Seems like a circadian rhythm destabilization. Switch to better lighting. It did wonders for my aunt!
all ailments are caused by the same thing - dirty blood. try to clean out your system with fasting - and then gradually switch to a clean diet of mostly fruits and veggies. try fasting by missing dinner and then try to get to noon the next day - and that is one day of fasting already. try to do those however often your will power can accomplish it. it aint easy. but this is the hero;s journey
I am 38 and have also the exact same thing. I would be watching TV or reading at night and then start to doze off At 11pm. As soon as I go to bed I would doze off for a few min then would suddenly wake up again as if someone injected 10 cups of coffee in me. I then can't sleep again till 5am. My brain is racing and I can't shut it down. When I finally sleep at 5am I would be half asleep waking up every 30 min and then finally wake up at 7 or 8. I feel like I'm being tortured with this condition. I've tried all the usual BS medical treatments like cpap, oral devices, light therapy, sleep diet, not to mention sleeping pills including melatonin at various doses, zolpedium, ...etc. I'm extremely fit, work out allot during the day, sleep study indicates moderate apnea but I'm doubtful as this still happens to me even with cpap. Also some days (2-3 times a week) I sleep fine even with no cpap. I just feel that Doctors are so behind in terms of understanding and treating sleep disorders. It's like the expression if all you have is a hammer every problem looks like a nail. This is the situation with cpap and sleep studies. Every sleep problem is diagnosed as apnea :-(
I have been having insomnia for about a month now and it *****. Some weeks I get decent 6-7 hours of sleep and others I get less. Just recently I have been waking up so often when I try to sleep that nights feel forever and I could not get a uninterrupted sleep. I wake up every 15-20 minutes. I also get these adrenaline/brain shocks right about when I'm drifting off to sleep and I'm right back awake. This cycle occurs throughout the night and in the morning I feel dizzy and a slight headache behind my ears.
I know you posted this over a year ago but I feel like I need to comment anyway. I'm a 29 year old female and you described my life to a T. I am always so sleep deprived that I can't function or even do my job properly. I've been through several sleep studies and countless medications to help me sleep. Specialists and Therapists. I've even had just about every blood, saliva and urine test available done to check my bodies functions. No one has an answer and it's terrifying. I do have sleep apnea and I do use a cpap but continue to wake up every few minutes all night long. Somedays not even so much as falling asleep once. Our bodies require sleep to survive and it scares the crap out of me that I may just have to feel this exhausted for the rest of my life.
1. Subclinical Sleep Apnea may be good enough to start you on Auto Titrating CPAP therapy. You can use a nasal interface. Why you are waking up all the time? You have to consider whether you have pain or anxiety. Whatever the case, it needs to be figured out and treated. I hope that helps.
Check your vitamin D levels with 25OH vitamin D blood test. Low D and low magnesium cause cause insomnia, anxiety, depression, fatigue, dizziness, body pain, headaches, etc.
You want you D levels above 50ng/mL. You can supplement with D3 and magnesium
I have this too, I'm 27. I wake up every 5 to 15 minutes and it's a struggle to even get up, do normal tasks like showering, reading, etc. I have to drag myself through the work day and my face is aging rapidly now. Just last year, people thought I was a teenager but now they think I'm 30+
I feel exactly the same as you the exact same symptoms of constantly waking up. Working is unbearable its torture to get through the day. Im constantly tired worn down and exhausted. Im not functioning properly my focus is all over the place. Some nights I actually have insomnia this probably only occurs once every 2 months. Where I don't sleep at all, wide awake all night through!
Its affecting me so very badly now im sick of feeling like this. I want to enjoy my day be able to perform tasks at the best of my ability but lack of sleep absolutely kills my motivation. Sometimes I cry because im sick of the feeling of being constantly tired. I hope things work out for you, I and others that are experiencing sleep difficulties. I am 29 and now its affecting my looks. :(
I would always get told that im ten years younger than my real age now im getting 27 and 26 ive aged so much because of it. :(
I'm no doctor and I don't have the answers but I have this and was recently diagnosed with ADHD-PI. I've always had some form of sleeping difficulty but just waking up suddenly and way too much time dreaming (nightmares mostly) and barely any deep sleep are the main things that happen. I do wonder if the sleep disorder could be the cause of the ADHD but then I've always seemed to be quite 'odd' compared to others so i turn back to, no it's likely just part of it or a coincidence. I'm also up most up the time, especially if i become to focused on something that 'must be done NOW' ... which usually doesn't need to be at all. I believe as you get older this gets much harder to keep up with, especially if you're long term sleep deprived. I often wonder if this 'stubborn' behaviour will be the death of me. I also suspect this behaviour is caused by the general unhappiness created by lack of focus and success in every other are of life and a means to control something. uh.. i hope I haven't been too presumptuous but i hope this may help others in some way.
Hello and hope you are doing well.
Understand your predicament. But your sleep study is normal. You could be having an entity called delayed phase syndrome, where in the biological clock is reset and occurs late. It is a circadian rhythm disorder. There is a circadian rhythm for all living organisms. It is a 24 hour cycle rhythm and the biological clock within that individual adapts to this rhythm. This can be reset by bright light therapy, sleeping pills and sometimes by sleep debt. In sleep debt, though you happen to sleep late, you condition yourself to get up early; this in turn will help you to sleep early. So, try this, but if your symptoms still persist, I would advise you to discuss your symptoms with your primary care physician who may then give you sleep aids to promote good sleep temporarily.
