I don't understand what's going on?!

Hello,

I am in desperate need of sleep that is not consistenly happening.  For the past two weeks my sleep has been off and on.  3 days before my period started I was getting no sleep, I just could not fall asleep at all.  I did sleep somewhat, but probably only 2-3 hours a night.  Once I got my period the insomnia went away and I finally slept like a normal person.  Well the day my period stopped which was Friday my insomnia started up again.  Last night I only slept about an hour.  I couldn't even close my eyes this morning without the urge to reopen them. It's awful.  

I have always had an issue with insomnia, but not this bad.  This is something new.  I am going to try marijuana tonight because that has helped a lot in the past and is a whole lot better than taking sleeping pills.  I also have a doctors appointment on Wednesday.  

I am curious to know what your solutions are to insomnia, what has worked for you?  Does my situation sound normal?

I don't know about the EMF thing, I heard that it's not true about EMF effecting your health...I bought Melatonin pills so I am gonna see if that helps as well.  I feel really tired right now, but the minute I lay down I start thinking or I just don't have that relaxed feeling that people get when they are about to go to sleep.  My insomnia is not constant, thank god! So I hope that maybe some lifestyle changes will help.

I never drink, think I have an allergy to alcohol, always makes me sick, even one glass, but I need to exercise because I never do.  I work a desk job so I am always sedentary.  I also want to try reading instead of watching tv before bed.  So I am gonna exercise, read and take melatonin...hope this works, but I am also see my doctor wednesday just to make sure I don't have a thyroid issue.

Sorry I am rambling, it's the lack of sleep...so tired, can't wait till I am off work... :)

I agree with Bob try cutting back on eating crabs especially sugar, no snacking a few hours before sleep, that includes wine as that has sugar maybe you were thinking a lot that will also keep you awake churning problems over .Visualise a nice scene maybe a beach or a garden and go there ,the same scene every night ..one other thought have you had a new meter put in your house as the smart meter have more EMF's and that will keep you awake

How come weed would make it worse?

     Hi you could try asking your Doctor for a sleep study , perhaps that will tell you more what you are going through , Sorry but i don't recommend the (weed) that may only make things worse Please take care...........Bob
