I suffer tremendously with insomnia. If I get to bed before 3am, it is a GOOD night. And this is even with taking ambien every night. Sometimes I take something in addition to that, in hopes of knocking myself out. Doesn't always work.
I have noted that my insomnia peaks and gets MUCH worse right at the onset of an exacerbation. In fact, my first exacerbation - which led to diagnosis - came right after having a 2-3 week period of not getting to sleep before 6am and even then struggling. Of course, immediately after that period, I couldn't move and the fatigue was out of control. I'm thinking of going to a sleep study place (doc referred me and insurance will pay), but I'm chicken...the thought of being hooked up to wires and wide awake, unable to sleep with no TV, 'puter, or books to keep me occupied. I've tried every sleeping pill, none work any better than the ambien (which I've been on since January). Right now, the insomnia seems worse and I'm afraid that it means something bad is around the corner. ~Keri |
