Alissa, hang in there, as I know what you are going through. Personally, I slept 2 hrs on Friday night, 1 hr on Sat., 2 on Sunday, and a whopping 5 1/2 last night. I was restless and irritated that I couldn't sleep, which only made falling asleep more difficult. I am taking 50 mg of Trazodone, which seems to get me to nod off, but if I wake for any reason, I stay awake. Surprisingly, I am not tired, even after these short nights of sleep, so I am doing my best to get out of bed if I am not asleep, and get on with the day. Reading will usually make you tired, so try that. G
