Insomniaaaa :(

[num1habsfan]

UGH its 5:30 am already and I still CANT fall asleep. I'm so tired that I cant keep my eyes open, yet actually falling asleep is impossible.

I can only think of one suspect: gluten. I sure feel more stomach pains than normal, or maybe its just the pains themselves that is causing it. i don't know man, i just HATE IT. I NEED to be sleeping, and its so stupid i canttttt

EDIT: Make that 6:30 now... ok seriously, what do you guys do to help when it gets this bad??

I pretty much just whine about it. I've melatonin and kava and they sometimes help but I wake up feeling hung over.

I'm finally today getting over a week of bad sleeping, but of course I had to get up and come to work...

It's funny, for years I had periodic bouts of insomnia, and I was always a light sleeper, early riser. I never connected them to my stomach issues or problems with my hands and feet.

Now, I'm the heaviest sleeper ever! I fell asleep on the coach the other night, and my wife said she just about had to drop-kick me to wake me up. And I keep sleeping through alarms, I think I need to get a loader one! Without a snooze.

I'm sorry that you are having truble sleeping. I would suggest going for a walk/jog to get tired... But you may not feel like it and the weather isn't always all that warm. A glass of wine may also help?

I've been gluten free for 5 weeks now. I have always had a hard time going to sleep and staying asleep. Finally in the last week I'm sleeping better and having trouble waking up. I find if I wait until my body is ready to go to sleep, when I go to bed I usually go to sleep. I know it is frustrating.

Yea, I had insomnia for years. Mine ended up being due to the gluten. My insomnia went away along with everything else when I went gluten-free.

I used to turn on the TV to something like the history channel, and just doze off to it. Even if I didn't fall asleep any faster, it helped to not stress out about it. If I just laid there, I would obsess about it and make it worse.

I only get it now when I am glutened but it is HORRIBLE...like you described. Exhausted but you can't sleep. I take prescription medication when this happens. Otherwise, not only am I glutened but I'm so comatose the next day that I feel even worse (9and do dumb things like put my socks in the refrigerator instead of the hamper.

I didnt get to sleep til about 8 am --it was already light outside . So i ran yesterday on about 2 hours to sleep. I didnt really feel too much out of the ordinary pains, just the insomnia which is why i suspect gluten. Usually I'm the one with excessive sleeping and deep sleeping.

And it dont help that I know have a cold (sore throat, etc) so i gotta deal with that too kinda keeping me up/wearing me out.

I don't know if this will help you or not, but it might!
