I can't sleep. I was up till almost 3 am yesterday and now I can't sleep again and it's almost 2. I took freaking sleep medication and I *still* can't sleep. Yes, I'm depressed. Life sucks. I'm trying to figure out the quickest way to get out of a verbally abusive marriage with the least hurt to my kids. I also have to get a new job because my husband works with me and I don't want to have to see him after I leave. I also have epilepsy and I'm worried this sleep deprivation is going to cause me to have seizures.

Damn, this sucks. :cry:

i can't sleep either. My GF found out she had stomach cancer recently on my birthday and since then my trouble sleeping has worsened significantly. But when i do finally get to sleep, sorta almost pass out the moment my head hits the pillow.

I don't think I could take sleep medication, I'd be worried about all the people who seem to be dying in their sleep. My advice would be for you to do some exercise or something else to thoroughly tire your body and mind out.

I bought some Melatonin and it worked for me, it's over the counter. My brain doesn't like to shut down at night, but this actually helped.
