"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."
