Sleep Cycle and pills
Hi. For almost a year I've been sleeping for only 5 hours, sometimes 6 if I'm lucky. The problem persists and does not walk away no matter what. I should add I suffer from depression which is fundamental for sleeping problems. I was wondering, if sleeping pills could help me sleep longer? I mean, I understand they have side effects like desorientation but I'm out of ideas.

if you feel sleepy, what is it that stops you from sleeping more? are you getting any help for your depression?

Hi, chat to your GP about this. 5-6 hours sleep is bad, and long term it's pure torture. I can say sleepeaze ( over the counter ) is excellent. It makes me sleep for about 10 hours, so don't take it in the early mornings ( 2/3 am ) if you have to get up for anything. But it helped me a lot. Again, chat with your GP, I can only say what worked with me, in combination with my medications, and allergies, it could be completely different for you

I am getting help, therapy sessions. I feel sleepy but I am not falling asleep. I lie in bed, trying to fall back asleep and simply cannot

try speaking to your GP. sometimes it is physical and not psychological. How warm or cold is your room? Is your mattress comfortable?
