BUMP If You Are Currently Awake Due To Insomnia

Post Reply New Topic

Went to bed fairly early. I'll consider that a nap. Interrupted by cats.

Once again …. Really would like to get a nights rest, war going ,prices going up ,Ineffectively plumbers doing nothing but wasting my times , wants his super to tnspect it first next day. Need more rest badly , getting to be mentally fatiguing and I do not even work a normal 9-5. . Awe
Piffle !

^Sorry to hear that Jakki. I hope you get some rest soon.

I fell asleep at 5:30 PM, woke up a little after midnight. Decent rest, but odd hours. So feel better, but dislodged from my usual schedule. Headbanging has helped, but only so much.

Loolololzz the practical side to head banging…. ,! Big smiles

And yes…! Here we are again Folks the usual Insomnia blues … the wakefulness that just keeps on giving , throughout the whole next day ., a brain that doesn’t seem to know it’s own cycle some nights .
Hope anyone else reading this thread can eventually fall asleep . Rest well when you all get a chance too.

^Sorry you're up Jakki. I actually had some convulsions and other symptoms from sleep deprivation yesterday (thought they were seizures), and went to the ER. Slept a little better last night.

It's not that I can't sleep at all, I just don't want to fall asleep at night because I can't wake up anymore without something horrible happening. Of course, they'll happen even if I don't sleep, but you only get a few hours of escape from life only to wake up find out yet another thing in the world is going to kill us all.

There's a reason why people have "mean world syndrome". It's because the world IS mean. And cruel, and dangerous with everything in it trying to kill you. You can't relax for a minute.

I guess an asteroid will be the next thing very soon. I'll wake up and that will be the next thing. There's supposed to be at least a hundred asteroids heading for this planet right now. I curse the very day I was born.

It's 4:30 in the morning and I've only slept like an hour altogether, and now I'm wide awake and have enough energy to run a marathon.

I'm feeling panicky because I took a sleeping pill last night but I don't feel any sleepier. They don't appear to be working any more. So now I have nothing for back up if I can't get to sleep.

I just tried a sleep supplement for the first time. I went to bed a bit too early (didn't really sleep the night before), but I slept deeply. Problem is I still slept about 5-6 hours, just a little better than other nights. Tried falling asleep again and didn't, but hopefully will before too long.

I hope you get some rest. It's painful to be up so much.

Yep, here we go again, painsomnia.

Find myself back in this thread yet again wondering and hoping for precious and elusive , yet suppose to be natural little thing called sleep. Hope you all have better luck than me with your nocturnal search for sleep .

How does everyone define insomnia?

I always picture it means lying in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

For me it means not bothering to go to bed, because I know it's useless to even try.

Have had nights like that but my body gets so tired all I can do is to be horizontal.
Good luck Isabella .

Try again, fail again, fail better

Meh, I'm good - I don't feel tired yet.

I can't get enough of darkness.

OK actually yes I do feel sleepy, but my brain is wired so I won't even try for a few more hours.

That’s a lot of what it is for me, too. There’s a certain feeling my brain gets that I know means it won’t shut off no matter how exhausted I am. Not even racing thoughts or anything at all like that, just a sensation I can’t describe. Often I don’t bother trying when I feel that. Sometimes I can “rest,” where I never lose consciousness, but it’s better than nothing.
