Does anyone else have problems with falling asleep and staying asleep sometimes? I get so frustrated because sometimes I'm so exhausted I can sleep 14+ hours in one night and other nights I can't sleep at all! It's awful.

I'm on trazadone and gabapentin to help me sleep at night. Can never stay asleep. Right now it's horrible pain going down both legs but I haven't hurt my back. I wake up probably 4 times a night and track it on my Fitbit. Never getting enough. Then too exhausted to work and stay in bed all day today. :(

In 1996 when I was diagnosed I had spent that year also with minimal sleep but I also had a set of twin so I thought that was normal. I was diagnosed with insomnia. The doctor's put me on Trazadone to this day I cannot sleep without it. My brain does not stop it allows me to sleep and brain to rest

I have so much trouble sleeping as well but as well I'm up and down all night. When I do fall asleep it's either time to get up for work and fall asleep there or sleep right through the alarm and get to work late! I actually took a leave of absence so I woulo lose my job!
