Strange sleep cycle

Strange sleep cycle

In early April I couldn't sleep due to noise.  I purchased ear plugs and began taking benadryl.  I was on benadryl for two weeks, two pills were not enough after two weeks so I stopped taking it.  Then I remembered I had valium because it was prescribed prior to having an MRI done (I'm claustrophobic).  For three nighs I took 2mg of valium, on the first night I slept for 7 straight hours and on the other two nights I slept 4 hours and then woke up with symptoms of anxiety and a severe headache.  For the last two weeks I've been sleeping as follows:  One night I sleep 4 hours, the following I sleep almost none, the following I sleep 6-7 hours, then again 4 hours and back to barely any.  A friend reccommended melatonin supplements which don't help.  I've tried "sleep" by nature made.  Nothing seems to help.  When I'm falling asleep, I suddenly wake up.  I used to get palpitations but not anymore.  Now I feel as if something is rushing in my body and I get frequent urination, like every hour, and sometimes 2-3 bowel movements.  I'm not diabetic, my thyroid is fine, my heart is also fine.  What can I do?  Should I ask my doctor for ambience?

My husband and I have been experiencing the same thing? Sleeping a couple of hours waking up not being able to go back to sleep, waking up very early. It may not be you but something they are putting in the water or on the air. I would try to ride it out. Maybe an over the counter sleep aid so you can get at least 'one good nights sleep' but don't get hooked. A herbal alternative is Valerian it really works.

It might be who knows.  My husband fell asleep late last night and woke up early, he says he constantly wakes up.
