Insomnia
I’m finally feeling a bit alive again. I tend to suffer from insomnia. I have times where I don’t sleep for weeks and somehow it doesn’t effect me that much. Other times I feel broken after only a couple of nights of non-sleep. This weekend was one of those hard ones.
Saturday night I went to bed early because I felt knackered, but I could not get any sleep and I ended up reading a book from start to finish. The next night it was the same thing; again no sleep no matter how tired I was. Monday I felt like a train-wreck. I had no energy at all. I didn’t feel like exercising, I didn’t feel like watching TV, I didn’t feel like getting on the internet and search for Outer Banks rentals, I didn’t feel like anything at all. All I wanted to do was sleep.
Monday night I could not sleep. After hours of restless tossing and turning I decided to take a sleeping pill. Sometimes that works, sometimes it makes me more tired but it doesn’t put me to sleep. This time I fell asleep and slept for about 20 hours straight. Even when I woke up I didn’t want to get out of bed and do anything. I wanted to sleep a bit more.
Today I finally feel a bit better again. Hopefully tonight I can get another good night sleep in, because tomorrow I have an important day ahead me.

Not being able to have a good night sleep can really break you up. I really feel for people who have insomnia. It would drive me up the wall. Good to hear that at least you are a bit more rested now.

I am glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better now. Do hope that you can get some good sleep. I do have friends who have challenges sleeping at night and I always feel bad for them; not being able to sleep must be torturous for them. I had a few sleepless night and fortunately most time I have no challenges to fall asleep when I hit the bed.

I know how that goes, I suffer insomnia too and when it gets bad I become very miserable and it can take time to get back to sleeping again and being rested. Hope you find that rest.

Hmmm, it’d be depression. Sounds like it to me.

Oh, I feel your pain. I have suffered from insomnia off and on for the last 12 or so years. At least once or twice a week I can’t fall asleep…I take over the counter sleep aids more often than not….the most recent was Tuesday for me…I didn’t go to sleep til 3:30 am…it’s horrible….and then you are supposed to be able to function during the day.
