Insomnia
"I&#039;m 25, female, full-time student and full-time worker, living in NYC. I&#039;ve been fighting insomnia triggered by anxiety my entire life, but it was never an issue until I reached my mid-twenties. When I lay down, I get a series of panic attacks that can keep me awake the entire night. Lately, I&#039;ve been going three days on ~5 hours of total sleep. I quit my job and my focus for school was diminished. I became scared and a total mess. I need proper sleep to be able to function the next day. I was recently prescribed Clonazepam through my psychiatrist and it is, seriously, a blessing from the universe. I take .5 mg when I start feeling sleepy and, within an hour, I&#039;m in dreamland. I don&#039;t have to fight for sleep or get anxious about sleeping."
