Sleep disorder, I am afraid to sleep so what should I do?

01 Jun

I know I already posted this but i’m posting it again so I will have more than 2 good answers.
have only been getting about 3-4 hrs. of sleep for the past 3 months. I’m 13 and I know how much sleep your supposed to get when your a teen. Now i’m starting to show symptoms of sleep loss the first is #1 I always fall asleep in the middle of school even if were doing something interesting, I can’t help it. #2 I’m doing really bad in gym wich I used to be good at. #3 When I come home I always collapse on my bed and fall asleep imidiatley and it’s really hard to wake up. (fainting, maybe?) but my mom won’t let me anymore. #4 I’ve been thinking really weird things, and i’m amigining, seing, and sometimes even hearing things. I’m afraid of things that i’ve never been afraid of. I have also been crying because im always so sleepy. Some say that things that happened in the past can result in sleep disorders, even if they are not scary. If this si true then my dad had a brain tumor wich messed up his brain 4 yrs ago, my parents are divorced now. Wat I wan’t to know is what are some common sleep disorders among teens, I have never known why but the sleeping has always made me feel scared and vunurable when i’m in bed and it feels like if I close my eyes when I open them there will be something scary right in my face. Now that i’m imaganing this stuff is just scaring me more. My other question is what should I do about this? I asked my mom about going to the doctor but she said I was being stupid and most people who claim to have sleep disoreders are over reacting, and she won’t let me sleep in her room because a 13 yr old is to old to be sleeping in their parents room. I also know 2 people with sleeping disorders and I want to use the information to help them too. Tnks for reading, bye

What are some over the counter sleep aids I could use to help me fall asleep at night?

31 May

For the last few months I have been having extreme difficulty falling asleep. I just don’t get tired until nearly 7 in the morning. I have no trouble sleeping once I get to sleep; It’s getting to sleep that’s the problem. I am looking for any over the counter sleep aids that can help me simply become much more tired much earlier in the night. Does anyone have any suggestions?

What would need to be done to get prescription sleep aids?

Any information would be appreciated.

What is the cost of narcolepsy medication?

31 May

I’ve been interested in the cost of narcolepsy medication, and just treatment of narcolepsy in general. I’m pretty clueless as to how someone could get medication for the condition. Is it purely prescription based? How much are prescriptions costing you? Do free-clinics give out prescriptions or do you have to pay for medical insurance to go see a doctor for diagnosis and prescription? Are there any over-the-counter drugs available for narcolepsy?

I’m interested because I’m doing a study for a short documentary on narcolepsy.
