"Insomnia"

Well, this is quite clearly wrong. This morning/last night I didn’t sleep at all, despite lying in bed for four whole hours trying to do so. Previously, I considered myself not to be a clear cut insomniac, as I could easily get to sleep when I felt tired – it was just a question of whether I wanted to, or as I now do, carry on reading/listening to music or study.

But last night was a first. I tried to sleep, by not thinking of anything, but that didn’t work. Then I went for the “concentrate on one boring thing” approach, but that didn’t work either. What I did do was think up some interesting stuff, such as coming up with new ideas for a little sketch that I intend to write, or whether I should get an Xbox or not. This I did for four hours.

There are quite a few other insomniacs in the forum, and wanted to know if they used any “techniques” that helped them to sleep, or failing that, what was suggested to them by others.
Oh, and should I see a doc for this?

Yeah, but it is a huge waste of time. I'm not getting any rest, but I'm too tired to do anything worthwhile.

TV was crap yesterday morning, just today's news and some crappy film set in 1942 on 4.

I think Im contracting insomnia......fast! Really dont feel tired and when I do its lethal. Nothing worse than not being able to sleep when your tired. One factor maybe the sudden burst of coffee I've been drinking. And we all know who to blam for that.

From my knowledge most of the people on these forums are insomniacs.

The last week of the Christmas/New Year Holidays I slept 2 out of 7 days on that week.

*cringes*

Eat fruit and get more excercise. Don't drink coke, coffee or tea.

Althought if like me you just plain cannot sleep then maybe we should begin a club.

Do you think the forums attract insomniacs or create them?
