Night Owls

[MOOGLEYS]

My Anxiety is having a juicy flare up at the moment and my sleep is being affected. Nothing worse than being up early and feeling anxious.....

My thread was merged with this one
So just a random comment
So I can find it again
Actually slept till 4am though probably
Because didn't go to sleep at all
The previous night
Insomnia is awful
Especially when got a partner who can be asleep within literally 60 seconds
Lucky sod

Been awake on and off all night sleeping for a little then suddenly awake. Was up between 2 and 4. I feel really tired just cannot stay asleep. It’s my Anxiety that is doing it as I feel very Anxious when I wake up and have to calm myself down. It’s a right pain....

Same I just tried going back to bed but could not sleep so have given up and making a cup of tea now. I get Anxious about being tired which makes it harder to sleep. Can’t win really...

Beat me I only made it to 4am
Wouldn't be so bad if was one of those
People who could get by with
Little sleep but I am not one
I will be like a zombie all day lol
Then start to pick up around 10pm
And won't be able to sleep
Again and so the cycle continues

My insomnia comes when my Anxiety flares up which then makes me more Anxious due to not sleeping. It’s a horrid circle I get so tired with the Anxiety then cannot sleep or sleep poorly.

The worst is feeling as though you could drift off when you know it's time to get up.

 

[MOOGLEYS]

Yeah tbh I feel like I could just do that now...

Hey, anyone up?

 

[Rroff]

No

 

[LeMson]

No it's bed time!

 

[Mcnumpty2323]

Yeah, sitting listening to
The rain hoping it might prove
Relaxing and send
Me to sleep, proving just as
Inefectual as all the rest of the stuff
I try though

My insomnia from this pulsatile (vascular origin) tinnitus - the only thing that partly works is sleeping pills. But I get it in Antipodean time. So, I suppose it doesn't count. Am having to take naps on average 3x a day in an effort to briefly escape the irritating noise.

At least you didnt
Wake us up
To ask hey are you awake

Tinnitus must be pretty hard to
Cope with at least external
Noise you have a hope
Of trying to blank it out even though
Trying to blank it
Doesn't usually work for me
Even 10mg of zolpidem
And a good slug of phenargen
Has had no effect tonight
