Restless and confused on waking several times a night.

I have had bouts of insomnia for many years. More recently due to an enlarged prostrate I wake several times a night. When I wake up it’s as if there is a puzzle to solve, like I’m half asleep and still partly dreaming. I tell myself that there is nothing to be concerned about but I still lay awake agitated for long periods. Typically I finally get some restful sleep from about 4 to 6am. My wife often tells me that I fidget in my sleep. I have never resorted to medication but as things worsen I am considering it.

  1. I often find that the less sleep I get the more confused I am when I wake up. Have you ever done something like a sleep study , is this something you would consider?

    1. Hi . I can see why you are considering medication. Have you talked with your doctor about your sleep issues? Your doctor might be able to recommend a medications or supplements that help. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
