Looks like I'm in the right place! I have not slept well in over 3 months and it is beginning to absolutely wear me down. I average 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 hours per night and can't even take a short daytime nap. I have mentioned this to three Dr whom have skirted the issue. I take Xanax 2 mg at nite so sleep is initiated but it is short acting and I awaken around 1:30 to 2 am and can't go back to sleep. I might sleep 1 out of 4 nites, probably because i'm so exhausted. I go to the gym and work with a trainer 3x per week, walk 1000 ft every nite, and stationary bike 2 miles 3x per week. but am worthless and tired after my sessions. I do have Stage IV COPD and am on 02 . I think the Dr are concerned about respiratory depression with any sleep medications. Just researched the orexin drugs, has anyone tried those with success. Quite frankly there are days that I would really just like to go to sleep ad never wake up!
