Trouble sleeping can be caused by many different things as far as I know of. Have you ever tried a sleep aid like meletonin?

What happens when you try to sleep ?

What are you doing in the 4 hours before you try to sleep ?

How comfortable are you in bed ?

What do you feel like when you wake up ?

I had trouble sleeping the first month, only because I was scared i wouldn't wake up. I would ask my gf to spend the night with me and that would really help. I would still feel really scared and terrible symptoms but i was relaxed someone was there in case something happened.

I had no real issues with sleeping pre-PCS, but have them on a regular basis post-PCS. For me, the sleep issues are directly related to activity/over-stimulation.

Refinisher,

I could fall asleep anywhere whenever I wanted to pre injury. Post injury in was down to an hour a day...a half hour at a time with 6 hours between.

After 7 months sleep is finally becoming more dependable but still nothing like the good ole pre days.

Mark's questions are really important to good sleep...for me what I call thought hygiene is important. Keep the worry down pre bed and don't let it get the best of you when you wake. I remindydelf that I will be able to function at work with only a few hours of sleep and that last nights sleep is no predictor of tonight's sleep.

Bach Flower Remedies, Rescue Sleep Spray could be worth a try. Have only just started using it, am getting a deeper sleep which is great. Reviews of it most encouraging when I looked it up on** site.

I have heard of that spray but your are the first comment, maybe I will try it.
