Hi Melanie,

Gosh, I can totally relate to what you're saying. I suffer from chronic insomnia, this has been going on for 2 years now. I am also desperate. I stayed awake the whole of last night and have had zero sleep. My muscles also ache with pain, I have no energy or enthusiasm to do anything.
I just feel like no-one can help me, I've done the whole doctors thing, herbal thing, sleeping pills thing, alternative medicine eg. acupunture, hypnotherapy, etc. I JUST WANT MY LIFE BACK.
The only thing I can suggest is excercise and relaxing techniques, like meditation and yoga.
I'm going to try reflexology tomorrow, so I can let you know how I get on with that??
I've seen so many doctors, all they've tried to do is put me on sleeping pills or anti-depressants, they are such a joke! Why can't somebody find a cure for insomnia that doesn't involve sleeping pills?? the funny thing is that insomnia makes you depressed, we all know if we could just get some decent deep sleep, we would all be back to our normal selves! I certainly have never considered myself to be a depressed person, before I got insomnia I had a real love for life and had boundless energy, I am only 27 but feel like a 60 year old. I really sympathise with what you're going through, even when I do get any sleep I wake up every hour all hot and anxious, so I'm not getting any deep healing sleep at all. Its terrible, just remember that there are the rest of us out here also and we're all going through it together.

Lets try to not let us defeat us or our spirits!!

Goodluck with everything,

Sleepless Sam.
