Reply #8: Insomnia sucks [View All]

[skygazer]

And the longer you go without sleep, the more you dwell on all the things you have to do in five hours - whoops, now it's four hours - okay, now it's three hours - ...... which makes it that much harder to GET to sleep because you're so stressed about the fact that you can't get to sleep.

I am fortunate in that I appear to have moved beyond my insomnia. I suffered terribly for about 6 or 7 years, perhaps longer. At one point, I was working road construction and I'd get to work on about 2 hours sleep and have to work for ten hours underneath heavy equipment and stuff and I'd feel like a total zombie. It was not a nice situation.

You have my sympathy.
