Who else /insomniac/ here?
I CAN'T FUCKING FALL ASLEEP.
I drank some fucking tea specifically designed to help me fall asleep, got into bed with my cat, I used no electronics prior to my sleep (until now), and I still can't get some damn rest.
I just can't get into that trance-like state of a dream. I keep on thinking about my life. I'm wasting energy on thinking instead of falling asleep.
I can feel signs of my body desperately trying to get me to fall asleep and I still can't fucking do it. I'm yawning, stretching, and everything and I still can't fucking do it.
Sorry for ranting. I'm just so fucking infuriated and I can't stop thinking.

GAHH I FUCKING HATE THIS SHIT
JUST FALL ASLEEP DAMNIT FALL ASLEEP
don't think about sleeping, think about nothing at all and keep your mind basically clear; then, your mind may be tricked, resulting in sleep.
Put on a Jordan Peterson lecture and lay down, you'll sleep like a baby

Right. Right.
Thanks, Anon. I think part of the problem is that my damn cat is like a massive boulder in my tiny ass bed and I can't really get comfortable without having to awkwardly position myself around her. I think I'm in a better position now. Hopefully.
Kinda late for that, though. It's 4:00 here. Fuck me.
Thanks for the help, Anon.
Anyone else having trouble here? I figured there'd be more on this board.

Force yourself to read Hegel until you fall asleep

The worst part is right before you start to feel tired you get all itchy and it wakes you up again.
been having trouble sleeping too, constantly wake up with dry mouth.
Drink alcohol. You don't even have to get drunk. Drink enough it will make you naturally tired. I recommend liqueur.

I think I might consider that. This is getting out of hand.
I've tried shit like tea, milk, those apps that change your phone/computer color scheme to a warmer color and it's still such a struggle for me.

Might take two swigs or so of liquor if things keep going on like this.
Try Melatonin. Makes you sleepy after around 15 minutes. I used to have trouble sleeping, and this helps.
its the worst thing
its ruining my life
i used to have problems falling asleep too but now i can fall asleep okay but i wake up after only 5 or 6 hours of sleep every morning and can't get back to sleep after that
i'm shaking with anxiety through the day because of being sleep deprived

Trust me, just drink that shit in moderation and you'll fall asleep/pass out.
>>37701427
That's the worst. Fucking hate it.

For me it's been dry sinuses. I'm too lazy to refill my humidifier like a dumbass.
>>37701448
when i've been drinking it makes my insomnia much worse
>>37701519
Fuuuck. I have ADD (maybe slightly H). That's probably contributing to my problems. Thanks for pointing that out. Looks like I need to be better medicated.
>>37701510
The problem for me isn't being tired persay, it's more of my mind thinking about shit I have/want to do. It's the worst.
>>37701236
Since I got arthrosis diagnosed with 22 and my father's kidneys stopped working I also can't sleep anymore. Always when I am in bed and almost sleep my father's coughing makes me fully awake again. I am worried all the time.
>>37701563
But how? I understand not wanting to fall asleep due to the "spins" but drinking just the right amount is useful as it is a natural depressant.
>>37701768
That sucks ass, Anon. Must be stressful.
Insomnia is the worst. I feel like shit. It's pretty much morning at this point, too. 4:40.
>>37701809
Yeah, insomnia is fucking shit, all night I am worrying and crying and when the day comes I am useless at work.
