Insomnia!

milarso

I can't fall asleep!!
I laid in bed from like midnight until 4, then I finally got up and went downstairs to watch TV.
It's like I'm exhausted, but can't keep my eyes closed to go to sleep.
What the hell is wrong with me!?

This is really funny that you posted this....I just got insomnia.

It's awful, huh? Weird thing is...is that I AM NEVER TIRED.

I am on a new medication and the side effect is insomnia...

i've been going through close to the same thing for a little while now. I'll be dead tired, lay in bed with my eyes closed and i can't fall asleep. it pisses me off. the more i get pissed off the more i can't fall asleep. AND when i do finally doze off i can only sleep for like 3-4 hours. As soon as i wake up i'm right back at it again. Can't fall back to sleep. I resorted to sleeping pills 2-3 times but even after taking them i could only sleep for like 6 hours tops. So i gave up on that.

I'm tired of being tired. And it so effects my mood in a negative way......really sucks.

Exercise and alcohol.. thats what helps me.

I would love to sleep for 3-4 hours. I sleep in 1-2 hour increments.

As for you guys, maybe get a book on "circadian rhythms." Also, learn as much as you can about getting your body to naturally produce serotonin and melatonin. I learned about these things by reading two books about alternatives to Prozac. Looking at too much light (computer monitor or TV) one hour before you go to bed can disrupt your sleep.

Whenever you can't sleep for more than 2 weeks, it's best to go to your primary doctor. It could be sleep apnea or a serious condition. I've probably been to 4 different doctors (since 1998) and I'm still not properly diagnosed as far as I am concerned.

I can never fall asleep Sunday nights then I go work all tired on Monday.
I find a beer helps.
I had a beer last night whilst watching Live at the garden and was KO'd.
