not able to sleep

Not sure why this started, but all of a sudden for the last 4 or 5 months I have not been able to go to sleep at night. Then when I do it is only for about 4 hours. I have tried ambien, lunasta, resorzam, seritonin, etc and I still can’t get to sleep but usually by 12:00 or so I go off to sleep for 3-4 hours. This is very hard because I feel tired during the day. I use to be able to take naps with my granddaughter, go to sleep at night still. But, now I can’t do any of these things.

I just went through a sleep study, but won’t have the results for 5-10 days. The doctor says we have to wait till the results come in before he will do anything. He thought it might be hormornes since I am 46 years old, but I have had 2 different hyster., like 20 years ago and the last one was my ovary was rotted out so I told that doctor to take both of them because I had already had my uterus, removed a year earlier, and I really didn’t want to have to replay this game. Now, my family doctor is wondering if he did take both out, and if he didn’t if I am going through hormorne problems. HELP someone I want to sleep. Janet

    It was seven o’clock at night and I was getting ready for bed. I’d been feeling really tired all and it didn’t suprise me that I went to sleep right as I fell into the bed onto my back. It seemed like I’d only been asleep for about 30 minutes but the next thing I knew I was having a lucid dream. [more..]
