cant sleep and chest pain


well here it is 5am again and i aint even tired. i spent from 5 till about 330 at a doc getting a sleep study. i couldnt even fall asleep. id lay there with my eyes shut. they tryed everything execpt givein me med to sleep. they need me to fall asleep like i should. i was exausted when i went in. i started to sleep then it was a no go. idk, i guess ive lost my mind
 
Stretching....puts me to sleep quickly when I have difficulty sleeping...which is only rarely...

Especially your legs...quads, hamstrings, calves...and massage your feet...

You might also try taking a hot or warm bath...but don't fall asleep in the tub or you'll have a wet dream...
 
Keep trying the melatonin. I forgot to mention you should look for the kind that is in a fast release capsule, the slow release never worked for me. It took a few nights before I was sleeping good using it. There is some support for the idea that using it over a period of time (such as over four weeks) may be more effective than taking it one night only. I still wake up sometimes, but I feel it is working for me.

Sorry your still not sleeping good, that for sure helps to keep the stress level up there.

Other natural things I tried over the years for my problems with sleeping are:
Valerian, magnesium, chamomile, kava, tryptophan, and 5-HTP(which is like melatonin). The all seemed to work for a while, like up to a year or more, but eventauly I started waking up after just a few hours of sleep just like yourself.

I even read once that you can use catnip, passionflower, and hops as sleep remedies. (I agree with the Hops as in Beer!!!)

Find yourslef someone local in your area that is into all the herbal stuff and they may be able to mix a few together for you. Or try another thing that I have been doing for the last few months, and that is keeping a journal that I keep track of all the nights that I did sleep good and what I did different that day or night. It also helps to clear all the crap out of my head before drifting off to sleep by writing down all the crap I am thinking about and making a list of what I want and need to do tomorrow. That way I am not laying awake all night thinking I may forget something I thought of. Keeps it less mental that way.

Hang in there and keep trying new things, but stick with one for a while and give it a little time to kick in.

Lack of sleep and nightmares? Aren't those classic signs of insomnia?

IDK, I'm not a doctor. But if I couldn't sleep at night and I had no caffeine, my first thought would be insomnia.

my dad has it so that could be it. when i i go to the doc on thurs ill talk to them and see if that might be it
 
I didn’t read all of the posts so if this was suggested forget me.

How about trying another type of sleeping pill.

I find some my me nervous; Tylenol PM just just before going to bed works but not if I take it too early.

Just thinking out loud, change the meds and see.
 
Sounds like you need to get smashed, or relax. Lifes a ride, can't let it get to you to bad. It does with all of us at some point, but what good is life with more anxiety then anything else.
 
i slept! i got home from a friends lastnight, i had a long long night. i was physically and mentally exausted... hit my pillow and went to strech and well i dont remember anything till now
 
Good man. Sometimes I have bad spells of not being able to sleep. It generally is when I get off my typical/normal time that I go to sleep. Pretty much always go to bed 11:30-12 and wake up 7:30-8:00. Any time I get way off that, I get out of wack.
