Sleeping problems - Sleep Disorders Message Board

Hi, Ive read a few of the posts on the board to see if anything I was experiencing matched another post but I didnt find anything exaclty like it. For about 2 months now Ive been going on without a full nights rest. Im waking up in the middle of the night for no apparent reason and cant fall back to sleep for another hour or so. Also, Im unable to stay asleep for more then 6 hours or so. Somtimes when I wake up also, my head and eyes hurt. Basically I dont get that relaxed and revived feeling I used to get when I woke up, when I was able to sleep for 8 hours or more. Im just looking for a way to get back to that because its extremely hard for me to run anymore without proper sleep.

Thank you in advance

Amell,

Are you currently on any medication: prescription or over-the-counter?

Amell, welcome to the boards! You may want to also consider consulting a sleep specialist.

the only medication I take is amoxicyln (if spelled it right) because my splein was taken out when I was younger.

Amoxycillin shouldn't affect your sleep. Quite often the waking-in-the-middle-of-the-night type insomnia is related to medication (like antidepressants).

Unfortunately, I can't help. Sorry. Hopefully, someone else here will have some ideas.
