Well, its 5:25AM and I have not been able to fall asleep tonight. Last night I slept 2 hours, yesterday afternoon/evening I slept about 2 hours.

I am seeing a specialist about my chronic fatigue, so far have my thyroid now in check, found I have an adrenal gland disorder, deficients in some vitamins.

I had the MRI done, I was having daily seizures but that was due to the adrenal gland disorder. I met with the doctor about a sleep study, DH came with me, we all talked it over and the doctor felt I didn't have sleep apnea.

My problem is that my mind just spins when I try to sleep at night. I literally cannot stop obsessively thinking and thinking. What I didn't do that day, what I should have done, I'll think about things from 10-15 years ago.

I have tried some sleep aids with adverse side effects or they don't work. The best has been seroquel 25mg, the some times side effects being nightmares and the inability to wake up, thats about 75% of the time. I will also take a xanax to help with the anxiety.

But now my schedule has flip-flopped. I should have been able to go to sleep last night but I just couldn't. I know I will be dead tired by 9AM and the boys are out on spring break. DH went into work at 4:30 and figures he will have to take 1/2 day vacation.

Has anyone had this kind of problem? I hate this obsessive thinking and wish I could turn it off! Its crazy and doesn't make any sense! I've always done this but never this severe. There has been alot of stuff going on in my life over the past 2 years, alot of stress and depression.

Should I schedule a sleep study? I will have to be gone 24 hours. It gives me tremendous anxiety to be in a different place, being hooked up to monitors, being videoed (lol) for that long and being away from home and my boys.

Yesterday the specialist was kind of irked I didn't go thru with the sleep study, but I honestly don't know if my health problems are causing all this depression or all this depression is causing my health problems.
