So to start, let me give a little history of my sleep issue. I've always been one who take an average to half an hour to an hour to fall asleep. I need 9 hours of sleep a day to function. EVERYTHING changes when I had my first son. Before I had a kid, I assumed I'll have a sleeper, but nope, he was the worst sleeper in the world, seriously. He would wake up every 1.5 hour to nurse and nurse and nurse. Day and night, it continued.
Half year down the road, I was extremely tired all the time. I was never energized again. It was either from lack of sleep or lack of regular sleep I don't know. Even when my son turned 2, he would still wake up a few times a night. But by then, my sleep pattern is already so jacked up.
Finally after I tried to stay up late to catch up some personal time, at 1 o clock, I went to bed and I couldn't sleep. I took some benadryl, drink a little wine and was out. A few nights later, I still had the same problem. This time I drank more and more wine. I was dangerously mixing wine with drugs, but it was the only thing that could put me to sleep at the time. For someone who can barely drink half a glass of wine at a party, I finished half a bottle and was still unable to fall asleep.
That night, my husband caught me walking to the bathroom collapsing on him. That's when we both found out how serious my problem was. At the same time I was having insomnia, I was getting more and more angsy, shorter temper, and even a harder time to fall asleep. I was feeling very desperate.
