Ivy asked:


I have had insomnia for about 2 years and it is nearly impossible for me to sleep. I have to get up to work at 6 a.m., but don’t get to sleep till -at best- 5:30. Does anyone know a way for me to get more sleep?

bonita asked:


Before even knowing my husband had sleep apnea he very odd/strange dreams as if he was a Indian or grizzly bear.After finding out about the sleep Apnea and getting the machine to help him breath at night,he does not have those dreams anymore. Has anyone had similar dreams like that and we were wondering why this happens is it lack of breathing air at night?

I did both the multiple latency test and the polysmnogram test and they didnt find narcolepsy but they also did a narcolepsy panel and found that I tested positive. I noticed the symptoms I had were excessive daytime sleepiness, sometimes I hallucinate, sometimes I get sleep paralysis and during school I feel very sleep at the wrong times. I know the doctor will give me medication for it, but I am wondering is there any treatment for it besides medication? Like what can I do to cope with narcolepsy?

My legs feel fine all day, but as soon as I’m about to go to bed, the RLS kicks in.

I also have diabetes and am taking cal-meg and iron for anemia. I have tried hot showers, calming lotions, sleeping pills, and even tried smoking pot. Everything works at first, but usually doesn’t last too long. Are there any herbs or teas I might consider? I just made a appointment with a acupuncturist. I hope she can help me. As you can see, I am open to any and all suggestions. Please help me get some sleep.

I have taken Sinemet for years, and it has worked well. My doctor uped my dose in case I need extra. I was currently on 1 pill but can take up to two. I always have taken just 1 until about the last month where it is 2 every night. I have tried limiting caffeine with no luck. I need help. My husband says I flop like a fish!

Willowmariah asked:


I came down with a particularly nasty strain of the flu that landed me in the hospital with my throat swollen shut. The doctor put me on Tamiflu 3 days ago…. and I haven’t been able to sleep since. Every time I try to lie down, my mind suddenly starts racing and I can’t sleep. I know that insomnia is one of the side effects…. is there a way to counter it? Has anyone ever taken it and dealt with the same problem?

didi0910 asked:


I have daytime sleepiness and sleep paralysis, but I don’t think I have narcolepsy. My neurologist sent me to get a blood test because he suspects it….is there anyone else who has had this blood test and what can it tell? Isn’t it possible to have these symptoms without having narcolepsy? I’m afraid this type of diagnosis will hurt me in my career.
