I must add that this a new dr I went to,and im afraid to change drs again because of things they said,as I got such a hard time for changing drs in the first place,they done everything in there power to break me when joined because I feel the drs I left were'nt happy about it cause it made them look bad,and dr's stick together Ive been a nervous wreck since from interrigations,and intimidation off the staff and drs for wanting to join,they delayed repeat precriptions too the kind your not allowed to come of over night,causing severe anxiety ,I was coping fine till they done this to me,and they make recieving treatment near impposible,caused me sever distress and i havent been the same since.lost all my confidence and faith in the system,and myself.

I think you're doctor refuses to medicate you because he's not sure about your condition. You need to see another doctor. Actually, maybe a few more. In a case like yours, one or two doctors won't do. Your doctor should at least recommend you to someone else, what is his deal?! I hope you are able to get sleep soon. In the mean time, do whatever you can. "Alternative medicine" has been known to help when regular medicine won't. Try some psychological counseling even. Pray, if you are so inclined. I feel so bad for you, I can't imagine such insomnia.

I have sleep apnea. In order to find out that I did have it I had to spend a night at a sleep clinic wired up to several different machines. When the results were decoded they discovered that when I slept there were times I would stop breathing for a little while up to a minute or so. I got what is called a CPAC machine. I have no idea what the letters mean. What it does is inflates my lungs with 12 pounds of air every time I inhale, this causes my to exhale automatically. So when I use the machine, no sleep apnea. Go see a new doctor and ask him to do a complete physical. You might not need sleeping pills which are too dangerous in the first place.

No-one teaches us to sleep properly when we are young and thats the problem.
Sleeping is all to do with the brain, and sometimes people brains need retraining to go into "deep sleep" so you feel like you haven't been awake all night.
Loads of info about can be found at the website below and they also sell a guide on it. No hypnosis, no drugs or herbs, it really quite amazing and it works.

Sounds like you need a second opinion. Shop around for a new doctor.

go to a different doctor!
Have you tried natural sleep remedies?
Like lavender and your pillow etc?
