No Normal Sleep In Last 12 Months Posted: 10-24-04 03:40am


A year ago I started working a 2-10pm shift on a computer help desk. After about a month I was not going to bed till after 2 am, and it got worse from there over time. 3, 4, 5 am I was not tired. I was very wound up from working so late. I would fall asleep and then sleep 6-8hrs into the day and go to work, come home late. This became a vicious cycle. After a few months of this bad sleep habit I went to the Dr. He gave me a pill to take called ambian. I have since not ever fallen asleep with out this pill. But like all drugs you body over time builds immunity to it. It seems to work now in waves. Sometimes I will fall asleep inside of the hour I take the pill, other nights the pill has no effect. I have tried to get off it but it is almost habit forming. So here is my problem. It has been 12 months since I slept without any drug form. I no longer work that job. I was laid off, over the summer. Now I suffer from depression, being out of work, $ issues, ( a plate full of stress) and of course serious insomnia. Any suggestions to get me going straight again. I miss sleeping, napping. I also notice the more computer jobs I work the more my eyes tire and dry out. I feel at times my blood pressure is high. I can feel presser in my head, not like a headache but like an over filled tire. I don’t know what to about it anymore. Any help?
