I don t sleep at all pro#

There are a few facts that helped me calm it down: I’d go to bed at 9, then become alert at 10 and start panicking that I wouldn’t sleep again. When I had serious insomnia, that was it. The problem with insomnia is it’s usually initially caused by something (anxiety/depression) but after a while the insomnia is driven by a fear of not sleeping. If you’re actually having serious insomnia, and lying awake for hours, then it’s harder. Lots of other useful and common advice falls here, like showering before bed (I hate this, I have long hair and sleeping with damp hair is unpleasant). I feel like OPs kind of advice is good if you usually sleep well, but are having a bad night. Sorry for the long rambling but I thought this might be interesting to share Now that my meds have changed though (for unrelated reasons), i sleep like a baby and no longer have pre-bedtime anxiety. It got to a point where I had panic attacks and severe anxiety every night when it was time to go to bed, and i resorted to weed as it was the only thing remotely effective and doctors wouldn't prescribe me any strong sleeping pills. Come 5-6am, I was able to get up feeling slightly rested, but still tired and mentally low. It was always very confusing to me because I KNEW that I had been awake all night, but I had no memory of what I had been thinking for the past however many hours, despite being fully aware that I was laid there. It was as if my body was so exhausted that it gave up, but my mind wouldn't stop going. So I was ready to back up the idea until I read what you wrote.īefore I was put onto my current medication (pregabalin) I really REALLY struggled with insomnia, and used to regularly still be awake come the next morning, despite lying there quietly all night.

Keep in mind that an aphorism is not a LPT.Īn aphorism is a a short clever saying that is intended to express a general truth or a concise statement of a principle. “A marriage proposal should not come as a big surprise, despite what you may have seen in the movies.” “Always be prepared to leave your employer because they are prepared to leave you.” Advice is offering someone guidance or offering someone a recommendation. Keep in mind that giving someone advice is not the same as giving someone a LPT.
