Hi to cut to the chase i dont know whats wrong with me. This morning i collapsed in town and ended up in hospital for most of the day but they won’t know anything for a while.

I have been feeling incredibly depressed of late. I have had terrible insomnia for the past year (well most of my teenage years but not as bad) and was put on valium. i came off it about 2 months ago after abusing it (i overdosed often just so i didn’t have to live with my thoughts) and thought it best i just come off…..anyway i don’t even know if this is connected but just for background information.

since ive come off my sleep has generally been good, too good infact, i have slept far too much. it seems to be worse after stress. i slept 30 hours straight last week and have slept other long times after stressful incidents.

My other symptoms include even lower heart rate than usual (i am a keen runner), hand and knee shakes, muscle spasms in my legs and feet and of course collapsing today. i don’t know whats going on.

i don’t expect a full diagnosis as my symptoms are quite general, however sleeping 30 hours staright is not normal to me, has anyone known anything like it? especially since i have such a history of sleeplessness?

thanks for your time, i really appreciate it,
GSTOKES

oh im 18 btw if that is significant

Hi,

You should really try this,

I’ve been suffering from insomnia since having to deal with several personal issues that all sprung up in the past two years. Someone recommended the use of "alpha rhythms". Its an ancient treatment using subliminal sound that actually makes your brain relax. Anyway I found a hypnotherapist that utilizes this. I believe she is the only one. I thought this was a lot of New Age BS, as I don’t really buy into all that stuff, but I was desperate. It really worked!!!. I download it its about an hour long and it helped me tremendously. She whispers to you and the sound rhythms clear your mind. Consider it the best bedtime story you’ve ever had. :). Not only did I sleep it was restful, as I now feel great in the morning. Just FYI.

Ive known what to say for months,
I knew the day would come.
But standing here before you,
All my thoughts are gone.

You sit there in anticipation,
My words wont come to me.
The nighttime is over, the sun is up,
But a light Ive yet to see.

Window panels show me the world,
Deserted and uncomfortable,
In my mind, my words are there,
Unheard and indescribable.

In September, it seemed all over,
Vanished from a dream.
In February, angels sing
All is well, it seems.

My mind converts my tears to peace,
Theres nothing left to say,
I choke up on my words and leave,
But my thoughts will stay.

*********EXPAND FOR LYRICS!!!*********

NOTE: i am always reppin penn shirts… gotta get myself some new clothes! LOL

‘No Regrets’ - Meehyun Kim
[V1]
It’s funny how songs bout broken hearts
Never talk about love from the start
They only talk about the hurt and loss
As if they got no other point to get across

But what about the times you got butterflies
Whenever he held you and looked in your eyes
And what about the times you got the chills
Just thinking bout how happy he made you feel

Those late night runs for coffee and ice-cream
Times he offered to pay for the extra whipped cream
The smile on your face from just hearing his name
How he kissed you when his friends were there & felt no shame

Why do people try to cancel out the joy of love
With little things undeserving of
Any real attention, like forgetting to call
C’mon now, is worth it at all?

[CHORUS]
Don’t let yourself linger on those tears you cried
Cuz there won’t ever be a guy who’s worth the time
Regretting all that could have been
Won’t bring you back to him
Letting go doesn’t have to be this hard
Just cherish happy memories and move on

[V2]
The smell of his shirt when he gets real close
Never a bouquet of flowers but a single rose
How his hand and yours seemed to fit perfectly
Times he stopped by your house unexpectedly

How he walked you to class and was late to his
Then texted you ‘good luck’ before your quiz
How he came to see you when you were really sad
About the fight with your parents that you just had

Sharing an umbrella on the days it rained
Laughing at your jokes even though they were lame
Renting Legally Blonde instead of the Dark Knight
Never judging you when you were wrong but said you were right

All the little things he never usually does
Like telling you he loves you, just because
Should have been enough, but then it got rough
And some people give up but so what?

[CHORUS]

Pictures are of my sister’s and brother’s dogs as I was dog sitting and practicing the drums. Song written and music arranged by Greg Elie………………………..Lyrics……………………………………………………………….

Verse 1: Ever since I met you baby, I can’t seem to sleep at night.
I wonder if you love me darling, it’s a question in my mind.

Refrain 1: My doctor thinks I am hopeless, he prescribed me sleeping
pills instead. My psychologist said I should find another but
you’re in my heart and not my head.

Verse 2: Every morning I make some coffee just to get me through the
day. (I just try to stay awake…) At work I feel like a walking zombie
cause my head is in a haze.

Refrain 2: You’re the drug that treats my insomnia, I need to have you
every night. (Feelings I can’t fight…) When you’re here I sleep
like a baby even when all breaks loose outside.

Verse 3: Every night I feel restless, whenever you’re not by my side.
(It happens day and night…) Can’t fall asleep I keep tossin
and turnin’ you’re what gets me through the night.

Refrain 3: I start counting sheeps to a hundred, and paint them green,
blue, yellow and red. (A rainbow in my head….) And when they’re
not color coded, I start naming them instead.

Instrumental: (Oh! my insomnia, this is terrible. Just can’t sleep!…)

Refrain 4: At night I count to a hundred, I count a billion stars to bed.
(A hundred books I read….) Even Einstein can’t solve love’s
problems, he’s got math equations in his head.

Final Verse: Sometimes I look at the heavens, I search for UFO’s at
night. (A shooting star that’s bright…) I wish that they could
take me, and fly me faster than the speed of light.

