fuck insomnia
 

so tired. i just want to sleep. Can't stop tensing up, jolts in the head/body, dizzy, holding my breath, my mind is doing thousand things, talking non stop.

In two hours i have to get up.. Bleh.

:(

Incidentally, we have one thing in common, for once.

:(

It has not been this bad in a long time. Lately it is always due to pain, but tonight fuck knows. Over tired and anxious and etc etc.

Do you keep the lights on for a long period of time before you go to sleep? I find artificial lights to be a bitch when it comes to insomnia. That and heat.

I'm old. I go to bed early and wake up even earlier (about the time the cat says "wake up").

I would like less sleep, but there's not much else to do.

grilgun never sleeps.

Pfft! Tell me about it. I seem to be on a two hour bathroom schedule. And puppy dog is very insistent that it is time to wander the neighborhood.

I don't know what I'm going to do when (if?) I ever get a job and can't nap through the day.

My insomnia has gotten better.

I've had insomnia a few times. It's maddening. Your brain will NOT shut down.
But now I like to sleep. If I were an animal I'd hibernate.

Take some Valerian?

i usually do. Last night it didn't help. I think i might have dozed off for half am hour..

Anxiety, brothers tryin me.
Gun slingers, dead ringers.

Well, i have enough lights on so i can see, and i go to bed after it is dark. But i try and wind down, not watch tv just read or something like that..

Do you really have insomnia or you just have trouble sleeping?

Strangely there is a difference.

you could check private messages

in the past insomnia, at the moment trouble sleeping :)

Just hoping that it doesn't get worse and stay this way. My body is already exhausted enough.

Reading helps me enormously to sleep.

I find it curious, but I have to concur with the twat above.

This thread is full of unexpected consensus.

which one of them? i spot a few.

anyway, i love a good night of sleeplessness-- the fun!

i've never seen insomnia as a curse-- on the contrary, night is the best time of day.

i only wish i lived in a 24-hour city where i could go to a restaurant at 4am and read a fresh newspaper (fresh newspaper! the memories!) while wired on my own scrambled brains.

i used to live around the corner from this french place in DC, au pied the cochon, where you could get fresh oysters at 6am, or maybe it was 11am and it seemed like dawn to me, but still, the pleasure, the pleasure...

reading can keep me awake if i'm not already sleepy. I need to set a page limit or i'll read the whole thing..

I can't fall asleep partly because of the noise and vibrations coming from the restaurants Spice Cove and Souen underneath me. It gets me so aggravated then it takes an hour or two to unwind after midnight when they finally shut them down. By Friday, when I can sleep in on Sat, I'm a wreck. Well, if you hear about me going nutty some night, you'll uinderstand, I tried to work within the system. But as expected, the Bloomberg system is shit.
