I have not been sleeping for two weeks

Hi I am 27 and i can't sleep what ever I do I just can't sleep I am so tired and I just lay there all night wishing I could sleep come 4 am I foll asleep but got to be back up at 6 am for my kids and I am a single mum to two girls one with a special needs child

Have u been under a lot of stress lately or is there anything on your mind??? Have u tried going on YouTube and listening to meditation?? Reading a book in bed?? Hot milk or ovaltine?? Maybe go to the herbal shop like holland and Barrett and see if there is anything herbal u could try to relax u in the eve so u get a good nights sleep. Also r u on any medication?? X

Hi vikki2303 and yes I am very stressed but my oldest girl all the meetings I am going to to get her help wen she goes to big school she gets all the help now but wen she goes up she want get it with out a statement but there hard to get plus we in in a middle of mediation with the kids dad and there fighting not to see him so it feels like I losing a battle with everything trying to do my best and it feels like I watching my life throw a glass window and no I am not on tabs think I am stressed x

Oh bless u, sounds like your having a right ol time of it, maybe get yourself to the docs Hun as to much stress is very bad for health and with not sleeping and u being a single mum u need as much rest as possible. I hope u have luck with your eldest girl with all the meetings etc, maybe pop to the chemist and try something like kalms or St. John's wort to ease the stress u r under. I wish u well and if u ever need a chat then just message me and remember things can only get better and always think positive Hun x

I am a very happy and allwise smiling and never show that I am stressed or worryed wen in side I am sh*tting my self lol I am allwise on the go never really stop till the kids are in bed and I think wen I sit down that's wen all the panic sets in and everything hits me x so I do think ur right I need to go to the doctors tomorrow x so thank u for righting back to me and its nice I can talk to someone x xx

Hello Amy, You do seem like you have a lot going on in your life and this can affect your sleep. Have you tried Nytol or something similar from chemists or Holland and Barrett. You could speak to the pharmacist who could give you advice. I would stay clear of sleeping pills as they can be addictive and are only prescribed short term. 

Best wishes.

Hi no not tried any sleeping tabs I don't want to becouse I am the only adult in the house x

Hello Amy, Herbal tablets are different to sleeping tablets. They will give you a good nights sleep and should get you back into a pattern of sleeping. I don't agree with sleeping tablets from the GP. Herbal are natural, no chemicals. Talk to a pharmasist for advice.
