I know a lot of people on here struggle with insomnia and so I just wanted to ask a few questions about it see if anyone can help me
First of all, does it get worse for any of you when going through times of change? Whenever I start a new job or have some other change in my life it becomes unbearable. I just cant sleep no matter how tired I am or what techniques I try and my head drives me mad imagining things and being anxious while I am awake
Secondly, what techniques have you guys found works to help with insomnia? Like routines before bed, sleeping medicine, anything?
Really cant carry on like this every night
zopiclone and if that dosent' work try reading the Laws of Tort, a book so boring my eyes glazed over after a couple of sentences and I was asleep by the second paragraph.
I've been taking 7.5mg zopiclone for around a year (or that may be 2 years - I don't remember).The NHS advise that it should be for short term use and one of the doctors at my GP surgery threatened to stop my prescription. Fortunately, my GP is aware of my situation which is backed up by a sleep neurologist that I am under, so I will continue....maybe forever!There have been 2 occasions when I had forgotten to take my tablet and boy did I know it. I just laid there in bed, not stressed or anything - I just laid there and simply could not fall asleep despite being tired. I realised after a while and took the tablet - result was I fell asleep in a short time (no more than 30 minutes).
It does make me wonder if I will ever get off of them.
I don't care if I have to tke them for the rest of my life, like you, if I don't have them I don't sleep or if I do drop off, then it's very light sleep and I dream loads and it's not a restful sleep.
