Insomnia? Welcome to Team NoSleep.

[Jezah81]

that’s awful. Sorry You struggling so much. are you still trying to read At bedtime? ever try sleep apps? I have heard they can help. Idk which ones. keep trying.

anyone ever use a “sleep app”? Helpful?

Yes I tried reading last night but it didn't have an effect on me. Its funny you mentioned the sleep apps, I was looking into it about half an hour ago. I found one called Headspace. What do you guys think of that? Anyone heard of it?

Yes, that sounds familiar. I haven’t used it, but a friend used it quite regularly. i hope we can get more info about it.

I use an app called mynoise. It's got a menu of about 2 dozen different sorts of soothing sounds all of which have controls so you can further customise them. For me, the rain sound works well atm. I set it to run for an hour and it gradually goes silent at the end. It functions whether your phone or computer is on aeroplane mode or not.

I woke up middle of the night after a bad dream, fell back asleep, and woke up early with anxiety.

This one's got breezes, chimes, rain and flowing water, so it's soothing as long as the bird noise slider is set to 0 lol.

Squawking birds don’t relax you? Who knew?? lol.
sounds like a nice program. Thanks for the tip.

For the last few nights ive been taking this sleeping aid by dr berg. It seems to be working. Ive been sleeping 7 to 8 hours with only one wake up in between. If anyone is interested in trying it out . Its still early days to know if its placebo or not, but I'll update everyone once ive been taking it for a week or so and see if my sleep has improved for good or not.

I am glad you are getting some rest! I’ll look forward to hearing if it continues to help.

Just stopping by. Slept shallowly and been awake before 4am the last few nights, hoping I can get something like sleep tonight.

Thanks! It's about time! The last few months have been a killer for me, ive also changed my diet due to high cholesterol and having high triglycerides. My liver enzymes are also high which may suggest liver issues. I've cut out sugar and fats and fried foods. So these changes may also be helping me too

Am awake too early but grateful for 6 hours.

6 hours was my norm for years! I was always grateful for 6 hours lol

 

[AvidFan]

Funnily enough I got about 6 hours last night. Not enough to catch up, but I never grumble if I can get 6 hours!

 

[Windhover]

Yeah 6 hours is a strange amount; it seems alright in the morning but it's not enough to enable me to feel energised.

I hope everyone gets or is getting a good sleep.

 

[FlamingoWrangler]

Alright, let’s do this! 6 hours sleep for everyone. If only. But let’s give it a go.
—sweet dreams. 💤 😴 💤

Back to my 4 to 5 hours only. This time I was quick to fall asleep but quick to wake up and not be able to get back to sleep. Also have an 8 hour shift to work tonight.....

The curse continues. Can't sleep. No pills working
. Just hopeless. Even with a good diet. Absolutely nothing works

It feels so hopeless. I am struggling to keep my eyes open now. Sometimes I go from very poor sleep to hibernation. I try to keep moving during the day.

Id love just to disappear and hibernate too. The dr has now told me my high cholesterol and triglycerides is due to my lack of sleep for many years. Now its definitely affecting my health. No idea what to do. I'm having heart palpitations etc. I'm out of options. Out of desperation i bought a two week airfare to Brazil to see my fiancee. I need to get out of here. I'm under so much stress
