What's Happening Now
Those really can be frightening, can't they? (I've had them too.) I hope that others here have some ideas for you.
One thing I'm wondering is whether there's some additional stress in your life right now and/or changes in medication or sleep habits, etc.?View Thread
Sleepwalking May Be More Common Than You Think
Are you a sleepwalker? Have you ever been? Do you know someone who is?View Thread
I really encourage you to repost your message on our Hypertension community and to discuss your anxiety on our Anxiety and Panic community . The first may have some ideas for you on how to get the help you need even without insurance and discuss the high blood pressure in general, and the latter may be able to help you learn coping skills to get you through this.View Thread
I hope that others here will have some ideas for you to pursue but, in the meantime, I wanted to welcome you here.
I hope that, despite the insurance issues, the two of you can continue to pursue answers with the sleep specialist.
Is sleep her main issue or are there other symptoms as well?View Thread
What Do Your Dreams Say About You?
One part of the quiz in particular made me wonder"026
Do you ever use scents to make the chances of you having a good dream more likely? (Or would that be something you'd try after reading the info in the quiz?) Or scents just help create a relaxing bedroom environment?View Thread
It is possible for a child to have a sleep problem , including sleep apnea .
Be sure he sees his pediatrician and pursue answers with him/her and/or a sleep specialist. If this is, indeed, a sleep disorder, the sooner it is addressed the better. And, either way, you need to ensure his health.
Trust your concerns and pursue answers. I really hope you'll keep us updated because I don't think you're alone with having these concerns.View Thread
Is there any reason to think you have a sexsomnia? Have you been to a sleep specialist?
If this is a real concern for you, please consider seeing a therapist and sleep specialist to deal with your fears.View Thread
Keep us updated on how this goes; I'm sure I'm not the only one who will be interested.View Thread
I like those pillows you can cram into comfy positions too.I have a hard time letting go of books once I've begun too but I'm getting better at that.
I hope others reply too!View Thread

Your first priority is to ensure your own safety, even if that means sleeping in a different room until this is addressed.
And your husband should see his doctor to discuss this and look for solutions.
Please take steps to keep yourself safe and to help your husband get some help.View Thread
It's no wonder you're feeling overwhelmed and having problems sleeping; you have a lot going on. Is your husband helping you with all of this?
You've had some big life changes and lost a beloved pet. Please be gentle with yourself and get yourself to your doctor to start pursuing support and treatment for all of this including the sleep problems.
How you describe how you are feeling is how depression is often described and help is out there for you in the form of medication and/or therapy. Considering everything, I hope you will give therapy a try. You need and deserve some real support.
Do you have any friends you can get out with on a regular basis, if only to give yourself some time away from everything?
I also encourage you to talk with others on our Depression community .View Thread
Either way, yes, discuss this with your doctor if they are disturbing and of concern for you.
I think many here have experienced the same so I hope they'll share their thoughts and experiences.View Thread

Phiippians 4:13 says "I can do all things through CHRIST
who strenghtens me". It works, but it has taken a long time to actually REALLY Believe. Sounds like you have tried a lot of stuff. Maybe now is the time to try OUR LORD JESUS.
It also says what ever you ask, HE will give it to you. but only if it lines up with the Word of GOD. I will keep you schraderj4 in my PRAYERS, I know PRAY works. Two family members have been completely cured of cancer.View Thread
Did it begin when you were a child? Was the problem recognized or not? Were steps taken to help?View Thread
I've experienced the same severe headaches on oversleeping - which led me to follow my quest to the know-it-all "Google"!
Now, I'm no medical practitioner or anything, but I do believe that my headaches were caused by........ drumroll......... "Sleeping on my tummy".
Let me Quote:
"Obstructive sleep apnea—A disorder characterized by loud snoring during the night, periods in which a person may stop breathing during the night, and significant daytime sleepiness. This disorder usually results when the person is lying on their back and the oropharynx (or airway) becomes partially obstructed. Obstructive sleep apnea may result in medical problems such as hypertension and heart problems."
Michigan Headache & Neurological Institute.http://www.mhni.com/faqs_sleep_disorders.aspx
While I do not snore, But i"m sure - sleeping on my tummy might at times obstruct the airway.
That's my diagnosis, And Rx : Healthier sleeping Habits!View Thread
