Why am I not sleeping?

Song

I'm feeling a little odd, not sure what to do, I haven't slept for the last 3 nights (I have a monitor so it's not my imagination) i have just been laying in bed looking at the darkness or reading. I feel a bit floaty and like I'm not real. 

I don't know what else to say. I think i might be ill or something. My throat hurts a little.

  • Are your thoughts fixated on some particular event or point of worry in your life? This can cause difficulty with sleeping. Have you tried taking a melatonin supplement? It might be worth trying that just to get into the habit of sleeping at night again. I have suffered from very severe insomnia so I understand how it can be unsettling. Do you feel tired but can't sleep, or do you only go to bed at night because you think you should?

    I go to bed at night because I think I should, I never sleep very well, normally for around an hour and a half at a time in 3 instalments through the night.

    I sleep in the same room as my husband we have twin beds right next to each other so my bed doesn't move if he turns over etc. 

    I have used my melatonin spray but it hasn't helped the last 3 nights.
