Any Help?
Posted: 11-22-04 16:55pm

Okay, so this is my a basic outlook on my sleep patterns for the past two days.

I go to sleep at about half eleven or later, as per usual. It always takes me a while to fall asleep; about half an hour to even an hour on occasions.
For the past two nights it has taken me what seems like an insanely long time to fall asleep. I just end up lying there thinking about anything possible, wether I want to or not.
I'm not actually sure if i've had any sleep for the past two night. I mean, sure I guess I have. But I can't figure out if I have actually slept or not o_o either I got no sleep, or I woke up well over ten times. Each time it takes me ages to get back to sleep (if I do), but the next thing I feel is that i'm awake. Again.

In the morning I don't actually feel physically tired, even though i'm awake about an hour earlier than usual. During the day I get more and more emotionally tired; snapping at people, having no impulse to work, feeling drained. When it comes to night time, i'm looking forwards to a good nights rest (but staying up late anyway). But instead I find myself being, or feeling, constantly awake.

I've done a bit of research and the most likely thing to come up is insomnia o_o does anyone have any good links or same experiences? I'm not quite sure how to approach my parents with it all. "hey mum *explains all* looks like I have insomnia!" :3

Hi. I've found exercise before bedtime a great way to reduce extra energy you might have held over from the day. I used to have insomnia pretty bad but I found changing my diet, taking an interest in hobbies and exercise helped alot.(also have 2 year old daughter that helps out)
