 I have had insomnia going on 2 days. No sleep. I did alot of cleaning, washing, cooking and exercising. Now my body says to be lazy. Body is so very, very tired. BUT my brain is wanting my body to get up and go go go and do do do. Even all my meds have not knocked me out like they normally do. I will collapse sometime tomorrow. That is the way it happened last time.

Do you take a mood stabilizer? This sounds like your going from depressed to manic.

You may have OVER stimulated yourself and now your body cannot calm down. Next time try not to do TOO much all at once. It works best for me. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee

Also you might consider whether you've begun to build a tolerance for the stabilizers. Not saying that's all it is...Just thinkin to be safe

I too suffer from Insomnia and have been learning about friends with similiar personalities that are up for hours on end with maybe one or two hours a sleep. I usually see them on facebook. I also take Lamictal along with Vyvanse, and Effexor. We have to get ourselves into a habit of shaping our mind and body to learn to relax and think about an environment, a person, a smell, a sound (relaxing music) or even using other techniques that will help get ourselves in a routine of getting away from the computer and back into bed to try and retrain ourselves to go to sleep. I have taught my daughters how to self-sooth to go to sleep. They are ADHD. It is very difficult for us to shut off our minds and calm our bodies. I used peaceful music with ocean waves (nothing too fruity sounding) the sound of a heartbeat (lullaby for babies) and took them through each step of how to relax each part of their body to help them fall a sleep. Best of luck to you. Take care.
