Insomnia? Welcome to Team NoSleep.

[FlamingoWrangler]

I was tired and relaxed enough to sleep, but it didn't happen until after 6 AM, and then it was very little. I've always had issues with sleep, but this is much worse than usual and it's driving me crazy.

Yikes! Sorry you're struggling so much. 🤞I hope tonight you can rest. 😴

I had to knock myself out last night as have a busy work day, took 50mg amitriptyline and 100mg diphenhydramine. Didn't work quickly but I eventually went, then had a lie in until just after 5am - half an hour than the usual wake up. Unfortunately I am low on the Ami and the sleep aid builds tolerance very quickly and isn't generally good for the body so it's not something I can do too often.

it’s frustrating. Sometimes you just need some sleep. Tolerance Is real. And that lie in— Until 5:30. You’re getting crazy man! 🤣🤣. I hope you can feel some rest soon.

I've realized that I'm stressing myself by putting pressure on myself to sleep at a certain time. I've had problems for years, so it's not going to change overnight. I need to do it more gradually, instead of going to bed at 10 and expecting I'll be able to do it right away when I'm not used to that at all. I think I can slowly but surely make it to a regular schedule, hopefully.

Back to normal, looks like I need 50mg amitriptyline to knock me out but don't have a lot. Woke up before 5am again. Stayed in bed and kind of forced myself to doze, had a light dream, but am up feeling groggy and my eyes are sore. Will see how I feel after coffees.

 

[1Lefty]

I fell asleep about 11, up at 4:30. Even after 2 mugs of coffee, I'm feeling dazed

peace

I fell asleep early in the morning again, but the difference is that I went to bed when I felt tired enough, I didn't force sleep, and I wasn't anxious. So I need to keep it in mind that I will fall asleep at some point, and stop putting pressure on myself to do so.

Wish I could do that, it's well known once you develop sleep anxiety it can make getting to sleep even harder. I just can't help it though, after weeks of this there's a sense I feel I HAVE to sleep, and then I don't. Again. I do try to tell myself that I am surviving somehow, even if I only get one hour, it's something.

I hope you can get some decent sleep.

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope that things will get easier at some point and you will be able to get more restful sleep.

It’s 2:45 am here, and I’ve been up for an hour. I got to bed around nine, so still getting 5 hours, but it’s been a few days in a row. I’m starting to feel the strain of physically needing sleep, and yet mentally unable to. I woke up from a nightmare about being punished in the hospital, again, and I’m trying to get back to sleep, but all I can do is obsess over how wrong it was of me to believe that asking for help would lead to me getting help. I had no idea I was putting myself in imprisonment.

What helps is knowing that resting still with your eyes closed is hugely beneficial, even if you don't sleep, being close is part of the way to being rested

 

[Angie]

strange noise from my bipap machine woke me after 3 hours - grr

 

[AttemptatOrthodoxy]

Dang, hope you get some soon. Sleep deprivation is literally the worst feeling possible

 

[AvidFan]

Truly back on the team. Got maybe 4 hours on Thursday night - says a lot that counts as a better night! But practically zero sleep last night.

 

[FlamingoWrangler]

It’s not looking good for sleep tonight. I am driving my brother to a university medical center tomorrow. We will be there ALL day for testing. 2/3 hours each way. Not a big deal, if you sleep. Oh well.
