Insomnia - Page 3

Lately I have been getting a fair amount of sleep 7-9 hours which is great. Before I slept like 6-7 hours tops.

My problem is that sometimes when I go to bed I start thinking about a lot of stuff and end up just lying there for hours before I go to sleep.
But these days I'm so tired when I get back from work that I go to sleep immediately lol.

I don't get enough sleep, but that isn't due to insomnia. If I really wanted to fall asleep for nine or so hours, I could pull it off.

I don't like sleeping my days away, though. I'd rather be awake so I can get stuff done. Given my late bedtime, I usually sleep about six or seven hours. Enough to keep me from being a zombie the next day.

Currently it's 12:17am and I can't sleep. I have classes at 8:30am.

I want to sleep, dammit!

This doesn't usually happen to me. I fall into bed around 10pm and have a very good night's sleep.

Ehhhh usually I get 7-8 hours of sleep. Some nights I have a ridiculous amount of trouble trying to sleep though. But usually if I just close my eyes and lay there for a little while and try not to think too much I fall asleep.

If I don't have to wake up early tomorrow (haha, technically, that would be 6 hours after midnight), then I'd stay up all night long. I admit it might just be because I have lots of energy without being hyper--going to sleep doesn't feel right because I feel as if I must constantly be doing something because time asleep is time wasted. I'll usually mix it in with a bit of math, some gaming and some drawing all at once. Then I go to sleep when the sky is light again.

I still get 6 hours of sleep though--I can't make myself have less.

I read something interesting that Klein said of math students that can't go to sleep--"Can't sleep, eh? What's chloral for?"

By the way, I don't recommend using that substance; I heard it has side effects.

I usually have trouble getting to sleep at night but I eventually get to sleep around 3ish...If I get really desperate for sleep though I find the notes from a thermodyanmics lecture I had put me to sleep nice and quick. Invariably though, I am woken up at 6 by my little brother and my daughter deciding I make a better trampoline than the one in the backyard.

Here it is currently 10:50 am and I have yet to sleep. I got home at 7 am after the night out and I havent been able to sleep ever since. Same last night and the night before and so on and on and on... Well, you get the picture.
The good thing is that I don't really have any responsibilities or obligations apart from university classes to which noone really goes... so I can sleep till -like- 7 at noon. That is not normal, but it is the regretful reality.
So, I dont really have insomnia, I just sleep at weird hours, I guess..
Maybe I got vampirism or something o_O

Cheers.

My sleeping schedule is horrible. I went to bed at 2am yesterday though, which is a vast improvement. Prolly because I was wake for 40 hours by then.

My sleeping is pretty bad again, it's 2am and I know I should go to bed and I'm tired but I know I won't get to sleep and I can't be arsed with lying there getting pissed off at not being able to sleep, annoying thing is by the time I do fall asleep, when it comes to moning I end up sleeping late so it's just a vicious circle.....mind you at least it's not as bad as it was when I was going to bed at daft oclock and getting up early.....or not sleeping at all. I don't think I will ever have a normal sleeping pattern

I envy people that can be asleep as soon as they shut their eyes
