Been almost up for 32 hrs

6 hours is not too bad, it is better than 5 or 4.
It’s bad if you’ve been up for over 24 hrs and you still get 6 hrs of sleep only. I woke up thrice, once at idk what time, second time at 9 am and then finally at 1:30pm lol. 😆
 
Any particular reason why? I finally slept at the 36 hour mark lol.
Wtf
No, just insomniac.
Glad you slept though, is that a persistent issue, that you’re not able to sleep?

I guess I’m a fellow insomniac. And yeah I’ve been dealing with it for over ten years. I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. What about you?

Me as well, It’s been like this for atleast 8 years now.
Sleeping meds don’t really help me, but I think mediation or asmr type of videos are best for me, have you tried?

Dang. I hope you can fix it somehow. I’ve got sleeping medication now but I’m surprised to hear they don’t work on you. What meds specifically were you prescribed? I’ve never tried mediation or asmr though. I’ve not even tried the sleeping meds I was prescribed lol.

Why not try them?
I’ve been prescribed it all, benzos and non-benzos. I had really high doses too😭😭
I’d usually just be drowsy for an hour or 2 but still not fall asleep :peepoleave:

Because I wanna keep them as a last resort. Do you happen to know their names? My brother’s on Zopiclone but he’s also got Xanax. Zopiclone is a z-drug whereas Xanax is a benzo but it’s prescribed for anxiety. I myself have Temazepam. Most people have good things to say about it. I hate having to fall asleep. It’s the worst part of the day unless I have stayed awake the whole night before which would allow me to fall asleep rather quickly. Yesterday I fell asleep within 20 or even 15 minutes but that’s only because I had been awake for 36 hours.
 
My brain is too vulnerable for a hallucination/psychosis so I never try to stay awake for long.
I only start slightly hallucinating when I’m up for 48 hours.
 
Omg go to sleep, you crazy boy
I did! After 36 hrs of staying awake, this was me last night:

zolpidem, lorazepam, chlorprotixene were the main ones I tried.
Yeah I feel like the only time I get to fall asleep quickly like other people is if I stay up the night before 😭😭

I just can’t fall asleep. I definitely do try but it just doesn’t happen. I think it’s because I’m anxious about the amount of sleep I’m getting.

Lorazepam is Xanax, isn’t it? It’s for anxiety so I’m not sure why they prescribed it to you for sleeping. And yeah I’m in the same boat as you. I got another brother who can fall asleep within a minute of closing his eyes! Sometimes even just mere seconds. Can you believe it?

try reverse psychology and instead be super relaxed about the amount of sleep youre getting 🧠🧐

That can only work if I see I’ve got 7.5 hours before my alarm clock goes off. If it’s 6.25 hours or less then nope.

Yeah, I was on other different meds before too, but nothing worked so they tried giving me lorazepam, and chlorprotixen which also isn’t exactly a sleeping med.
I’m so jealous of those people who fall asleep instantly it’s literally unfathomable to me

I honestly think that people on multiple sleeping meds have a tolerance to many meds because they’ve been using a bunch of meds before. Personally I never use meds, not even taking paracetamol when I’ve got a killer headache. I believe the benzo I got will work well because I’ve got zero kind of tolerance due to my lack of med intake. And precisely, it’s unfathomable. I wish I could fall asleep within seconds.

Hmm maybe, I got started on sleeping meds at around 11 years of age so I doubt I had much tolerance for meds, I rarely ever take medicine.
I’m just a vampire fr 🧛🏻‍♀️
But I hope you can sleep well tonight and the meds help too

Shoot. You started sleeping meds at 11? They aren’t supposed to give benzos to kids from what I read. I hope the Temazepam is gonna knock me out. So far most people have a positive experience with it. But there’s some people who say it didn’t do much. It’s meant to make you fall asleep. And thanks!
 
stone cold
only time can tell tho
Idk I’m an overthinker though so I can’t shut off my brain like that

when I overthink things instead of sleeping I just imagine an alternative world like with movie or book characters and I fall asleep
I think all the effort overworks my brain or something

I’ve tried shutting off my brain but it doesn’t work, it’s like I feel some literal pressure on my brain from trying to shut it off and not think about the few hours of sleep I may or may not get.

so do the opposite and try to overwork your brain then it might be too many thoughts circulating you are mentally exhausted, but not about thing you actually care about bc that'll just keep your mind engaged 🤙
