Hi Tamina, I have the same problem.I went to bed lastnight at midnite and did not wake up until 1pm today.I do this unless I have to get up for a doctors appointment.My medications make me drowsy and also I don’t have any pain while I sleep.I also think some of it is due to depression because when I wake up all I have waiting for me is pain.This is my life because when I walk or move my head I have severe pain.The medications help some but they also have the side effect of drowsiness.There is a medication called Provigil which is used mostly for people with narcolepsy.When I was working as an RN,the psychiatrists were prescribing it for patients with depression to give them energy.You can’t take it if you have any heart problems.There is a new medication out now called Nuvigil which is supposed to do the same thing.I think the main difference is Nuvigil is much more expensive because it is new.I haven’t checked but I believe Provigil may be generic now.I just started having this problem with sleeping all the time about 2 months ago when my psychiatrist had to stop one of my medications that really helped with my depression due to side effects.I am going to talk to him about Provigil when I see him because I am tired of living my life in the bed.Good Luck Tamina and let me know how things go.
