Damn neck problem has my sleep pattern all messed up. Sleep for 2 hours, up for 2 hours. This is getting old, fast. |
Been doing it for almost 2 years OP..lucky to get 4 hours of sleep a night, after a week or two of it I will then sleep most of a day and back to no sleep. Mines from a C-6-7 fusion last july, followed by complete rotator cuff/ slap tear surgery on my left shoulder last october, that was then followed up by left wrist surgery last december......I dream of feeling "normal" again...doesn't look promising though....

Booze.
Or. Prescription pain killers. Good old fashion doctor dope. Don't mix them. Not a good plan. Just ask any number of rock stars. Oh, wait... Seriously, though: Is this a recurring pain? Like, permanent? Or a new and temporary thing? Like a recent non major injury? |

I've got bulging/herniated disks at C5/C6 and C6/C7 plus spinal stenosis. I see neuro on Wednesday and hopefully find out what is going to be done to fix my neck. Quoted:

Quoted: My insomnia is 100% brain activity not pain, so not much use to you but ambien is what allows me slumber. Granted, tonight I've had to double up everything to get there, but oh well. As long as I wake up, that's all the matters, right? Insomnia for me too. I've slept a total of 4 hours since Sunday. ETA: I will admit this is probably one of the worse bouts. Stress from school and putting my dog down over the weekend is exacerbating it. |

I hate that too, for me it's like I can't calm my mind down. Always thinking about stupid bullshit.  Fuck I hope I can crash soon, shit would be awesome. |

Finals week for me was "read the book for the first time" week so it went without saying there was no sleep. |

Man, I feel for you. When carpal tunnel gets bad, you can't sleep more than 3-4 hours without waking up in serious pain, and it does totally fuck with your sleep. Maybe not the same thing you're experiencing, but along the same lines.
Hope the doc can help you out. |
