Sleep issues have been going on - on and off for years. I only work 20 hrs a wk on job I love at a Univ - no problem. I'm not depressed and my blood pressure (toprol and aceon) and cholesterol (simvastatin) are under control. I think I'm just afraid to try to sleep without taking something. My next quex is: For the past 10 yrs or so, I now and then get horrific spasms in my right thigh area - only when I'm lying down or move my leg in an unusual way. The pain is unimaginable for about 10-15 min and then goes away leaving soreness. I'd love to do yoga or pilates, but afraid to try. I've been told to drink quinine water, but it would probably take gallons and I think there is salt in the water. I'm at a loss. Thanks for any help.

It is possible you could be having an anxiety related disorder. Sleep deprivation can also cause muscle spasms in the body. Certain diseases like Fibromyalgia can also cause muscle spasms, weakness and sleep disturbance.
It is best you consult a leading Psychiatrist who will do a complete assessment and find the proper management for your condition.
