See a sleep doc: There are over 80 different sleep disorders. I would recommend you see a sleep disorder specialist. Your insomnia is obviously quite severe. Have a proper workup done so that you don't have complications down the road. Best wishes.

Klonopin (clonazepam) & sleep: With insomnia, it's very important to discover its cause. Sometimes this is related to sleep hygiene issues that can be addressed: http://tinyurl.Com/ltjeke3 sometimes the insomnia is part of depression, and a psychiatrist & psychologist can be the best help. Other times, sleep studies are needed. Klonopin (clonazepam) is habit forming, and can oversedate you. There are better meds for sleep if needed.
