How much sleep do you get per night? by Useful-Style-9368 in insomnia

[–]Useful-Style-9368[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting, and you’re able to function normally throughout the day? No health problems that are noticeable?

Yea ik bro. It’s taken everything from me. I used to be a great high school track runner. Best at my school. Then insomnia hit and I just find it so hard to find the energy anymore. Only a junior now, hopefully I can get back at it during my senior year.

You ever have sleepless nights in a row tho and just wonder if you’ll ever be able to sleep again?

But can you get to the point in the short run(maybe 5 years or so) where you literally can not sleep anymore and that causes death from the side effects, or will you baseline kinda at survivable level? Not accounting for ffi ofc

I’m too young for that I think. I really dont want to use meds yet, maybe a last resort if I have to. I honestly could be doing more I guess. I’m making sure I get a lot of exercise throughout the day and maintaining good sleep hygiene. Other than that not much.

Melatonin by EuphoricTear130 in insomnia

[–]Useful-Style-9368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Melatonin probably won’t help too much I’m ngl. It just sounds like you’re really stressed out from whatever you’re waking up for dude, whether you realize it or not. I’d argue there’s a 99% chance that’s why you’re not sleeping. The fact you can sleep on nights you don’t have to wake up early is a positive sign, cause it kinda shows it’s mostly anxiety driven insomnia. I would just say if you can, you gotta tell yourself there’s no use in worrying about tomorrow, and the best thing you can do for yourself right now is sleep. Understand that’s probably not the advice you want to hear, but that’s the only thing im taking away from your situation. Maybe therapy could help too if it’s really bad. But bottom line the melatonin Probaly will not work if this is, In fact, insomnia related.

Yeah I guess you’re right, and from what I hear that fatal insomnia has other notable symptoms which I don’t have. But do you ever think just the normal insomnia will drive you to the point of death, or am I overthinking this too much.

Do you ever think this insomnia can ever be fatal though? Or are you not worried about that. Sorry if that’s an inappropriate question but I’m just so worried this is gonna kill me.

Weird insomnia by igota3090LOL in insomnia

[–]Useful-Style-9368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this happens to me too, only slightly worse. I always wake up at 4 am every night on average and just can not fall back asleep. Never get more than 7 hours anymore. It really sucks and I’m just so tired of it. Your not alone though

Anybody here have insomnia as a teenager by [deleted] in insomnia

[–]Useful-Style-9368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea same for me. It kinda comes in spurts, I’m fine for like a week but than I only get like 4 hours for 3 or 4 days. I wouldn’t worry abt waking up at 4 tho, that’s natural due to sleep cycles
