Can't sleep Pt. II - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

**Alera** · 11-01-2009, 04:36 AM

Beyond exhausted. Three nights with very little sleep, and I'm still trying to get better from the flu. This lack of sleep isn't helping. Plus with time change it gets lighter earlier, waking me up.

Alera, I hope you can sleep tonight. I hate being exhausted and not being able to sleep. I think that's what made my mood so horrible on Friday. Last night was the first night I've slept well in a week and I woke up flipping out because I thought I was late to work. Forgot about the time change. Curse you, daylight savings time!

Sweet dreams, everyone.

**Alera** · 11-01-2009, 11:05 AM

Sorry about your internal time clock but glad you finally got some sleep. Sure enough, I woke up an hour earlier this morning.

Lack of sleep can make a mood hell, you are not alone in that one. I'm glad you are starting to get some of that rest back.

Hey, Alera. How goes it?

I'm having trouble sleeping...don't know why...but this happens every now and again.

Maybe try reading in bed? Sometimes that makes me really tired.

**Alera** · 11-03-2009, 01:49 PM

Finally got some sleep last night. I think I was emotionally exhausted. Not as much as I needed, but some.

gneiss · 11-14-2009, 04:16 AM

Any other insomniacs out there? My life sucks right now. I hate not sleeping!

**Alera** · 11-14-2009, 04:52 AM

Sorry to see you posting tonight gneiss. I'm still up at four am. Lack of sleep really effects my outlook on life in general. Hope you feel better soon.

gneiss · 11-14-2009, 07:29 AM

Sorry you had trouble sleeping, too. I kinda dozed off for a little bit around the time you posted. Never fails, right?

This board seems to cure insomnia. Every time I post here, I fall asleep waiting for a reply. So, here's hoping it works tonight.

**Alera** · 11-14-2009, 11:51 PM

Luck to you Gneiss. I'm hoping to get some sleep tonight my*yawn*self.

gneiss · 11-15-2009, 12:22 AM

No luck tonight I guess. Hope you got some sleep, Alera.

I, for one, have a very clean kitchen.

**Alera** · 11-15-2009, 01:52 AM

So sorry to hear that you are still up. I'm going to try to go down with a book now. Its been a long day, my cousins obit was published and that made it a bit more real for me.

I'm trying hard to get used to a new schedule. Unfortunately, I've been cycling through a day with too little sleep followed by a day with too much. The good thing is that the impetus behind my new schedule is making my life so much more rewarding. Right now I'm on the too little sleep day so I'm on here trying to make the most of my time.

gneiss · 11-21-2009, 09:08 AM

So here's my new thing: I have no trouble falling asleep. I get tired at a reasonable time and I go to bed. About 2 hours later I wake up and can't get back to sleep. So in the past 3 nights I have slept about 7 hours total. FML.
