Insomnia

**oneone** · 07-08-2008, 12:18 PM

Insomnia is a symptom of a sleeping disorder characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep despite the opportunity.

I realized I’ve been rolling around in bed for hours in the past week/month before I actually fall asleep. I think this may be because I don’t have school at the moment. When I had school, I fall asleep pretty quickly since my mind knows that I need to rest in order to concentrate in school the next day.

Anyone diagnosed with insomnia? Sleeping pills?
How long does it take before you fall asleep?
What's your sleeping schedule like?

There are times when I swear my eyelids are stitched open and I can't sleep at all. I have sleeping pills ( some kind of benzo) but I heard they're habit forming so I don't use them much.
I hate it when I go to bed, get to sleep, then wake up at like, 3am and lie there for the next 2-3 hours D<

I've had insomnia for days and days at a time. It's really a bitch when you're in the working world.
Because you seem like a zombie.

Sometimes I wake up in midnight or early in the morning like 5am to relief my little bladder and I stay awake til it's time for breakfast. lol

I used to get insomnia, not any more.
I used to go to bed at 9 pm, knowing that it will take me a long time to fall asleep, and the more I thought about it, the worse it got, so I'd actually fall asleep at around 5 am. That's 8 hours of lying on the bed doing nothing.
I realized I shouldn't stress out too much over it and stopped caring. Then the insomnia sort of stopped. But it still takes me about an hour to get to sleep. Much better than the 8 hours, at least.

My friend has insomnia, she hardly sleeps.

I only have trouble falling asleep if I screw up my sleep cycle and stay up really late then try to go to bed early.

I sometimes get insomnia...not recently but I hate it so much when I do. I just lie there all night and never sleep. I don't takes sleeping pills though, I'll never be able to wake up if I do. =P

I'm not diagnosed with insomnia, but I can never get to sleep. Last night for example...I went to bed at 12, and the last time I remember seeing on the clock is 4:13.

I used to have a really big problem with it when I was younger. It happened literally everyday. It's only recently become a problem again Dx
