If I continue having multiple nights in a row where I don't get much/any sleep, can I eventually wean myself off this sleep thing altogether? I just get so much more done when I'm wide awake at 4am
I'm not really insomniac-ing tonight I am so tired I could pass out right here while typing but I'm so anxious about this thing I've got to do tomorrow and I need the day to get off to a good start, and my mom never makes enough coffee, so if I'm not up by six I won't get any coffee, and of course I couldn't just set my alarm because I always just turn it off and go back to bed, plus I need to be on time for this particular thing, and what if I slept through the alarm and then I didn't make it to the thing at all, and so I just decided to stay up and now there's like one and a half hours until six and there's no point in going to bed and I hate myself and everything and I have a massive headache
Sometimes, just laying down and closing your eyes for an hour or so, even if you don't sleep, makes a huge difference compared to nothing. But I guess sleeping through the alarm might be a problem. :/
I would totally lay down and close my eyes for a bit, but if I do that, I will 100% fall asleep, because I'm dead tired right now, and if that happens....then I sleep through the alarm, and then I not only don't get coffee, I also miss my Very Important Appointment, and have to reschedule for the third time, at which point they are totally going to think I am massively flaking on them and maybe tell me that it just isn't working out and to not bother coming by. ....this is probably the Worst Case Scenario, but I am highly anxious and need everything about this to go well, and if it doesn't I expect the Worst Case Scenario.
It's another day where it's 5 am and I haven't slept. I have class in the afternoon and I don't think there's anything, anything I want more in this world than to go to sleep at midnight, wake up at 8:30, enjoy a morning of productive housekeeping and studying, be alert for my classes, and go back home knowing I'm getting my shit together and being responsible. I woke up so early. I am so tired. I took naps in the plane back home but it was so unsatisfying and I just... I'm tired of being this tired. I'm tired of not sleeping I'm tired of not doing anything right I think I'll just skip class and stay awake as long as I can so I can at least go buy my meds and clean the house a bit
Right now I'm so tired I'm extremely hyper, can't really think or speak or even remember anything. It's taking me an ungodly long time to get English correct. Got new, higher dosage for old and new meds! Lawlz. The pills are the size of my little pinkie nail. They have to be taken with food though. Hmm. Even with several prescsription drugs I wake up after three or four hours from night terrors.
Resurrecting this thread because it's exactly what I need. My brain is doing the thing where it just yells random shit at the top of its mental voice and then I have to to think about it instead of sleeping. Why this.
Urgh I hate it. It's sort of the brain equivalent of when you want to go to bed but the cats have decided Now Is Time For Play. Loud play.
Yes, exactly. I got my dog to settle an hour ago but unfortunately my brain is far more resistant to training.
Slept for nearly 18 hours last time I did, feels like I didn't at all. Super intense and vivid dreams. I am super Ill atm and really need restful sleep ;n; And now I'm so tired my eyes keep drifting in different directions, and yawns produce tears, and yet more sleep eludes me
Not quite usual insomnia, but it is hard to sleep in the hospital and tomorrow night I'm gonna be kept up so not sleeping now kinda sucks. Beep beep, whirr whirr, leg compression machine just keeps tightening and releasing.... And I keep thinking about what a full liquid breakfast is gonna be like.
I have no idea if this is insomnia or not but Spoiler: sleep probs I am having a heck of a time falling asleep even though I'm exhausted and now probably shouldn't try to sleep because if I do manage to fall asleep it is highly likely I *will* sleep through my alarm and the daily phone call to wake me up (I'll answer it half-asleep and not remember it at all) and be late for and/or miss work, and will get fired. I have not had a normal sleep schedule all week. All I want is to actually be able to either get away with sleeping very little or be able to get tired and go to bed at like 9 and wake up at 6. But no. Also my head feels weird and I already used up my one excused sick day per month. I really do not like this.
