I used to have insomnia, too. When I realized I couldn't sleep, instead of medicating myself, I just stayed up!! I cleaned up the house, mopped the floor, washed dishes, watched the news. Worrying about how much sleep I wasn't getting only made it worse.

I was up for almost two whole days, and do you know what happened that night? BAM!! When I hit the pillow I was out like a light! Your body needs sleep, period. When it's deprived of rest, you'll hit a point where you just shut completely down and nothing will wake you up.

It sounds to me like you have a lot on your mind. Write your thoughts down in a journal--even if you don't know exactly what to say. Write about how you're feeling, get what's in your head out on paper. When you actually see the words you put down, it helps you to self-diagnose your problem. But if you're going to see a doctor anyway, I prettymuch just scored two points.

Hope you get better soon!

There is a fun way to beat insomnia that I learned and is unknown to the healthcare community. I had insomnia so bad a surgeon could not even put me out with drugs for a surgery! He was alarmed and told my wife: " Your husband has to get off these sleeping pills!!." Indeed, I was the Sleeping drug King--one to go to sleep, another to stay asleep (not that they did any good :( And now I sleep way better with no medications at all, falling alseep in five to ten minutes and I sleep 7 hrs a night and feel great, as that is the sleep my body needs to feel fully rested and refreshed.

Believe me, I am the insomniac from Hell to the drug companies if the word gets out how I am healed. Insomnia drugs are the new killer category and sales are taking off big time as dull, boring insomniacs apply this bandaid to their problem.

Of course many seem to tolerate the misery of insomnia so I don't think the drug cos. have any worries. Because People want a magic bullet like a drug to instantly heal them, rather than possibly consider making any changes to themselves. Like they got insomnia instantly and seriously fix the source of the problem with a pill, herb, elctronic gizmo that buzzes in their ear, etc, etc, etc.?

But if anyone is interested, the answer I found to insomnia deals with the source of the problem, rather than trying to put a bandaid treatment on it. The problem is a lack of the peace that encourages sleep when your are tired. Insomniacs can't sleep because their mind lacks the peace reserves they should have. I found the solution when I noticed that kids are the best sleepers and I ought to learn from kids and admire them and learn to love joking around and learning new jokes (ahajokes.com is a great site for this) and to look at pictures of puppies often and to watch funny kid movies like "Finding Nemo" and Shrek. Kids love puppies and jokes; I share both with my kids. And read light verse like that by Ogden Nash, "Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker". But you know, adults seem impressed with their own dullness and if you don't have the gift to sleep like most people have, then you are probably a boring adult, the reason for your insomnia and lack of peac. You desperatelly need to lighten up!!In fact, you should replace puritan with insomniac for the following: HL Mencken said puritans have “haunting fear that someone, somewhere might be happy.” Religion can really take peace and sleep away. I find it incredible that Jesus, the biggest religous figure of the western world, told people to become like children and he was like a child and an incredible sleeper, says scripture.

Few boring insomniac adults would consider becoming childlike and a lot more fun to be with so this solution probably isn't of much help after all. Kids are pretty much viewed as cute and a heck of a lot of responsibility by dull insomniac adults, rather than the treasures that they are.

Your doctor can prescribe a tranquilizer like valium or librium, since you seem to have anxiety as well as just insomnia.

Or, s/he might p[rescribe Ambien or some hypnotic like Rozerem--which is a melatonin stimulator.

Hypnosis might help. And there are sleep disfunction clinics, that you go and become a patient at.

You have a clinical problem,
although you didn't say how far back it goes, nor how old you are.

Over--the--counter, Benadryl antihistamine will produce drowsiness, but you sound like you need a professional to help.

Some people just don't need much sleep. But you describe anxiety and shaking, which is more than simple insomnia, it seems to me.

