    Sleeping issues..

    Lately I've been waking up feeling tired, getting 8hrs of sleep every night like I should be, but one thing I notice is that my eyes are extremely sore in the morning and dry, so I had my friend check on me last night while I was asleep, and they said my eyes were open as if I were awake and they even were kinda startled to see it and thought that I had been woken up when they had come into the room.

    Is there any like.. remedy to make it so my eyes will not open on their own in my sleep? or is it just something I'm going to have to deal with?

    Something to deal with, and in all probability, not related to your sleep issues anyways.

    You should be happy with this ability to scare people.

    Normally I'm fine with the occasional freak the fuck out of people, but with it effecting my everyday life, it's kinda annoying and.. not that great D:

    Oh man, that shit has weird side effects on some people. I too have sleeping issues and rely heavily on Tylenol PM from time to time.

    lunesta would be a better recommendation than ambien.

    Yes, big time. Lunesta worked great for me as well, don't mess with ambien.

    It could be possible that you are exhibiting the signs of sleep apnea. Do you know if you snore a lot and/or overweight? I'd suggest checking it out on webmd or another site to see if you are exhibiting any signs or symptoms of it.

    People with sleep apnea sometimes never get into REM and that's where your body gets the most rest, and if you are sleeping with your eyes open, that's a real possibility.

    When I had Psychology, my prof made us study our sleep patterns, and she insisted that pills aren't a great choice. If you're getting 8 hours of sleep and still tired, maybe they'll help. I figure they're mostly for people who can't fall or stay asleep, but I'm no expert.

    What is better about Lunesta? I have had sleeping issues for years and just recently went to the doctor about it. He nodded and handed me a prescription for Ambien and said it was the most effective.

    He did warn me about some of the potential side effects. But I haven't experienced any of them after about 20 pills so far.


    *edit
    OP you can also buy Melatonin supplements at the drug store.

    I always slept with my eyes open when I was little (up to like age 10) lol. I don't even know why but I'd just fall to sleep with my eyes open, scared the shit out of some people, I really wish I could still do it. No idea on you're problem though, cause I just started going to sleep with my eyes closed and never had a problem since (wasn't really a problem back then either).
