GOD DAMNIT FUCK INSOMNIA

[elibomyekip]

I took 4 fucking sleeping pills about 2 hours ago.
I'm still up.
Insomnia sucks.

I find taking too much of something to help me sleep (be it antihistamines, sedatives, opiates, alcohol and particularly weed) usually has an inverse effect and causes me to be awake but even more groggy

Tried one of those Nytol tablets, had a shit night's sleep but still i was able to wake and get up at 8am this morning! FUCK YEEAHHH!!

If it really is getting that bad.
For weeks/months on end, go see a doctor.
There could be an underlying problem as to why you have Insomnia.

I've seen doctors, behavioural therapists and counsellors ever since I was 13. The prognosis was fibromyalgia b2b irritable bowel syndrome

God that sucks

I know how you feel with the insomnia thing though.
I get bouts of insomnia that last for weeks at a time, most of the time it's Terminal Insomnia - Waking up early.
Like literally I'll go to bed at 11/12 and be awake at 2.
I also get night terrors and sleep paralysis quite alot.
My body just seems to hate me having a good night sleep.
I'm forever tired, all my mates know what I'm gunna say when they ask how I am.


Know its frustrating but you just have to let it do its thing.
I'm sure it'll sort itself out soon.

It better fucking do. The best time I ever had with it was a couple of years ago when I was self medicating. It was a path of self destruction and addictions, but atleast I got to sleep daily. These days, I eat healthier, cross train and lift weights 6 times a week, try and avoid using the PC/xbawks for more than 2 hours a day, keep a low level of mental stimulation a couple of hours before bed (lying in a darkish room, reading a piss easy to read book and whatnot), and barely take any drugs, (cut stimulants out entirely except for a maybe once every 2-3 month session at some event) but absolutely nothing has EVER impacted the insomnia minus straight up medication, which works wonders, but I just avoid as I don't want to accidentally build up addictions like before. It just randomly appears and never quite goes, just varying levels of intensity through the year. Winter is definitely fucking worse for it though. Seasonal depression ftw!

It might sound stupid but have you ever tried cannabis, see if that helps?

Cannabis never sounds stupid.

Weed doesn't help. It has a similar effect to opiates though in that it just relaxes me and takes away the frustration of not having slept for 40 hours, which is nice, but overall weed can make it worse in some cases. I get INCREDIBLY twitchy off it, really bad. Think my body just hates dopamine.
