Can’t Sleep!

Kitsune

I finally fell asleep about 2am, then woke up at just gone 3am and can’t get back to sleep! Usually I can sleep through on Nytol, but not tonight! Need to be up at 6am with the children too, thinking of just staying awake now! Is anyone else having difficulty sleeping tonight?

  • I'm a very long term insomniac. 

    It's difficult to predict which nights I will sleep.

    I often wake up at around 4am and then it's read books, go on Internet, or just lie there and try and try and try to sleep.

    I've read all the advice on how to get a good night's sleep.  But it's all useless.  If I can't sleep.  I can't sleep.

    My opinion is that lack of sleep is caused by both mental and physical conditions.

    Several years ago I used to wake up instantly in the night and then I was unable to sleep.  Doctors eventually diagnosed an irregular heartbeat causing the instant awakening. 

    Worry and mental problems are now my problems.  I put off doing things.  And the worry comes back to haunt me.at night.  Yesterday I made phone calls I had been procrastinating about and I slept fairly well last night.  Over six hours sleep!

    Sleeping tablets are drugs to avoid. In a fit of depression I might take the whole bottle.
