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 feel your pain ive had really bad insomnia for the past couple of years. A blunt followed by a cup of tea helps sometimes.

I have it, but I sleep strait away if I hang out with friends (or just people in general) until pretty late and then go and crash on my bed. DO NOT GO ON YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE YOU GET INTO BED THOUGH. I find this makes me completely not tired again, no idea why. Actually just avoid computer any time before bed unless you are really tired. I find it just makes me totally unsleepy, compared to, say, watching tv.

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

This is really pissing me off in my case now! I have a completely non-existant sleeping pattern and every attempt i make at fixing it seems to backfire and i end up with one worse than before . I tried for the past two days to stay awake until the night after, yesterday i fell asleep at 10am then this morning i fell asleep at 5am which means i'm back where i began . I've been trying to sort it out before new years haha. Not completely devoid of sleep but still, it's getting ridiculous lol.

Internet + music dubculture = never seeing daylight.

I just stay up all night about once a week. I still go to bed at 6am, but it seems like it gives me a bit of time to make up for lost daylight.

I usually go to sleep at 6am and I wake up at any time between 8am and 7pm.

Assuming I get to sleep, I'm on pretty much the same pattern. For about 13 months (essentially since getting with my missus) I was fine. Shit at getting to sleep, but I slept every night, then about a month ago out of nowhere insomnia just reared its fucking head and gradually I sleep less and less per week, I'm down to about 3-4 sessions of sleep per week now, 2-3 fucked ones then 1 reeaaaalllyyyy long one when I eventually crash from exhaustion and wake up 18-22 hours later. Brb suicide

I've been ok falling asleep lately. It's staying asleep and going back to sleep that's the problem.

Yeah, 'middle of the night' insomnia is a total tnuc. You're like "fuck, I'm actually getting to sleep, this is awesome". 2 hours later, POW, you're awake, can't get back to sleep and ready to punch a kitten.

*nods*

Possibly even more annoying is actually managing to fall asleep again after lying awake for 3 hours, then waking up an hour later only to realise that you'd somehow managed to go back to sleep and now have bloody woken up again.

I also used to be unable to go back to sleep until AFTER my alarm clock had gone off. Then right on cue I'd drift off.

GET A JOB HIPPIES !

I'm so glad I don't get insomnia. If anything, I sleep too easily and I'm a really heavy sleeper too.

I'd give anything to sleep like a normal person. It's like being on a comedown 7 days a week, srsly. Even when you do get sleep, you don't feel refreshed for very long, if at all.

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!

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