Anyone know the cure for sleeping disorders?

by PjotrP

Question by laughing: Anyone know the cure for sleeping disorders? Well, I've had it about a year now. At first it came and went and then after a few months, it's stuck. Some people tell me I have to reset my inner clock, and I've tried, but it hasn't worked. Yes, I'm constantly tired. And because I don't get sleep, I'm always sick. It's frustrating. My usual amount of sleep is 5 hours or less. I'm up till about 1 or 2 am. I have to wake up at 6 am. If I'm lucky, I fall asleep around midnight. Any tips? I know I have it mainly because I have PMDD (if you don't know what it is look it up before answering) and I'm going to a doctor soon. But right now I'd like to try some 'home remedies'. Only serious answers please! Thanks!! Thanks for the answer. I'll post some more details to help you out. 1) I don't drink or use drugs 2) I NEVER nap haha 3) I'm always tired... 4) I dislike beds (i have no idea why) 5) I only use my bed for sleep 6) I wake up the same time every morning except on weekends. But Saturday and Sunday I wake up the same time, and then the weekdays a sperate time but those days are the same time. (if that makes sense... :P) The funny thing is, I've tried many of these things. I do have a bedroom, but for some reason I just don't like beds. If i get in a bed, I really can't fall asleep. Maybe it's my body's natural way of saying 'I don't feel safe'. I don't drink at all. Period. I've already missed too many days because I've been so sick. As soon as I recover from one illness, I get another. It's insane! I excersise a lot. I play many sports and love running. I break a sweat constantly. I'm not overweight or underweight. I have stress issues though, and depression which comes from my PMDD. Is meds the only thing I really have left??

Good sleep habits can prevent many cases from developing. Here are some recommendations from sleep experts. 1) Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and other drugs, especially after dinner. 2) Avoid excessive daytime naps. A person should take only one nap a day, if any, and the nap should be less than 1 hour. 3) Do not go to bed unless you are tired. 4) Have a comfortable, dark, quiet sleeping environment. 5) Use the bed only for sex and sleep. 6) Wake up at the same time every morning. Treatment of any underlying psychiatric condition may prevent some sleep problems from occurring. Weight management may prevent some cases of sleep apnea. Some sleep disorders cannot be prevented. Treatments vary depending upon the specific sleep disorder. Sleep disorder clinics often help people return to normal sleep patterns. Sometimes, sleep disorders go away by themselves. Other times, medicines can be used. For example, sleeping pills, such as zolpidem (i.e., Ambien), zaleplon (i.e., Sonata), temazepam (i.e., Restoril), or eszopiclone (i.e., Lunesta) may be given for insomnia. The treatment for sleep apnea involves weight loss for obese persons. The healthcare professional may also prescribe a CPAP machine, a special type of breathing machine used during sleep. The treatment of narcolepsy involves the use of powerful stimulant drugs, such as dextroamphetamine (i.e., Dexedrine), or non-amphetamine drugs, such as selegiline (i.e., Eldepryl, Zelapar), methylphenidate (i.e., Ritalin), pemoline (i.e., Cylert), or modafinil (i.e., Provigil) to keep people awake during the day. Other treatments are also used, depending on the disorder. PLS NOTE : DO NOT TAKE ANY MEDICINE WITHOUT CONSULT A DOCTOR. GOOD LUCK
