Do I have a Sleeping Disorder??

Question

Do I have a Sleeping Disorder of some kind?

Every day it takes me 40 minutes- to 3 hours to fall asleep.

Everyone else in my family is asleep by 5 minutes.....and every night I lie the dark ,shutting my eyes trying to fall asleep for awhile-when I check the clock hours have passed and Im still not asleep.

Answer 1

Sounds as if you just can't get your brain to shut down.  They say its important not to take stressful or work to bed with you.  A mild sleep aid may be the answer.  Or have a sleep study done.

Answer 2

that sucks...too bad

Answer 3

The Same thing happened to me...I myself went to the doctor and she put me on a sleeping pill which let me tell you helps amazingly...The first one i was on was ambien...which was not a good one it helped u sleep but you could sleep walk or even sleep drive to much risk while taking it. I also tried lunsta which was absolutely horrible it left a metal taste in your mouth all the time. Currently i am on restroil which is working perfectly it basicly depends on you and your own body.  So if i were you i'd make an appointment with your doctor and see what he has to see.  Is it just recently? Are you stressed over anything that would cause you from not sleeping?
