Hi, my name is Ellen and I'm about 19. Lately I've been having problems falling asleep. When I go to shut my eyes, I feel light headed and my eyes begin to feel heavy. I often times open my eyes right away when I close them because I feel like something bad will happen if I don't. When my eyes are open, I feel just fine. I don't know what to do.
Thanks for your post Ellen.
It sounds like you should speak to you doctor as soon as possible about this. There are many possible reasons you could be having trouble falling asleep. Please talk to a physician as soon as you can.
In the meantime, you might like to read some of our materials on Sleep Disorders. They could help you to understand your symptoms a bit better which could help you and your doctor come to a diagnosis moe quickly.
Hope this helps. Please post back here soon so we can see how you are feeling.
All the Best, SMM
