Hi Mel. I'm the same and it gets to the stage where I hallucinate. A few months ago I'm sure I had a nervous breakdown. I never seen a person for 3weeks so I understand how you must feel. I'm still going night's without sleep. I wish I had some advice but unfortunately I don't. I hope you get help. All the best x

I hear you. Awake for 66 hours last week. Currently on hour 42. Attempting to finish up PIP MR submission. Has to be posted tomorrow. So tired....

I have zopiclone, but it doesn't work. I get a bit dozy, but I can't sleep. Boring after a bit.

DWP stressing you out won't help. Tired but wired drives me crazy. Hope you get back to normal soon.

Hi, I do sleep but very disturbed, and wake up every two hours and once awake my bladder starts and I have got to go to the toilet, by the time I get back to bed I'm like wide awake and takes more than half hour to get back to sleep. This happens every two hours so my sleep through the night is broken. I feel very tired and irritable the next day usually so if I'm getting a bit of sleep and you others on here are not getting ANY then I can't imagine how you all must feel. One thing that I do that none of you have mentioned is that I listen to the radio not music, just talking, a very low volume so I can only just hear it, I listen with little earphones (plugs) maybe that sends me back to sleep. ?? Maybe you can try this at bedtime. I am and would be interested Mel263, cheerichick, jannah and waylay on your answers.

Jenayaj I listen to the t.v. on a low volume it helps sometimes but not always. X

I’m exactly the same Hun. It’s incredibly frustrating and exhausting. I’ve tried reading, listening to music etc and nothing helps me. Take care and love and hugs xx

[jonah13]

Yeah it is horrible I’ve gone 6 nights I keep oh awake too which is not nice for him hope you get some sleep soon loads of hugs.

I'm the same too. The tablets have never worked for me. They just make me fuzzy headed at work the next day. A warm bath before bedtime sometimes helps me get a few hours sleep. Then I wake up at about 2 a.m. It's better than nothing.
