No, that is not dumb. I have the same problem. It just hit me out of nowhere and it is pure hell because you are exhausted and you just want to relax and go to sleep. I even started to resent people around me that could sleep. I tried Benadryl and that just made me drugged and extremely anxious. Finally I went to my doctor and he put me on klonopin and lexapro, but now he wants me to just take the lexapro. I tried that and it doesnt work so I am going to beg him to help me and let me take the klonopin because if I dont sleep I cant function at all, not one bit and the more sleep I miss, the more anxious I become. I even feel dissociated from everything when I miss sleep. Its like I hear people talking around me but I feel removed from it all. Does that make sense? That is what sleep deprivation does to me. I would go to your doctor so you can get some relief. There is no reason to suffer. I hope you get some sleep tonight.
