Insomnia

[Taizan]

Who here actually suffers from insomnia?

I'm asking this because it's now nearly 5 in the morning, and i don't really feel like sleeping.

Is this really not normal?

What it is though, is a right pain in the proverbial

Lately I haven't been able to sleep for 3 days straight, and then I crash for about 6 hours and then no sleep for 3 day, etc etc. It's normal I'm pretty sure.

I slept last night for 8 hours^^

I have made like 3 different sleep help threads on different occasions.

I tend to not fall asleep until around midnight-1 and occasionally wake up at 3. You just learn to get used to it. Maybe take something that's non habit forming or read. Heck I read the escapist at night on my cell phones internet to get to sleep sometimes

Yea, that's here two. If I'm not tired enough or too hooked on a game I will generally fuck up my sleeping.

I used to have a screwed up sleep rhythm. Turned out there was a cyst in my spinal cord. I sleep fine now.

I used to have insomnia but it ended after my corrective jaw surgery.

I have a friend with severe insomnia, he's had it his whole life. It is so bad that his medicated sleep-aid barely helps him sleep, yet can knock out anyone else for more than 2 days.

I have stabilized my sleep schedule at my house...


While at a friends I find it hard to even sleep, and if I do I am up wihten 4-5 hours.

Thanks for that! All my worries about this just drifted away... Seriously is that common?

It's 12:06am where I am. I don't have insomnia, but I do have a fairly messed up sleep pattern. I can sleep, but I don't feel like it. I usually go to sleep around 10-11pm, but thats only because if I Usually have to get up at 5am and if I keep staying up it will eventually catch up to me(and I usually get yelled at around 12pm), most likely on a day that I have to take an exam.

Anti-seizures and plenty of benadryl, that does the trick for me.

The cyst is known as a "syrinx" -- relatively common in back injury, less common in people with cancer or deformed brain stems. Lucky me, I had none of these, putting me in the "unknown origin" category, which is occupied by maybe 1,000 other people in the world.

So no, very rare. Unless someone hits you in the back with a sledgehammer.

Maybe the fact that i am at uni, and have the internet, may have something to do with my sleeping patterns. That, or i'm just too lazy to go to sleep.

How strange is that?

Bourbon whiskey will solve all your problems. ~_~

I seriously think I may have that,I can't fall asleep at all. My back does regularly hurt too. Thanks for that thought though...

Way more common is just going to be things like inflamed or bulging discs and the pinched nerves that result from them.

is this the first time it's happened?
if it is you don't have anything to worry about unless it continues there are some occasions where people just don't feel like sleeping

 

[Taizan]

Nah, this has been going on for a couple of months now. Surprisingly, it's only at uni that this happens. At home i can sleep for 12 hours at a time.

As for the sleeping in classes thing, i'm kind of like that. Any double lecture and i'm gone for an hour, at the least
