    I dont go to bed unless im tired, dont like lying there thinking too much!
    I dont go to bed before around 1am usually....
    you could try reading? herbal tea maybe... and hot bath before bed helps some..

    Wish I had but my Dad [God rest his soul], always said do not worry if you can not sleep when you need to you will. In the meantime you have more waking hours to enjoy life.

    So despite having not slept in days that is one thing I do not worry about.

I'm currently on propanolol for an overactive thyroid and cipralex for the dreaded anxiety, I hate feeling doped up as I've not had to take meds for anything, but needs must and gotta see if they help.

    I am shattered as well. Not familiar with lustral. I believe it is an anti-depressant, but I am on propanolol and a lot of other drugs for both mental and physical health problems.

    Re: Anyone struggling to sleep

    The last few nights, when I have finally fallen asleep I wake up at 4am and then I can't get back to sleep!
    I'm sure something is waking me, maybe someone going to work or slamming a car door

    I have to say that I haven't even tried to go to sleep yet, I just don't feel tired. I suppose it's the anxiety as I do find it difficult to relax. Might get myself a hot chocolate .
