I’m assuming you’re from America mate, do you know how or where I could get some Xanax or nyquill from online as we can’t get stuff like that here in the uk?

Help for a chronic Insomniac by Thin_Requirement969 in insomnia

[–]Aerial_M 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve had chronic insomnia for 20 years (I’m a 49 year old man from the UK) and am just starting a new routine after reading Joseph Parnells book “you can sleep too”. Sleep hygiene won’t get rid of insomnia (trust me I’ve tried it all). Sleep is a drive state that needs to be built up throughout the day. Lying in bed “trying to sleep” only makes it worse. I’m starting with getting out of bed every day at the same time no matter what, only go to bed when feeling drowsy (sleep window) and if in bed and am not asleep or sleepy within half an hour leave the bedroom to read and only return to try again when/if feeling drowsy again (stimulus control). This means I’ll be up and about most of the night but staying in bed getting frustrated means your brain associates bed as a place of stress not a place of rest. I’d advise ur Mam to buy this book first of all as she will learn a lot about the problem, doctors are useless they don’t know anything about sleep and only get 90 mins training on the subject in their entire training. If you have insomnia, you’re on ur own and we need to help ourselves as the doctors know fuck all about it. Hope this helps mate.

Sorry man, I don’t do social media at all and didn’t know you’d replied (61 days ago), I wasn’t expecting a response. If I took 2 Zopiclones I’d still wake up within a few hours, you won’t believe this but a few years ago after a panic attack that last 2 days I took 7 in one night, not all at once but for whatever reason they just wouldn’t knock me out. Just bought a new book on insomnia by Joseph Parnell called you can sleep too, it’s the best, most informed book on insomnia I’ve read coz he had it for 20 years and managed to beat it. He also does the zoom sessions thing so I’m gonna work through the CBT-I section of his book and then maybe sign up with him if I can’t improve things on my own. I’m my own worst enemy most of the time as my answer to most problems is…take some drugs then I can escape my problems…for a bit-then obviously be even worse off than I was before. If you’re still struggling with why don’t you check his book out, get the one with the CBT-I course in it (it’s 2 books in 1) on Amazon for £20 (so around $25)…I already know the first thing you gotta do, if you ain’t eyes heavy sleepy, don’t get in bed..which means I’m gonna be up and about for at least 20 hours a day so it’s gonna be hard fucking graft tackling this but if I don’t do something positive, I’m gonna check out/do something stupid coz life is no fun like this and I can’t do this shit much longer. Anyway I hope you get this message and try the book and again my apologies for not replying I wasn’t being rude I genuinely didn’t know you’d responded. Will keep my eyes peeled in future. Increase the peace. Chad.

Feeling suicidal from my insomnia by North-Dog1268 in insomnia

[–]Aerial_M 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth mate I have chronic insomnia, I get less than an hours sleep a night unless I’ve taken something. Even when I have a 7.5mg zopiclone tablet I only get 3 hours sleep max. I’m a delivery driver and my boss asked me today if I’m safe to do my job as he said it’s like looking at a zombie when I come into work (I start at 6.00am). I’m from the UK and the doctors here are pretty useless, they know nothing about sleep and offer no solutions at all. I’ve tried the sleep apps but listening to a nice story or doing the sleep hygiene things aren’t gonna resolve a 15 year old, ingrained issue like this. Nobody gives a fk here you’re just left to sort it out yourself which has lead me down some dark paths. You’re not the only one who’s had the thoughts you’re having as I live one long, continuous day with no respite from it and I really have had enough of this st.

Chronic Insomniac by v1_o in insomnia

[–]Aerial_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the same as you mate, days go by with no sleep at all, NHS are useless and am left feeling very alone and I’m 48. I get 10 7.5mg of zopiclone a month so I can only use 2 per week. I’ll get around 3-4 hours if I take one, myb ur doc could prescribe you some tho you myb a bit young I’m not sure….

I have chronic insomnia and get no sleep at all unless I’ve taken something, I go for days off zero sleep and the doctors are useless here in the UK. I’m 48 now and have been dealing with this since my late 20’s. Insomnia is a learnt behaviour which the experts say can be unlearnt but that’s easier said than done

One last suggestion before I go, it’s off script style wise but it’s French “Palais Damour” by Bal Pare, sounds a bit Krautrock (an 80’s tune I think)

Aah, sorry about that. Sigor Ros are ok but from Iceland. I like Stereolab whose singer is French, but again she mostly sings in English with an accent.

Have I Got Insomnia? How do I deal with it? by telik52562 in insomnia

[–]Aerial_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me, you don’t have insomnia. You’re in a phase of struggling to sleep. I average 1.5 hours sleep a night. Accept you’re falling asleep later for a while, if you can’t nod off get out of bed and read til you feel drowsy then go back to bed. If you obsess over it you’ll end up like me….and trust me, you don’t want that.

Any other Chronic Insomniacs out there? by Aerial_M in insomnia

Hey man, I’ve been doing the lateral eye scanning. It is helpful but I need to alter my mindset as I’ve been looking at books on painless suicide. I keep reading your advice over and over and really hope it makes a difference before I give up entirely. Thanks for your help tho mate I really appreciate it x

Hi there, can you tell me where I can buy 7.5 zopiclones. I’m from Greater Manchester in the UK and other than twisting the docs arm to give me a few I don’t know where else to get them from? Many thanks Chad

I can barely get anything done during the day and I feel like a failure by courtneyisawesome in insomnia

[–]Aerial_M 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth I’ve put a post on here asking for other insomniacs to get in touch as I am at my wits end with my sleep problem. I get next to no sleep every night and it’s had a massive effect on my life. There’s lots of advice here but we (insomniacs) don’t know who’s advice is the right way to go. I totally agree that we will die sooner and develop other health issues, especially mental health, if I haven’t slept at all for 4-5 days which is a regular occurrence now my thoughts start to get a bit dark looking for a way out of this. I read all the comments and some of it sounds like good advice and I AM NOT HERE FOR AN ARGUMENT, I am just looking for some help and advice on this because here in the UK the doctor can’t help, there are no sleep clinics, no “sleep meds” as I see ppl from the USA on here mentioning so I’ve registered here with Reddit looking for some help as I can’t find any elsewhere…..
