So it's just about midnight here, and I've got to get up at around 5:30 AM, and I just can't seem to fall asleep. I'm tired, yet not tired at the same time, if that makes any sense- I mean, I should be exhausted after my day, but I'm just not able to fall asleep, and time's just moving faster and faster it seems, I mean seriously, I could've sworn it was 10:40 only 20 minutes ago, but nope, it's been almost an hour that I was laying there in the dark. No one else is up in my house, and I dunno, I guess it just makes what ever nagging thing's keeping me up worse to feel alone in the dark. I feel like I'm starting to slip into old habits though, which is annoying.

In short, I'm tired, but can't sleep, lonely, and starting to become afraid that I won't be able to sleep again (which is stupid, because I slept fine the last 3 days... seems I sleep fine when I don't have to get up?), just wondering if anyone else is about is all.

I can relate. I have had insomnia for about five years now. Can you eat a light snack and some milk? Then do something relaxing so that you are less anxious.

Here is a song I like. Perhaps you would enjoy it too.

Thanks for the input, I'm not sure how this night's going to go cause well, I'm getting a bit paranoid about stuff right now, but I'll try not to worry about it too much and just go with it- One relatively sleepless night isn't that bad in the grand scheme of things after all, I'm just worried that'll start to snowball on me again , oh well, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

I'm up too. Don't go into work until late though tomorrow. I have trouble sleeping at times too, but not too much because I work 7 days a week so once I get home I am pretty tired haha. I have two different jobs though, my week job is a set schedule my weekend job... Not so much. My schedule varies. Lately they've been giving me all mornings though, and since I work nights at my other job it's been tough to get used to and I only had 8 hours of sleep the last two days, but today went home took a long nap so I feel good now. Know how you feel though, I hate it when I can't sleep. We get ourselves into a frenzy when it gets real late and we have to get up early, at least I do. Sometimes I just take a benadryll or something and it knocks me out pretty quick have you tried doing that?
