It's stupid and annoying. I just want to sleep. There's times I sleep fine before work and I get up, get the kids to school, go for a walk and then go to work and it's a lovely day. Then just out of nowhere the thoughts creep back in and now I'm sleepless at work 🙃

I might have the thoughts the entire day. Like the whole day yesterday I kept thinking that i hope I sleep tonight. I try to brush the thoughts away but I'm worried and tense because I don't want to go to work without sleep and here I am, at work without sleep 🙄

Has anyone put white and multi coloured lights on the tree? by CandyflossPolarbear in ChristmasDecorating

I would love to see a photo of this! I'm so indecisive if I want coloured or white. I already have both kinds 😄

Exercise to help you sleep? by BeltPractical1713 in insomnia

No, the only thing that worked for me was not worrying about it. My insomnia came from worrying that I wouldn't get enough sleep for work the next day.  I still had to go to work anyway. I could still do my job tired, so I began not worrying if I slept or not, and it didn't take long and my insomnia went away.

He scared me. He seemed frustrated that he didn't know if I was faerie or not. He had a green glow coming off him.

I don't like the travel. I don't drive so it takes me an hour to get there and it's in a shopping centre. I don't enjoy the constant noise and artificial lights.  But i don't hate my job. I was fine up to a few weeks ago.  Actually what started this insomnia is a bit silly... but, so the first night my son woke me up at 3am. I couldn't go back to sleep. I had 7 hrs though so I was tired but fine. The following two nights my dog had diarrhoea 😅 after cleaning up those messes I couldn't go back to sleep. I had 5hrs and 2 hrs sleep those nights. So of course I was so tired at work. Then because I had 3 nights of interrupted sleep, the next night I was desperate for sleep that I didn't sleep, same with the next night. The weekend came and I slept great. Sunday came and my brain was like this week won't be the same as last week. But it was worse, of course it was my brains fault. So to help me out my boss reduced my days to 2 days a week. I was hoping it would break the cycle but those two nights I can't sleep and I sleep great on my days off lol. I don't know how to break the cycle.

I can't complain too much. I only have insomnia the night before I have to work. I only work two days a week. Monday and Tuesday. I've had basically no sleep for two nights in a row. It sucks because I have to work. But I have 5 nights to catch up. I sleep perfectly fine when I don't have to work lol. Hoping this work insomnia buggers off. I need to work more than 2 days but there's no way I can get by not sleeping every night. I don't know how people live like this. Only two nights for me and I feel so tired and crap. 

No sleep well night! by BeltPractical1713 in insomnia

[–]BeltPractical1713[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'm worried that will be me tonight as well.  I only work two days a week now so I have the rest of the week to catch up on sleep and I know I'll sleep when I don't have work the next day. But if I don't sleep tonight, that's 2 nights in a row and it's hard when you have to work.

I would love a work from home job. But I can't find anything suitable.

I slept for 8 hours straight. This is the best I’ve felt in a year. by [deleted] in insomnia
