"Insomnia"

After being cooped up ill on my own for the last week or so (with no family to wait on me hand and foot), I've had a lot of trouble sleeping. In fact, for the last two nights on the trot, I've not slept a wink. Five minutes at the most, plus the odd half hour during the day is all I've had, due to the weird 'nasal drip' illness I have - sounds nice, no?

Anyway, my point is, I now truly understand how excruciating it must be to be a proper insomniac, not being able to sleep when that's all you want to do. I almost went mad last night just trying to keep my emotions in check - it's natural to try and fall asleep, but when your body doesn't let you, your brain starts freaking out. I've only been like this for two nights, imagine what it'd be like for a lifetime? Utter, utter torture. I can't wait until I can get back to sleep again (hardcore drugs are helping me here) but until I do, I'm starting to dread the end of the day when I have to try to go to sleep.

Anyway, just thought I'd share, it probably explains the lack of updates around here anyway :)

Anyone else here have trouble sleeping?

My gran eventually ended up dependant on sleeping pills, if she didnt take them she would have terrible hallucinations, dragons, spiders and stuff like that.

yeah, watch it though - eventually your body becomes used to them, and you'll find it even harder to sleep without them.

It's usually the case that I can't get to sleep, but once I'm asleep I find it incredibly difficult to wake myself up.

curses

Quite.

It's not that my body doesn't want to go to sleep, it does - I'm knackered. It's just it won't let itself drift off. Think I'll be better tonight, dropped a few pills earlier...

I loved the way in which saggy tried to mention it subtely earlier, yet failed miserably.

And I just simply said 'have a wánk '

Here here.

(and the intellegent discussion takes a turn for the worse)

T'is true HHAT.

T'is true, Usually I drop to sleep pretty quickly after having a good toss.

It does for men :-D

dont work :P

Have a wánk .

After a pretty terrible experience and time in my life afterwards I slowly drifted into this torture called insomnia.


One hour a night maybe at first. Terrible, You are so so so angry with yourself. You are so tired you get frustrated you are not asleep - then when you are frustrated you cannot sleep - but the viscious cycle continues as thinking comes into play, frustration, anger, sadness, the mind all stop you from doing the one thing you want. Sleep!


i am much better now - only recently though. The things I would do to kep myself occupied and from going mad. I produced alot of my poetry and ideas from this time I tell you!


Hope you get well soon Snuggly becuaue hopefully it is just your illness. The first night of my flu I could not sleep - cant get comfy, or breathe huh! But the last few evenings I went out like a light. Hope for the same man
