Ask The Sleep Experts

I am a 21-year-old male and I am having problems with fatigue and sluggishness despite the fact that I exercise and eat as healthy as possible. I am thinking it may be due to my lack of sleep. I find it hard to get to sleep at night and when I finally do, I wake up early and I wake up several times throughout the night. Sometimes, I feel some sort of an “electric shock” enough to jolt me from sleep. Do you have information regarding this? Any ideas how I can deal with the fatigue and sleeplessness? (more…)

I have been suffering from insomnia for decades now and I have tried almost all sleep medications to no avail. Recently, my doctor started me on Rozerem. I have been on it for a month but the best sleep I got so far is 4 hours. I am starting to get more depressed from lack of sleep that I resorted to taking Rozerem with Ambien. I am currently on therapy but it’s the sleep loss that’s bothering me. Are there any other med options out there? (more…)
