The Insomnia Thread

[shinobi2000]

these past 4 days -- first a 24 hour shift, no sleep, next day 1 hour of sleep interrupted by janitor needing to get into the apartment, night flight to LA for friend's wedding, 2 days in LA with little sleep because of partying, then on second night red eye flight back to NYC, arrived 6am, headed straight to work for another 24 hour shift...at some point you cease to be tired and you're just dizzy

[philosophiliac]

i know how that feels - had to cut back to 2 jobs cos i couldn't keep it up

[boy better know]

my sleep pattern is fucked

i constantly go to bed passed midnight on weekdays even though i have to wake up at 3am for daily 11 hour workshifts

and then the weekend comes and i'll be out with my friends and go to bed at 7am, get up at 11am and then repeat

young & restless concept

[shinobi2000]

[OkayOkay]

ambien 5mg (then triple up) ftw.

THIS TITLE ISN'T EVEN IN ALL CAPS

[tac0tron]

My younger brother keeps telling me to go to bed.

Nope.

[Pandemonium]

a xanax would go well right now. damn.

[shinobi2000]

Fuuuuuck!! Another Sunday night, another Sonata pill... Tried to get to bed by 1 tonight and thought I could do it considering I was biking all day today. What is wrong with me??! I gotta be up in 4 hours too!

[OkayOkay]

Dudes...Soma saved my life.

Get your hands on it at any cost.

[julzkind]

up up and away.

[shinobi2000]

3am.........tick tock tick tock....Sonata's got me seeing things but hasn't hit me like a brick yet like it normally does. Read a little about your Soma but I'm not so sure I want to use the side effect of a muscle relaxant. Tomorrow is going to be shiiiiiiit,

PAWS baby

and feel unusually creative

[julzkind]

[andrewsd]

[julzkind]

up, so I'm doing laundry before i drive out to cleveland for a couple days. and as soon as its done i can pack. =/ great.

[mr.invincible]

i don't know how long it's been, but i can only sleep for 6 hours. like almost 6 hours exact and my body just wakes up. not only that, but i can only breath through one nostril when sleeping and don't know if that's the reason why im tired most of the day and can't memorize for shit (lack of oxygen and sleep?).

and my neck hurts all the time. tried sleeping on a memory foam ( a generic neck one), a down one, and some synthectic one or w.e but it just doesn't do it for me.

shit i need help.

i thought this thread was about propper bdus

[boy better know]

didn't sleep a minute tonight and i'm about to leave for work for a 11 hour shift

[phen3N]

i'm trying this thing based on REM cycles where i sleep in 3, 6, or 9 hour blocks. (7:30am ideal wake up = 10:30, 1:30, or 4:30 bed time. if i miss the 4:30 mark i skip sleep that night and aim for a 9 or 12 hour block the next.) it's been a bit over a week since i started it and my internal alarm clock is usually able to wake me up within a 5-10 min margin of error.

 

not sure yet if it's making me feel better during the day, but i wake up much less groggy/grumpy and i'm able to maintain my insomniac ways...

[wrong_move]

checking in... i've been waking up at least 3 times a night for the past month and a half (usually 4:30. 5:30 and then 6:30). tried melatonin, worked for about three days. it's affecting my gains.

 

life is suffering

[AstroWolf]

Up at 5:28am, work in two hours... Can't sleep, thank god for the NFL.

 

Sober for a few days and my mind is bent.

[phen3N]

been experiencing the realest insomnia this past week. i'm regularly sleeping from 7am–2pm and it's affecting my health and work life... do any of you guys use sleep aids? i've tried melatonin, valerian root, herbal teas... none really helped much. i tried an OTC pill that has doxylamine, but it kinda worked too well—I slept for about 15 hrs and was still groggy afterwards
