hi fellow insomniacs

[claire]

hi just wanna get to know more about other people who are suffering the same or worse than me and hopefully make a few friends too, please get in touch x

[Ron Sewell]

Hi Claire, Sorry to hear about your sleeping problems. I guess it's got to be a lot worse in Huddersfield than it is in Bonaire where I live now.

At least here it is warm and being awake at night hasn't got so many disadvantages.

Hope to meet you online some time.

Ron

I can't sleep, I am going crazy. I must needs to work early, but I just can't sleep. Ahhhhhh!

Why can't you sleep?

Ahhhhhh!

how come u can't sleep? its awful aint it, really gets u down. ive struggled to sleep for 5 years but its worse now im pregnant, cant take owt either

Personally, I just can't shut my brain off. Working night shifts for a decade doesn't help the matter either. But I've had problems sleeping since I was a child. I guess I do my best thinking at night.

I have insomnia... *no surprise there...* but i also have trouble while sleeping. When i do sleep, i cant stay asleep for long periods of time, and if i do, then i begin thrashing, and screaming. I also stop breathing sometimes. and awake out of breath and gasping. My brain just can't seem to shut down. sleeping pills, ya they don't work. believe me i've tried so much. so now i just live with it. i start composing, and finding places like these to cure my boredom. :-D

YO.

I'm starting to think I'm one of the younger members on this site? My insomnia kicked in 2 weeks ago, completely out of the blue, I used to lay awake for long periods and then drop off, but now, I just don''t get tired. It's 4:19 am, no-one to talk to, nothing to do. I need some Insomniac friends

[John Bishop]

Hey I feel the same way, about two weeks ago my insomnia got worse too,I have what seems endless energy, at times I try to exaust myself even on no sleep, Try exersize if you seem to have to much energy, I posted some tools I learned to help me sleep on my profile, give it a check.Ive been to a sleeping clinic and I was told I have severe insomnia,but I allready knew that, and they said they couldnt do anything to help me, you have to learn to take matters into your own hands,you are the only one that can help you. learn to dominate this illness, Common causes of insomnia include: Thyroid malfunction/ brain tumor/ Inflamtion Medication/ Spinal fluid leakage / Hernia / or just bad habits.

Hey, my name is cody. The last time i slept was friday night for about 3 hours. and im only 15 so thats an issue. when i lay awake at night i do math or write songs. and i do good.

my insomnia started 3 months ago. i beleive it was the 7th. My great grandfather was the sherrif of plainfeild when ed gein was arrested for 10 murders. he is a notorious killer. and recently a documentary came out that is a movie version of what he did. and my great grandfather is who the sherriff in the movie is based on. and on the 7th 3 months ago i watched this movie for the 1st time. i had horrible sleeping problems from then on.
