I read through and I can tell you that it can be a combination of many factors that causing your sleeping issues. It could be a number of things that result in your ability to stay asleep and get the amount of rest your body requires to be healthy and active during the day.
Sometimes lack of certain hormones and nutrients can contribute to your brain cells not getting the proper nutrients they require such as choline for one example. Depression is an imbalance in these chemicals that can certainly cause sleep disturbances and irregularities but it is not the only cause.
Sometimes people have an over stimulated nerve system which can cause a number of issues including lack of proper sleep and can cause chronic fatigue syndrome, which is a condition that resembles and nearly mimics clinical depression however with some key differences being that those with CFS still want to partake in activities they enjoy but lack the energy to do so which leads to the misdiagnosis, but it is also true that some individuals may have both clinical depression and chronic fatigue syndrome.
My advice would be to seek out a holistic medical practitioner such as a naturopathic MD and explain your symptoms, share your medical records and test results, keep a journal or log of everything and keep it together to help explain the whole picture. You may also want to look into getting blood tests done for vitamin deficiencies because a lack in many vitamins can cause sleep problems one of the most common being vitamin D deficiency.
I suffer sleep issues as well and wish you the best of luck in any case.
Thank you so much Bazir, and I wish you the best of luck with your sleep trouble as well. I will definitely look into everything you just mentioned. A lot of what you said seemed very possible.
Maybe this is a dumb answer but I don't mean it that way.
Try rubbing some Vicks Vaporub under your nose and maybe even a little in your nose. It helps to keep breathing well and the smell of mint is said to stimulate psychic courage as well (which might be a reason why you keep waking up)
For any of you that have difficulty sleeping or staying asleep like I do, and always feeling tired-sleepy, how do you cope with it? How do you manage your daily commitments despite not feeling very good?

To everyone else that has helped me thank you, but to those that have mailed me claiming to be a powerful wizard, and have tried to get me to mail them some where other then here, I'm not interested. Also those that claim they know a powerful spell caster, I'm not interested. I'm hoping for legit advice and solutions.
I'm sorry for asking more questions, but I'm still trying to figure this. It feels like I'm getting closer to understanding my problem because of everyone's advice. It could be very possible that I have several issues that are causing my fatigue. I very well could be deficient in Vitamin D, and magnesium. A portion of it could be my depression as well. The third portion could be a lack of sleep.
About the lack of sleep issue. I have noticed that I dream every night, but when I wake up my eyes are always blood shot no matter what. There are times when it feels like I lack the oxygen I need when I breathe. Sometimes it feels similar to how I felt when I used a mouth piece, but sometimes it doesn't.
Has anyone used a sleep apnea machine and had success? I would love to read your story. I need to do more testing with my sleep apnea machine. I have a nose mask, and not the full face because it kept breaking the seal. One of the other problems I have had with Nose mask is that, there might be too much air coming into my nose. It makes a sound like I'm snoring. I may have to turn it down to help this work better. I tried the nose mask with tape on my mouth so the air couldn't escape.
About the vitamin defeciency. This could be possible. If I remember correctly when I took Vitamin D in 2012, it seemed to help a bit with my fatigue. So I'm going to try it again.
There are several family members on both sides that have very similar sleep problems as me.
I haven't used a cpap (for sleep apnea) machine myself, but my mom has had used a cpap for almost 20 years and has had wonderful results. She was like a different person after she started treatment.
Theresa_Riot, wow that is great news. I'm so glad it helped your mom in a significant way. Thanks for sharing that story. It also gives me hope in it working for me too. I'm going to continue to try to get my machine to the correct setting.
I have a question- I have depression, and I have read that depression can cause sleep problems. I'm unsure but this could be the cause of my problem. Is there anyone that has depression and has trouble sleeping?
What is your method to trying to work through it?
