Posted by WmICIII on October 04, 2009 at 14:52:47:I can't sleep well anymore. This is the first time I've ever had trouble sleeping. After 13 years on the night shift I thought I had it down, but lately I haven't been able to sleep more than six hours a night, usually less. Even my weekends are shot as I spend all my time trying to catch up on my sleep and not succeeding. This is making me nuts and ruining my life. I hate graveyard, but have little choice for now. I can't live this way, but my doctor has no solutions either. I have apnea and wear a mask, so he thinks it'd be dangerous to give me sleeping pills. I get so stressed out about needing sleep that it helps keep me keyed-up and unable to relax. Jeez' I don't know what to do. This is madness, just unbearable, and I'm driving my wife crazy to boot. What do I do? Anybody, please?
