A member asked:
Why can't i fall asleep, when i am sleep-deprived (3-4 hours a night of sleep for the past week), depressed, stressed, and know sleep will help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficulty falling: asleep is often associated w/anxiety while waking up early and not returning to sleep is associated w/depression. Periodic waking is associated w/overall light sleep. Please see you doc who may order a sleep study. A psychologist can help w/stress management. Peace and good health. Natural treatment includes melatonin supplement but w/professional guidance. Stop all stimulants after noon.
