Do You Have Sleep Issues, What Type And Has Your Dr Given You Anything To Help And If So What Have You Taken?

I sometimes go weeks without a full nights rest, recently I have only been getting 1-2 hrs of sleep at a time and it recently caused me to have a seizure from lack of sleep.

A little bit, but I may be a little wound up before my bed time, I think it's a combo of stuff, age my condition and meds etc, It happens now and then, I usually am a little wound and after I get into my bed and 15 or 30 min later drift off to sleep, a little longer sometimes but not often, my opinion

I don’t have issues with insomnia I have an issue with the exact opposite. I sleep for probably 9-10 hours at night, I could probably sleep even longer if I didn’t have to get up to take my meds, and could still take a nap during the day. I struggle with sleeping so deep that almost nothing will wake me up.

My Dr just prescribed something today finally! I am on a lot of meds and they don't like to mix drugs (i guess) so they always try to tell me to try other stuff melatonin never seems to work, i have even tried night time cough syrup, they finally gave me Seroquel which I will try tonite. I was just wondering if others have tried it or other meds for sleep.
