That's a form of anxiety, right? I don't know. There's no thread for insomnia. I'm sure most of you have seen me online only during specific hours not considered to be daytime in the USA. I don't mind much, but my lack of sleeps for anywhere between 4-15 days is concerning my doctor and my family. I don't necessarily feel exhaustion, but I can *tell* when I need to sleep.

Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. It doesn't bother me much bc I can get some uni work done while everyone's asleep.

Maybe that's it. Maybe it's other issues I can't post publicly - but the insomnia has existed since I was 13, so it's not likely.

Eliminate the impossible...let's Sherlock this....but there's nothing left to eliminate. It's a long-time problem which existed long before I had any stressors in my life. There are contributing factors to stress, but if that were the case I would be sleeping

SLEEP IS A STRESS RESPONSE OH MY ODIN

I used to sleep to get through stressful days so I wouldn't have to deal with them...maybe sleep is a subconscious association with stress, so I can't sleep if I'm happy? IDK.

My family needs a solution. I tried Benadryl, 25mg Phenergan, Ambien, Nyquil, and many others, to no avail. I need suggestions, please. If I don't learn to sleep I might eat the entire kitchen.

Hi, Fury! I am also an insomniac, most of the time. I thought you'd like to know there is an insomnia thread here at PC. It's in the bipolar forum & called the Cool Insomnia Club, threaded by ~Christina. I think you might be very welcomed in that group.
