Insomnia
Insomnia is one of those unexplained phenomenons that drives me crazy. I go to bed tired and fall asleep quickly, only to awaken a few hours later, mind racing, unable to sleep. . .OR I go to bed tired and lie there staring at the clock as the minutes tick by. Tick, tick, tick. The longer I lie awake, the angrier I get. Who am I angry with? The faceless enemy called insomnia. When I finally do fall asleep, it’s usually a coma-like state that is painful to rouse from in the morning. Then I go through my day yawning and wishing for a nap. I take all the usual precautions for this ailment: avoid caffeine before bedtime, no vigorous exercise in the late evening, etc. but none of it seems to help consistently. I am 32 years old and have never had this problem before. I am a sleeper by nature. I love to nap, love to go to bed and love to sleep in. Is this stress or hormones or just age? If I figure it out, I’ll let you know.

I’m sorry to hear you are having problems with insomnia. I have dealt with this for years. I have fibromyalgia and insomnia is a common symptom associated with it.
I hope you find relief soon.
I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with it so long. It almost makes me feel bad for complaining when I know lots of folks deal with it their whole lives.