Insomnia is characterized by an inability to sleep and/or to remain asleep for a reasonable period. Insomniacs typically complain of being unable to close their eyes or "rest their mind" for more than a few minutes at a time. Both organic and nonorganic insomnia constitute a sleep disorder. It is often caused by fear, stress, anxiety, medications, herbs or caffeine. An overactive mind or physical pain may also be causes. Finding the underlying cause of insomnia is usually necessary to cure it.
Three different types of insomnia exist. Insomnia may be classified as transient, acute (short-term), and chronic. Insomnia lasting from one night to a few weeks is referred to as transient. This is generally the case for most people, as one often suffers from jet lag or short-term anxiety. If this form of insomnia continues to occur from time to time, the insomnia is classified to be intermittent. Acute insomnia is the inability to consistently sleep well for a period of three weeks to six months. However, after this time, the person does not experience insomniatic episodes. Insomnia is considered to be chronic, the most serious, if it persists almost nightly for at least a month, and sometimes longer.
A person can have primary or secondary insomnia. Primary insomnia is sleeplessness that is not attributable to a medical or environmental cause. Secondary insomnia means that a person is having sleep problems because of something else, such as a health condition, an example of which would be generalized anxiety disorder.
Some of the most common causes of insomnia are:
Circadian rhythm sleep disorders cause insomnia at some times of the day and excessive sleepiness at other times of the day. Common circadian rhythm sleep disorders include jet lag and delayed sleep phase syndrome. Jet lag is seen in people who travel through multiple time zones, as the time relative to the rising and falling of the sun no longer coincides with the body's internal concept of it. The insomnia experienced by shift workers is also a circadian rhythm sleep disorder.
Parasomnia includes a number of disorders of arousal or disruptive sleep events including nightmares, sleepwalking, violent behavior while sleeping, and REM behavior disorder, in which a person moves his/her physical body in response to events within his/her dreams. These conditions can often be treated successfully through medical intervention or through the use of a sleep specialist.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease causes repeated awakenings during the night due to unpleasant sensations resulting from stomach acid flowing upward into the throat while asleep.
Mania or Hypomania in bipolar disorder can cause difficulty falling asleep. A person going through a manic or hypomanic episode may feel a reduced need for sleep. Sleep deprivation can worsen a manic episode, or cause hypomania to develop into mania.
Pain can produce insomnia and finding effective ways to treat pain can provide relief. A common misperception is that the amount of sleep one requires decreases as he or she ages. The ability to sleep for long periods, rather than the need for sleep, appears to be lost as people get older. Some elderly insomniacs toss and turn in bed and occasionally fall off the bed at night, diminishing the amount of sleep they receive.
Insomnia is a common side-effect of some medications, and it can also be caused by stress, emotional upheaval, physical or mental illness, dietary allergy and poor sleep hygiene. Insomnia is a major symptom of mania in people with bipolar disorder, and it can also be a sign of hyper-thyroidism, depression, or other ailments with stimulating effects.
In addition, a rare genetic condition can cause a prion-based, permanent and eventually fatal form of insomnia called Fatal Familial Insomnia.

Treatment for insomnia
In many cases, insomnia is caused by another disease or psychological problem. In this case, medical or psychological help may be useful. All sedative drugs have the potential of causing psychological dependence where the individual can't psychologically accept that they can sleep without drugs. Certain classes of sedatives such as benzodiazepines and newer non-benzodiazepine drugs can also cause physical dependence which manifests in withdrawal symptoms if the drug is not carfully titrated down.
Many insomniacs rely on sleeping tablets and other sedatives to get rest. The most commonly used class of hypnotics prescribed for insomnia are the benzodiazepines. This includes drugs such as temazepam, diazepam, lorazepam, nitrazepam and midazolam. These medications can be addictive, especially after taking them over long periods of time.
Non-benzodiazepine prescription drugs, including Ambien and Lunesta, are quickly replacing benzodiazepines as a first-line treatment for insomnia. There are controversies over whether these non-benzodiazepine drugs are superior to benzodiazpines. These drugs appear to cause both psychological and physical dependence, and can also cause the same memory and cognitive disturbances as the benzodiazepines along with morning sedation.
The antihistamine diphenhydramine is widely used in nonprescription sleep aids, with a 50 mg recommended dose mandated by the FDA. In the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and other countries, a 50 to 100 mg recommended dose is permitted.
Some antidepressants such as mirtazapine, trazodone and doxepin have a sedative effect, and are prescribed off label to treat insomnia. The major drawback of these drugs is that they have antihistaminergic, anticholinergic and antiadrenergic properties which can lead to many side effects.
Low doses of Atypical antipsychotics such as quetiapine(Seroquel) are also prescribed for their sedative effect but the danger of neurological and cognitive side effects make these drugs a poor choice to treat insomnia.
Some insomniacs use herbs such as valerian, chamomile, lavender, hops, and passion-flower. Valerian has undergone the most studies and appears to be modestly effective.
Alcohol may have sedative properties, but the REM suppressing effects of the drug prevent restful, quality sleep. Hangovers can also lead to morning grogginess.
Some traditional remedies for insomnia have included drinking warm milk before bedtime, taking a warm bath in the evening; exercising vigorously for half an hour in the afternoon, eating a large lunch and then having only a light evening meal at least three hours before bed, avoiding mentally stimulating activities in the evening hours, and making sure to get up early in the morning and to retire to bed at a reasonable hour. Pomegranates are also believed to be able to help insomniacs sleep.
Traditional Chinese medicine has included treatment for insomnia throughout its history. A typical approach may utilize acupuncture, dietary and lifestyle analysis, herbology and other techniques, with the goal of resolving the problem at a subtle level. Although these methods have not been scientifically proven, some insomniacs report that these remedies are sufficient to break the insomnia cycle without the need for sedatives and sleeping tablets. Warm milk contains high levels of tryptophan, a natural sedative. Using aromatherapy, including lavender oil and other relaxing essential oils, may also help induce a state of restfulness. Melatonin has proved effective for some insomniacs, mostly in regulating the sleep/waking cycle.
The more relaxed a person is, the greater the likelihood of getting a good night's sleep. Relaxation techniques such as meditation have been proven to help people sleep. Such techniques can lower stress levels from both the mind and body, which leads to a deeper, more restful sleep

And you are adivised to:
Avoid all stimulating substances/activities such as caffeine and exercise before bedtime.
Avoid distractions in the bedroom including excessive light and noise, television, alarm clocks, etc.
Avoid stressful thoughts and feelings before bedtime and while attempting to fall asleep.
Combat worries and preoccupations about the day ahead by tending to plans and schedules before bedtime.
Background noise, such as a fan or soft rhythmic music, can serve to ease some individuals into sleep.
