Hi, I am a 15 year old girl and cannot sleep! For the past maybe 11 days. I will wake up every 10 minutes or less from my sleep gasping for air? I'm not asmetic or have any medical problems? Is it stree.. or something? What would cause that? And I am FOR SURE not pregnant! I know for a fact! So what's going on?

It's time to tell your parents and go to the family doctor for evaluation.

They won't bring me. My mom is a ***** and my dad lives 3 hours away from me. I have no other family to bring me to my doctor. Kind of sucks :/

Please be patient with me and my questions. Why won't your mom take you?

Because she doesn't care about me. I live in that kind of home. Sucks. So I am exhuasted when I go to school and my friends think I'm just being all depresso and won't listen when I tell them I'm tired.
Is there another reason I could be having these sleepless nights?

Are you overweight? Do you usually sleep on your back?

Is there a school nurse?

No, No, and no. Plus I have no medical conditions. So I don't know.

Do you go to a public or private school?

This could be some kind of sleep apnea. Or a form of night terrors. Do you have bad dreams sometimes?

How long ago did this start? Do you have any other symptoms like thirst or a headache?

Public school.
I don't normally have dreams now, seeing as I can't sleep. No time for dreams.
I never really had night terrors, I think I did once when I was really little.
Umm, maybe 2 weeks now.
I thought I wasn't eating properally so now I rarely eat.. by doing so I felt kind of the same, but my headaches went away once I started eating one meal a day.

If there's no school nurse, talk about this sleep problem to a teacher you like and trust.
