It's odd, i haven't had issues with insomnia for a really long time.. like.. for 4 years now almost.. granted at first it was cause i was highly medicated so trying to be awake was just about as hard as getting to sleep on normal days. lol!
But I also was taking Vyvanse for a long time, and found i just suddenly lost the insomnia issues i had in the past when i wasn't on klonapin, cymbalta, buspar, along with a few others. But vyvanse is a stumlant i believe, which i find werid because i fall asleep on it instead of it waking me up (i mean it DOES wake me up but after about intial bam i could sleep and often would get tired and need naps and sleep at night too!)
I had this issue a lot when i was in high school, but most of it was cause i didn't want to goto sleep so i stayed up..
Now i'm so bodily achey and tired and like my body craves sleep but when i go and lay down all i do is lay there... after about 20 mins of laying there i start tossing and turning (the adhd side of me) -i even piss my cat off and she'll end up leaving me during the night to go sleep on the floor or the couch. lol.
But all i can get for sleep is about 3hrs a night... and i'm feeling the effects of not getting enough sleep, as i normally have been sleeping 8-10 hrs a night for a few years.. up until a few weeks ago.. and it only seems to be getting worse.. and so is my adhd .. normally I have like 98% ADD, and 2%ADHD, and it feels like it's totally flopped on me... like when i was a kid before i hit teenhood.
(my insurance decided to not cover adult add/adhd therapy or meds this year as well, so i'm stuck with no aid in those areas)
But i just dont know what to do. ...
I'm on a no caffiene diet due to having dehydration issues all the time without adding extra stressors in the mix of it. (another reason why even if i could get vyvanse right now, i wouldn't be taking it).
I know the 30 mins down 30 mins up rule doesn't work for me because I just lay there for 30 mins.. not only keeping an eye on the clock for the 30 mins to roll around, but also when i lay there my body rests and after i get up -even tho i didnt fall asleep - but it's like my body will be awake and my mind will be ready to sleep ..
(my problem seems to be, my body is tired, and my mind is well awake... OR it will be the opposite and my mind is in a "blah - no thinking - tired" mood, and my body is well awake).
