See I have no problem getting to sleep.. My problem is waking up about 50 times throughout the night... I have done the whole taking xanax to help me sleep, and also ambien and still wake up about 50 times a night.. people have suggestions for that? lol

Yea it seems like u have sleep apnea. Do you snore ? Do you gasp for air in ur sleep? are u tired most of the day? do u take naps during the day ? and if u do are they refreshing? if u do then most likely u do have Sleep Apnea u should go talk to ur doctor and ask him for a Sleep Study. Sleep apnea can lead to alot of problems starting from just beeing fatigued to high blood pressure and in some cases even death. its a pretty serious thing I would highly reccomend getting it checked out...

Yeah I used to work for a pulmonologist and would schedule sleep studies all the time!! Its not really a gasping for air sort of thing, its more of a jsut tossing and turning thing.. I dont really snore, I heard that I snore like on occaision, or once in a blue moon. I am not overweight (I know that is a factor too for snoring and sleep apnea) I think I am in shape for the most part, I play some sports when I can. I am tired most of the day mainly cuase I dont sleep so yeah i would rather lay in bed than have to go into work, lol. When I do wake up throughout the night, I am delerious as hell when I wake up, like really stumbly and confused.. thought that was kinda weird.. I have also tried to pay attention if I sleep better in a different bed thinking it was my mattress, but I really didnt notice much difference. to an extent I did, but I tend to sleep better elsewhere in general. So I am thinking to change out my mattress to a firmer mattress to see if that helps and then go from there.. I dunno, we'll see lol

But yeah I feel for people that cant sleep, esp when they really want to but cant, lol.. After a while it really can take a toll on your body, sucks...
