The girl that I am dating has sleeping habits that make me nervous. She often breathes very short breaths during the course of the night. In addition, she has a sudden convulsion periodically during the course of the night. Often we are out drinking when I notice these symptoms. I just did some research on sleep apnea, and I don’t think that she has this.

for 15 years i have suffered from depression and now i am suffering from generalized anxiety disorder and go threw my day 2 day life with fear, worry, aggitation and nervousness!, i worry about my health alot especially my heart but i have been checked out and there is nothing wrong with my heart but i worry all the time about death and when i heard about sleep apnea, i began to think that i have it cause of the symptoms like feeling tired during the day and can’t concentrate properly as i can’t sleep at night thinking and worrying about death, and i worry about that if i sleep i might not wake up but i have read what sleep apnea does during my sleep, like gasping for breath during the night or snoring loudly but i never have problems like gasping for breath, i sleep pretty well but only wake up if i have bad dreams and sometimes have hallucinations, this has been happening for over 6 months now and i feel tired all the time and i keep thinking that i have sleep apnea disorder but i don’t wake up during the night gasping for breath and my friends tell me that i talk in my sleep but never said i snore loudly, so what could this be, is it my worry with anxiety?, could someone have the answer to this please!

I have a rough school schedule. Up at 4:30 am to catch my two trains, I can get about 30 minutes combined sleep while commuting.

I get to sleep at 11 because of my massive workload, and I sleep on a couch, which has given me back, shoulder and neck problems throughout the day. I get awful nightmares all the time if I sleep in my room on the bed for some reason. At 15 I think that I should have outgrown it, but it isn’t child-like fear. I just wake up from nightmares repeatedly. Anything I can do about that?

So in my 5 hours of sleep what can I do to max it out? Doctor told me I needed 9-10 but thats not feasible.

Nightmares? I am screwed up with minor schizophrenic episodes and bipolar disorder. I am really weird :)!

So what can I do without parental knowledge. E.G. no sleep aids.

I have dated emotionally abusive men for years, because deep down I believe that there is something wrong with me socially, I am inferior, that I am strange, so it’s better to latch on to someone/anyone who shows attention, in hopes of being saved, then to be alone/miserable/and to bask in my own weirdness/anxiety/and extreme fear of rejection. And it’s much better to lose yourself in someone that you know in your heart you don’t truly love because it’s easier to part when the madness all ends, when you either leave him or he leaves you for someone else…

These men have been criminals, stolen things, did a lot drugs, lied/cheated, slept around with both women and other men, hit me once, broken endless promises to me, manipulated me, threatened me, degraded me, controlled me, possessed me, disappeared on me for days, basically beat me to pulp emotionally…then when I needed a someone….(whoever I was with at the time) could never be found.

Then eventually I’d move on to the next abuser or they’d find a newer/fresher abusee…

What’s wrong with me?

Roxana-my email is on my profile if you could email it to me???? thanks a lot

I have to find a doctor that accepts my insurance (Humana HMO) and will help me with my anxiety and insomnia. I tried going to the website and picking a doctor at random, and he was horrible, he didn’t help at all. I don’t have time to go doctor shopping, but my symptoms are getting out of control.

ok so at night it takes me about 15-30min to sleep thats not the problem i can sleep easy at night if i wake up right. the real problem is no matter how long i sleep i always feel really tired when i wake up, which makes it very hard to wake up for events and this is effecting my schooling cause im soo tired after 7 hrs of sleep i cant wake up what do i do. like even after 14 hrs of sleep im still tired.
also im not tired during the day just when im waking up.
is this normal?
how can i fix this?
could it be my mattress?

My son when born was very healthy. Had one febrile seizure at 6mo. old due to high fever after shots. At 11/2 He was bitten by dog unvactinated. He had fevers of 101.0 to 107.0 seizures, lost weight, started limping, lost his speech. Docs said all the fevers has nothing to do with the dog bite. He must have has llike 3 viruses in a row. THis was over a course of 3 months. fevers then started to go away. He was dx w/ epilesy soon after. Walking still limps w/ muscle weakness, swelling of legs or feet. Doc said he has overpronation of the feet. This must be causeing the pain in his legs upon waking . At times he cant stand to walk. Pt’s said this is not the OPof the feet. tests have been done, Mri;s cts, blood work, everything comes back normal. Had tonsils out for breathing sleep apnea and adenoids. tubes in ears to help hearing. so main concern is his legs right now does anyone out there ever heard of this and if so is there any test thats missing? thanks so much if anyone has answers
He was not given rabbie shots. He only had one febrile seizure at age 6 months. Then none until he got bit by the dog. Got bit in june, started having high fevers following dog bite following fevers seizures all seemed to be febrile, had eeg showed petie mall, partial, generlized seizures. so yes, he was dx by a neuro. following sickness of 3 months his limp started then advised to see ortropedic surgeon .dx him with the overpronation. so he has been in pt now since he was 2. upon being in pt he started waking up in the mourning and not be able to walk. 1hr later he is fine. or with lots of excersie he tires quickly. He also has low endurance. He just cant keep up with the other kids his age. He now has swelling on feet or legs at times. we as parents see no pattern to it. He legs turn red at times also and he complains of tingling at times. when his legs tingle he wont be able to walk. when it goes away he can then walk and run as he wants too. ( of course he still has the low energ
He was dx with epilepsy after about 7 or 8 eegs and all showed abnormal and showed he was having partial, generlized ,absence seizures . put him on meds which we have seen much improvment with. He is learning better, speech has gotten better, doesnt have alot of jumpy muscle twitching anymore. still does but not near as many. He has no prior eeg testing prior to dog bite cause he only had one febrile seizures. after dog bite he has many like 7 or 8 a day. sleeps better. sleeps even more better after having the tonsils and adenoids removed. So neurological does anyone thing this could be effecting his muscle somehow? Neuro told us that he prob had epilepsy all along but getting bit by the dog and gettting so sick that it brought it out earlier. they also said that the dog bite was not the reason he was so sick with all the vomiting , high fevers, etc. They said it was all viral. HOpe this info helps so I can maybe get some answers too???
