Insomnia

September 16, 2016 4:19pm CST
I'm having a very bad insomnia lately. Practically, I'am a nocturnal now. I sleep at least at 5 AM. But today is the worst I finally fell asleep at 9 AM. " With insomnia, nothing's real. Everything's far away. Everything's a copy of a copy of a copy. " - the Narrator, Fight Club Let me know your experience about having insomnia and how you dealt with it ?

I have a lot of sleep problems. I make sure to never nap. I only have coffee at breakfast. No matter how little I sleep I get up around 7 am.

@april_ang I wish my biological clock was settled. I Force myself to geg up at 6 or 7 in the hope I will set my internal clock to sleep at night and be awake in tbe day.

I think your biological clock is already settled, just like my mom. Even if I sleep earlier than her, she always managed to woke up earlier than me. that's amazing, actually. napping..? I only do that as necessary as possible, when my body needs it.

I have insomnia in trying to sleep at night. Most of the time I sleep better since my doctor put me on medication to sleep. I don't know if this has anything to do with getting older. If I don't take the medicine to help me sleep I will be up for almost 24 hours and that's too much for me. How about you checking with your doctor to help you with not being able to sleep? I had to in order to get some sleep.

I'm hoping that my insomnia is only temporary for I've things to do at night for the time being and my body seems like play along fine. So, I don't think I wanna put myself on pills, I'll just push my body to the limit and pampered myself with hot beverage so I can crash sooner. Thanks for the wonderful advice, Betty... best of luck for you..

Sometimes I can't sleep at night either, it makes for very bad days after.

I have insonmia.There are times that I don't get to sleep at all. I try to nap in the afternoon together with my baby. Taking sleeping pills is a no no because my baby wakes up in the middle of the night to feed.

Oh I am sorry to hear. I take a Tylenol PM - over here it's an over the counter pain medicine + sleep aid. Great quote, by the way.
