is there an over the counter sleep aid you think would help you? A hypnosis track with guided imagery really helped me calm down and let go of all that clutter in my mind. I've heard many good things about chamomile tea, though I have not tried it yet; it's said to have anti-anxiety properties and can boost sleep. I hope this helps a little and talk to your doctor. Good luck
