Hello everyone,
I was just curious as to what everyone's experiences have been with anxiety/stress related insomnia. Personally I never had any problems with sleeping my entire life until I entered one of the most stressful, anxious, and currently depressing periods of my life. The last two weeks I have struggled to get to sleep and to stay there. I was averaging about 2-3 hours a night until I was prescribed some Ambien. Now I can get around 5-6, but it is broken sleep and not very restful. I hate taking medication for this, but not sleeping has pretty much jaded me to the point of doing anything for some rest. Altogether my insomnia has lasted around two weeks now. Is this anywhere near normal?
