Sleep

[Paulsmith]

Does anyone gets those nights where you just cannot sleep. It's happening to me now can't sleep for love nor money and it's nearly 3 am uk time.

Really really annoying

[Paulsmith]

Mainly what we do when we're dead lol

 

[Caustic Cardinals]

[Paulsmith]

Too much blue light from interneting messes sleep up. Don't use a gadget after 9pm and it'll improve.

I wish I could sleep for the time required to fix my life and wake up once everything has been sorted.I never knew how little sleep you need to function until the last 2 years of my life.

I wish I could sleep good lately sleeping has been hard since I'm sleeping in back of a car and I'm tall so my legs can't extend all the way and it's really hard to sleep good.

I take a mix of prescription and over-the-counter drugs to get some sleep.

 

[stellabelle]

Every. Single. Night.
I take a ton of OTC sleep tabs, sometimes mixed with alcohol to escape for 13 hours.

I have trouble sleeping every single night, I don't take anything for it, I just try to breathe and ease my distress with relaxing videos or podcasts to distract myself to sleep

I get so irked when the mental health team ask me what my "bedtime routine" is. Because having a cup of bovril or weak milky hot chocolate is really going to sweep away a lifetime of nightmares and send me off to the blissful land of nod. Where I'll dream of moonbeams. Instead of being beaten and terrified.

Yes. Hmmm.

I'd much rather read amusing anecdotes on here about Phil N's experiments with piglets and toilet duck than attempt to sleep. But I shall not be explaining that to the psych doc.

(Am sad the thread was shut by Phil's orders, I felt it still had mileage)

I hope @Xerxes @Johnnythefox @Chinaski have not been spirited away in the night to a secret laboratory to be experimented on :-/

Agreed, lately my dreams are no longer an escape they have become just like my reality. Even dreamt I was preparing to kill myself

 

[AndyCurious]

It's grim isn't it :-/ when you can't even get a break while you're sleeping

You can go off people @AndyCurious...
I googled "bedtime routine"
Pages and pages of toddler charts, bathtime songs and 'sleep hygiene'
;-)

Sometimes I stay up till 6am planning my own death

Same here. Totally random with bouts of exhaustion inbetween.

Did you guys try blue light filters for your devices? It helps a lot. I tend to disable them because of the distorted colors but it really makes a difference. I should leave them on..

This sounds like a good idea. Any particular brand that you use?

And speaking of sleep... every time i goto bed all i think about is that i pray that i don't wake up

Every fucking night. Cause of my physical pain - nothing helps ... I just sleep 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 h a night ... #fml

That thought has calmed me lately in a way.
We all like sleeping - and if there is no magical afterlife then it will be just like sleep. So no reason to be afraid.
