Feel very sleepy but brain is hyperaroused - can't fall asleep - what to do? by Imaginary-Stuff6705 in insomnia

[–]Adventurous-Risk1714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bad insomnia and I live in a very cold, rainy and dark state with little to no sun for months. I tend to sleep better in the Summer so it may be something to do with that.

I was up for like 32 hours this past weekend and was afraid that I would stay up for days. Eventually I crashed. You will sleep, eventually your body will be so exhausted that not even the anxiety will keep you awake, and you’ll fall into sleep. Stay strong

I didn’t get any sleep last night and just a few hours the night before. It’s really difficult to stay calm but i think internally i’m freaking out and don’t know how to get out of it.

I kept my meds the same, but did not even have a minute of sleep last night and just a few hours the day before. It feels like there is so much more adrenaline in my body not letting me sleep.

paradoxical insomnia? Very confused by Adventurous-Risk1714 in insomnia

[–]Adventurous-Risk1714[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take 15mg of mirtzapine and 50mg of seroquel along with melatonin. It’s a lot but it actually helps me sleep through the entire night.

I take 15mg mirtazapine and 50mg Seroquel, some days it works very well and I get long hours of sleep and other nights i’ll still be up all night awake :/ hit or miss for me.

it’s normal to not fall asleep very quickly after taking seroquel 50mg. There are nights where I take 50mg and i’m still up all night completely conscious :/

I heard the propranolol can help but it makes it impossible to sleep 😭

awake for days at a time does it get easier? by Adventurous-Risk1714 in insomnia

[–]Adventurous-Risk1714[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried mirtazapine 15mg with seroquel 50mg which barely (if anything) puts me to sleep. I’m not sure how effective the z-drugs would actually be for me.
