Hi,
First of all, prior to this i never really had any sleep problems. Sure there is a bad nights sleep now again but nothing like this.
All started about 6 days ago when i had a really bad toothache (got it fixed 2 days ago, dont have pain anymore)and could not sleep all night. The next day got some good medicine and i got an amazing 8 hours of sleep (woke up 1 time).
The next day was like this, sometimes when i eat too much is hard to sleep, so i made a critical mistake of eating too late too much meat at muukataa gril. Was a hard night i i slept about 5 hours.
Now the past 3 days have been really hard, sleeping about 3 hours a night at best, yesterday slept maybe 1 hour deep sleep. Feeling not well.
Last night i also prepared well for the sleep, did not touch phone, however i did watch tv (all life fall sleep with tv), i smoke cigarettes but did not smoke some hours before bed, took a shower, ate enough as to not feel hungry but also not full. I also went to pharmacy and got a pack of circadin 2mg (melotonin).
I took melatonin about 1.5h before i knew i was going to sleep. When the effect came it was good feeling, its like i was not sleep, but also not awake, hard dreams etc, i was feeling positive. But sure enough, i did not fall sleep after 2 hours, surely anxiety kicks in next moment for another sleepless night and thats how it went. Tried relax, listen to medidation etc, i think i dozed off for about an hour at some point but then was back up.
I feel really tired, i dont know what my options are. Surely i can go to hospital and get some good medicine, but honestly i would rather avoid it, dont want to get addicted. Never really taken anything above ibuprofen or tylenol.
Or i could up the melatonin dosage, not sure.
Im desperate at this point, surely this is a short period in grand scheme of things what i experience, but for me its new and very frustrating.
Thank you.