Final Refrain: And when I land on their planet, will I forget my love for you?
(Got nothing else to do….) But how can you stop from loving,
if the feeling’s pure and true.

Nana nana nana…..(then end)

Sometime ago, someone asked me why my username was called: “Wildmanelie”, well, it wasn’t a name I chose but was branded to
me when I was still in the Navy. To make a long story short, I was a corpsman in the USS Midway back inthe 80’s. I was pulling a midnight to 4am medical department watch all by myself when suddenly a crazed 18 year old sailor slammed the entrance door in tears. He went straight to the treatment room looking for a scalpel or knife, he said he needed something to cut his throat with. Aparently, his fiancee broke up with him and he was suicidal. I tried to calm him down but he was unconsolable. When he couldn’t find a scalpel since it was locked in our cabinets, he started heading back out. I had to stop him since I knew his next course would be to jump off the ship. Out at sea at night, it’s pitch black. Finding a man overboard at night was like looking for a needle in a haystack. This kid was about five foot ten inches and 180 pounds, while I was only five-four and about 130 pounds. The only thing I could do was jump on his back, we both fell backwards and I held him down for about between 3-5 minutes when finally a couple of sailors came in for treatment and when they saw us, the helped me subdue this guy. All my peers were astonished that I was able to hold him down for that long. And that’s when they started calling me:”Wildman”. They thought that I was stronger than I looked. What I did not tell them was that when we fell on the ground, I wrapped my right arm around the guy’s neck and my left arm around a leg of ten foot long bench. And for you guys who’s been at sea before, you know that some table and benches are bolted down to the floor to prevent them from moving when the ship sways from side to side. So to my shipmates at the USS Midway Medical Department batch 1988-1989 now you know I ain’t no superman. And that green stuff that made me weak, it wasn’t Kryptonite, it was spoiled guacamole. (Gave me the runs for a week…) Anyway, hope you like the song, this is my July 2010 song upload. I’ll try to get this into iTunes sometime next year……

What is the most effective sleep remedy prescription or OTC for severe insomnia?
its been over 30 hours and no matter what I do, my head is achey and my pulse is high. Tried klonopin and doesnt seem to do the trick aside from initially relaxing u. Any good suggestions would be helpful

medication for sleep shouldn’t be taken for very long bur for some us it’s the only way to function..

A small amount of seroquel will make you sleep very well .Also, lunesta, ativan, xanax(my very favorite that works great but gets you addicted quickly, so I had to stop it.) ,klonipin-a longer half life so you don’t have the addiction problem because it doesn’t have that quick withdrawal - restoril,trazadone, ambian which (sleep walking or dangerous to drive)Elavil but it can make you drowsy during the day.

Some of those get you to sleep,but wake you up in a couple of hours. Some have too much of a hypnotic qualities and could be dangerous driving and make you have temporary loss of memory.

klonipin started working better for me when the dr. gave me a prescription to divide into 3 doses during the day so I’m less hyper by the end of the night

. Seroquel puts you out really well but you’ll be tired the next morning until they increase the does to the right amount.

try a warm shower and keep the temperature in you room cool. Keep the room totally dark,turn the clock towards the wall. Put a fan on in your room for some white noise. Count backwards from 100 by 3’s (very boring) or calm down by thinking about a nice vacation on a warm beach in Hawaii. sweet dreams.

How can I stop the ever going unwanted and unnecessary conversation in mind about past, present and future? This is causing me 24 x 7 sleeplessness. And very often I have to be on sedative medications to recover from the effects of 3-4 days of unsound sleep. I feel Yog Nidra technique can be helpful, but not getting proper guidance on the same. Please help me to get rid of desires that are impractical to fulfil?
Gurumaa Answer: Nirankar, I really can be compassionate to your condition, that you cant sleep enough, and thats for sure, if long duration of sleeplessness is experienced by anyone, it can surely damage lot many delicate and intricate system of our human system and you should make sure that you dont allow your mind to go into meaningless chattering all the time. You say how can I put a stop on that, you can only do that if you detach yourself, from the achievements or prestige, status, money, what ever is bothering your, you just have to go into those desires, de attach yourself from that, and know this, death may knock at anytime. So where do we have the time to waste on this unnecessary, meaningless thinking!

Be vigilant, every moment of your life is a blessing, and you have to live in this aptitude and regarding Yoga Nidra, my suggestion is you can order your Yoga Nidra CD from our website gurumaa.com. Its very easy to follow, you need not be scared about it, there is nothing complicated which can harm you, and use Yoga-Nidra, at least twice a day and also if possible, if you have a know-how or if you have some yoga-ashram close to you, then may be if you can learn the yogic Asanas and also the techniques of Kunjal and Neti, will really help you. If I talk about the Ayurveda then, the Ayurveda says that getting Abhyanga done, thats the hot oil massages, and the Shirodhara, when the oil is dripped on the head for a certain period of time, say half an hour or so, and cleansing of your body is required. If you have too much of toxins in your body, if you have constipation, if your digestive system is in dis-order, well, youll find it difficult to sleep, and this agitated mind will agitate your body system more, and as the system gets agitated, so would be your mind, so its a very vicious circle. You need to work on the both front. So clean your body, out all toxins, in comes good Pranayama, Asanas, waking up at right time, sleeping, right foods, and most importantly, thinking about the mortality of your body and contemplating about that everything is about to change and death is round the corner.
