Does anyone else ever get so damn tired that they can't sleep?

[KitchenWitch]

:shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

1. Yup

It's kind of like "drinking yourself sober." :crazy:

[Road Scholar]

2. Oh yes, many times.

[Auggie]

3. Like, right now at 1:40 am on the West Coast?

[WCGreen]

4. pretty much every night.....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. ........

:hug:

[BlueIris]

5. Instead of focusing on trying to force yourself to sleep, try to

force yourself to stay awake. It's a cheap psychological trick known to make your mind more interested in sleeping than resisting sleep.

6. no I am awake now

because I got fired up to write a reply to a letter that attacked my last LTTE. I still may not be able to sleep. Plus my lazy lunatic of a boss was harrassing me about me not doing enough work.

[Omphaloskepsis]

7. My metabolism is so fast that eight hours of sleep....

Drains me where I don't have the energy to get out of bed. I have to keep water bottles and food on my bed. Without, I won't be able to get out of bed.

8. KitchenWitch!!

:loveya:

Yes sometimes. I'm sorry you can't sleep. :hug:

:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

10. Yup.

Happens to me often. I'm sorry.

:hug:

[brook]

11. Yes.

I call it "hitting the wall" and either take a Vicodin or half a Halcion. I figure I need one good night's sleep every other week or so.

[Left Is Write]

12. Yes.

I've had all kinds of sleep issues. Ambien has really helped me.

[KitchenWitch]

13. Do you do any sleep driving?

:silly:

[Left Is Write]

14. No, I try to avoid that.

[TheBaldyMan]

15. Yes, stay up to to your normal bedtime then let your bodyclock kick in.

try and avoid stimulants like coffee instead use fresh air to keep you awake.

[BreweryYardRat]

16. Had that happen on occasion.

One of the less pleasant feelings around.

[Parche]

17. tired

I cant post to you right now
I am so tired I cant sleep...........

[xmas74]

18. That would be right now.

worked all night and still can't sleep.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

19. All the time...

... that's why this place is so full at all hours...

[huskerlaw]

20. Yes.

I've been that way for the past 5 weeks.

Take right now, for example. It's 1:40 in the afternoon and I'm dead tired. I could honestly put my head down on my desk and fall asleep.

I will continue to be this tired until about 10 pm. At which point I guess my body just decides that it's never going to get the sleep it needs, because then I get almost hyper.

It's been this way for over a month. Dead tired all day, then can't get to sleep until after 1 am.

[JVS]

21. yes

[Broken_Hero]

22. yep, happens

quite often...

[BarenakedLady]

23. Yes

I've been falling sleeping a bit better lately, but I still awaken several hours too early and can not for the life of me fall back asleep. It sucks

[Dangerously Amused]

24. Yup. I've had sleep issues like forever.

The worst though is laying there, too hungry to sleep and too tired to eat.

I hate that.
