Can't Sleep At All Now! What's Wrong? Posted: 10-03-05 02:35am
Hi, everyone, i'm a new member and
desperate to talk to people with similar
problems.
Every time I feel myself drifting off to
sleep it is as though someone shakes me
and says "hey, wake up, you're not allowed
to sleep!", and I am immediately wide
awake again. I can easily lie awake all
night even though i'm very tired. When
I do go to sleep it's only for short
periods at a time and I dream vividly.
Surely, when your body is crying out for
sleep, you should be able to sleep
eventually. I'm afraid i'll lose the
ability to sleep, altogether. The less
sleep I get, the less tired I become. I
don't yawn anymore and my head just feels
thick, and my eyes dry and sore.
What on earth is wrong with me?

Lack of Sleep Is a Cycle Posted: 11-03-05 04:32am
I hear you.
See I think the thing is, once you have
suffered long term sleeping problems it
fools your body into thinking you can
survive on a lot less sleep. My advice
is try to do something now, rather than
later. Because I can tell you the
body-clock-sleep-cycle thing becomes very
susceptible to being deceived by long-term
insomnia.
It is frustrating when somebody tells you
a old home myth such as drink warm milk
before bedtime or drop some lavender on
your pillow.. Sure those things might
'relax' you but I find that's usually
about it.
