    Default Insomnia

    I was just wondering if anyone else suffers from insomnia?
    It started to bother me again, haven't slept properly for a week. And if you do suffer from it, do you take sleeping pills?

    I was an insomniac for 18 yrs. Turns out it was stress related. Since I moved out of that house I've done nothing but sleep. Try removing yourself from a stressful situation, that might help.

    when i was in university i was getting about 3 hours sleep a night which was horrible and i couldent hack it so i left......sleeping pills might work but i agree with keiko if your under alot of stress find ways to stop being under lots of stress.....although getting drunk is much more fun

    Uh, sorry I missed that topic even I tried to search similar topics
    Well I quess it might be because I haven't slept alone for a nearly a year but now had to move away from girlfriends apartment, or ex-girlfriend now.. Thought I have never knew how to sleep in right place and right time.
    But anyway I got few good tips from the other topic, could go and try them soon

    I have dasy where I drewa and paint for ever because I am afraid I will lose my idea. Also I have been through a couple of painful losses recentley and I find when I close my eye's my mind runs...not wanders to those points and ifind myself getting up and pissed off and not wanting to sleep. I work out and go wor walks...it's a lil better but my sleep patter is very unhealthy to say the least. My ex had insomni aand took medication, but she never had REM sleep so she was always drained. I hope you find good rest soon I personally know what it can be like not just having it buitwacthing other suffer...I hope you the best

    Got nearly three hours of sleep and it took only three hours of waiting and turning in bed. Thought I feel now even more tired that before. Well I could drink myself to sleep today, feel kind of angsty and stuff

    Well I have same problems, like when I go to bed and try to get sleep I can't stop thinking things. All the things that should have been done already come to mind and then I get all these crazy ideas of pictures and stuff. I have tried that relax thing but I can't keep my thoughts in it, eventually I notice I am thinking something again.

    But thanks for understanding guys, you really are great bunch of people

    I'm a stress insomniac too. And whenever I force myself to stop working and go to bed instead, I can't sleep, so I get up again and continue work. :\

    As folk on here have suggested, to get at the insomnia you've got to hit the cause. If it's stress, develop a way of dealing with that, and the rest should fall into place. Ironically, insomnia itself is stressful, so the stress of knowing you can't sleep can keep you awake. The best way to beat that vicious circle is to have something to hand to do if you can't sleep and regard the extra hours as an opportunity to do something you enjoy. That's not always possible if you have a 9-5 job to go to (I'm self-employed) but it can break the cycle.

    Insomnia can be a nightmare - I think that quote from 'Fight Club' about never truly being awake hits the nail on the head.

    I tried herbal remedies but either they didn't have any effect, or they gave me 'second wakings' (where your mind wakes up before your body, giving an unnerving paralysis effect). The trouble with using booze to sleep, is the quality of sleep's not so good, and soon you can't sleep without it. A hot bath can be a good way of winding down. There again, I recommend a hot bath for pretty much anything from a hangover to ebola.

    Well I am pritty sure that the biggest reason has been my problems with relationship. But now I got that thing finnished and I believe that might help.
    When I was 17 I had this insomnia kind of thing for a year. I were tired all the time thought I slept pritty good. It's kind of hard when you can't keep awake in school even you wanted.
    But thanks again from comments and help.

    I read something about how alot of apes and primates sleep for a large protion of the day and are awake for a large part of the night. I think it could be possible considering our evolutionary lineage that we are not meant to be awake all day and asleep all night. I know im a night person. I sleep in the day so peacefully. I only get insomnia at night.
