    Poor thing. I certainly can sympathize. First of all, the valium tells me you have other underlying problems. When you are an anxious person you tend to have racing thoughts. This means your body is tired but your mind continously is in fast motion. You need to see your doctor about having a sleep study. This is where you go to the hospital for a assigned evening. They have a certain area of the hosp. that strictly does sleep studies. You will be hooked up to leeds on your scalp and heart area. You are given a comfortable bed with all the comforts of home. When you do fall asleep, you are monitored by a camera in your room by a tech. that will give all the brain waives and cardiac strips to the specialist to interput. He or she can then tell you what the problem is and how possibly to remmedy the situation. Insurance usually pays for these studies.

    Being so deprived of sleep as you are could be the reason you are anxious and need medication as valium. Good luck.
