I retired after 45 years from food service I always ha a schedule and something to do retirementwas a very bad idea
I took lunesta for about 6 months then quit cold turkey because started cbt and they told me the same thing if u want to beat this get off the pills.but I still took one every once in awhile.I would still only get about 4 hours sleep.I haven't took anything now for 6 days now.the other night I went to bed at 1130 woke up at 315 went back to bed 0400 then woke up at 6 am so I know I can sleep.last night I only got about 2 hours .I just don't know what I;m doing wrong.I just retired after 40 years of wrking 20 army and 20 yers doc.my dr. says its anxirty and not working anymore.i'm used to being busy and useful and now I don't feel that way anymore.I know if I waS still working I would not have this.I do work 1 day a week at the soup kitchen for about 8 hours and when your not sleeping good im just so exhausted .I used to sleep 6 to 8 hours every day no problem now hardly anything .I hope that I have told u enough about me that u might think of something else that might help.I do have a sleep schedule .go to bed at 11pm but not until i'm tired and up by 5am.I also have made my bedroom look more like a bedroom and not an office.I have tried everything but nothing works.thanks for writing what is your name ?
I try to go to bed at 11but not until i'm sleepy which doesn't come very often then i'm supposed to get up at 5am.i guess I average 1hour anigt if i'm lucky not to good huh. I;ve had this to long please help if you can thank you leon
every doctor that I've seen for my problem has told me that if I would get rid of my anxiety I would get my sleep back .sleep medicine dr. dr.Harvey where i'm taking my cbt classes in Denver and my dr.at fort carson. evan my dr. at mental health. my own son told me that I have a thinking problem not a sleeping problem.me personally don't really feel that Is what it is but you know how the saying goes ,if 5 people tell you the same then its probally true. I think that its the way that I retired and the circumstances that happened that day is why I have this .in fact I know it is.
