It's just ridiculous. I wonder if there has ever been someone so refractory to sleep meds that they just never really slept again?


So, I guess it sounds like adding Thorazine is next. I am not hopeful. More to follow.


Life long insomnia here as you know.

I use to just worry and fret when I had poor sleep or no sleep , I would get obsessed over it.

Well one day with my T I was ranting and raving about no sleep for 4-5 days. I suddenly stopped talking.

According to my T I sat there for almost 5 mins lost in thought..

I said ... I’m done, I honestly don’t care if I sleep or not. Eventually my body will override my mind and I will sleep.

Well that was a turning point with my relationship to sleep.

Sure I’d like to sleep great nightly but it’s just not something I do

The only time I really need to sit up and pay attention is if I go 4-5 days of no sleep or single digits or hours, otherwise I just ride the wave.

Sometime when we stop bashing our heads into a brick wall sleep just will happen

Hope you find a solution
