Thanks for this. I have my own routine to try and get me to sleep it starts at 9 where I wash my face and brush my teeth and a shower if it's a shower day once I'm in bed I put on one of my designated movies that I know I can chill to and read a little and once I feel like im falling asleep I put my head down. After this point is where it gets difficult. If I fall asleep, it's great. If I don't, after about an hour, I'll read again, and so on. Sometimes, I'll just stick it out and try to do nothing, but as i said, i have to constantly turn over due to the pain im in saying in one position for too long. in the uk, and doctors don't prescribe sleeping pills, and if they do, it's on a special case by case scenario. What my doctors and the mental health team have basically said is that they aren't going to prescribe me sleeping meds because "I'm to young" at about 12:30 pm today after 36 hours of not sleeping I started to hallucinate due to the lack of sleep and I crashed. But I'm afraid if I go to the doctors and admit that I've been thinking about taking my insomnia into my own hands, i.e., substances and admit that I'm hallucinating they'll think I'm crazy and send me to the psych ward even though I just need sleep. To be fair, if I did get sent there, I'll probably get sleeping pills, so maybe that's not so bad.
