2 days i been there countless times is getting hard a beyond that point
advice keep going we don’t have any other options think i still alive this shit has not kill me yet i am starting to get angry at my
insomnia i am like ok keep me awake one more day do it advice from my doctor face your fear in the end you are not afraid of it any moreyes and no i take zyprexa but only when i really need it
i take it when in really need some sleep but i will ,not take it all the time i don’t want to become addicted to it
the most powerful drug is your own mind positive thinking relax a little more reason and logic in life trust me when i think it about it it all makes sense but it’s incredibly hard to do but practice makes perfectwhat you have i have for a year and a half .for me not sleeping makes me anxious
your fight and flight respons can be so strong and so mestup it can overpower your sleepdrive
my is so bad i can be awake for days. you are right is the adrenaline that keeps you awake.
its natures cruel joke it plays on us.@daf i hate it when people don’t believe us i like to invite them to life a week with me our days never seems to end as night turns into day and back again the only thing we ask is for a basic human function some sleep so we can reset
i am writing this at 3h 30 at night yep another sleepless one my second this week

@martin there is a world of difference between little sleep and no sleep at all but you have a point ok we feel sick from exhaustion and we complain a lot ,at least we are safewhat about soldiers and civilians living in a war zone thinking every second i can get killed and the horror the see and encounter ,our the homeless that life on our street
for those people is not like will i sleep tonight but will i be alive tomorrowsymptoms are the same chest pain ,nausea ,feeling groggy and depressed i even got fever a couple of times from exhaustion.and my heart beats faster from lack of sleep and my blood pressure is high.
i have no problem any more if it’s just one day without sleep i am used to it by now.
it starts to affect me when sleepless nights are coming in a row.
it’s just physically and mentally hard it takes over your whole life.
there are times i think this is going to kill me one day
but i told this in this forum before one good night of sleep makes us insomniacs feel we won the lottery
one good night and we become more human again
i am glad for you ,you beat this beast cos insomnia is no joke at alli can go days in a row without sleep my longest episode was 4 in a row
mostly i go 2 to days awake sometimes even 3
then at breaking point a take me sleeping drug and that gives me a good 5 hours
when i not take my sleeping drugs the max i can sleep is about 3 hours interrupted
so in a week 2 to 3 days without any sleep at all
that’s my normal i have weeks when it’s even worse
for me every night i do sleep is a gift is better than nothing even its only 2 to 3 hours8 hours i only slept that when i was a child
what i want give for a couple of hours every night
but instead we get the total sleepless ones
i think the say 8 hours because insomnia is also a money grabbing machine
if you give people the illusion the have insomnia the spent a lot of moneyi can relate with you the also give me antipsychotic drug ( zyprexa).
because it’s the only thing that give me a couple of hours of sleep.
when i first take these drugs i was out for hours and felt like a vegetables all day.
but like all drugs your body get used to it.
my insomnia have become so bad i go days in a row without sleep and when i almost crackdown i take the drug.
the drugs are and lack of sleep are responsible for your drowsiness and lack of concentration.
i have the same symptoms you describe. i walk around like i have the flu at its worst.
and if that is not all i have chest pain from it,high blood pressure and when i am close to me breaking point i get fever from exhaustion.
i understand your desperation there are time the only thing i want to do is cry.and when you are able to sleep a couple of hours is like a won the lottery. you become more human again.
just don’t give up i know what a hell insomnia can be.i had to give up a job i loved to do , lost social life and my mental health.
if it can be any comfort to you , you are not alone.
if you are willing to talk i am more than happy towell you come to a good place where people will listen to you and understand what you going true
@tmd11 wow 13 years off this i have mine a year and a half.
not that i was a good sleeper before but i was getting 5 hours every night.
and now i have to see doctors cos i am in the same boat like you and the also put me on the antipsychotic. reading your story hit home hard.
I could have written your story.david if you want to talk i am here. trust me i know what a hell insomnia is. and you are not alone.
i will be more than happy to speak to you. not on cell phone cos i am not from america and that will cost me an arm and a leg.i also go days without sleep in a row.i put almost the same post here a couple of weeks ago to find a equal. i can not speak almost with people that say the have insomnia if the sleep 5 hours a night.i also feel i am in a different class of insomnia.so maybe you can gif your facebook or what your purpose
yes and no a normal sleeper is probably not affected by it at the least he is a little drossy but us insomniacs we are sleep deprived there is nothing left in our tank trust me i know the feeling after yet another sleepless night one is ok but if they come in a row that’s hard i understand you are angry and frustrated we have a million questions and not one helps us sleep better
nope is that was the case i had to die so many times i at least got once or twice episodes a month where i dont sleep for 2 or 3 days in a row i average on 2 to 3 hours a night for more than a year now the times i sleep 5 hours a night in a month i can count on one hand that is extremely good for me
