re: Anyone here suffer from insomnia?

Yep.

Oh, that’s awful.

I’m just watching the clock until I can get my day started; just gonna tough this out.

Well I think I slept for maybe two hours. I leave my house in a few to go to work. Looking back at the responses in this thread, I hate to say it but it’s comforting knowing that I’m not the only on suffering from this

can't sleep more then 4 hours at a time.

I’ve had the sleep study; no apnea... just shite at sleeping. Even with the maximum dose of ambien (which works better for me than lunesta) I cant sleep more than two or three hours at a time. If I’m lucky after I’m up for a while I’ll be able to go back to sleep.

But without medication I’ll sleep in 45-60 minute segments.

I’ve joked about just saying to hell with it and trying the Uberman Sleep Cycle. It worked for Tesla and de Vinci.

You don't have it until you are diagnosed. Go get diagnosed and get back to us.

Any of you guys try guided meditation?
That and a few melatonin might help relax you enough to drift off to dreamland.

I’ve found that getting out of bed and sleeping on the couch helped

This helped me as well. I don’t have trouble falling asleep very often. I have trouble staying asleep. Sleeping on the couch with the dog is a guaranteed fix for that.
Good practice for when I really piss off my wife too.

I can already feel the anxiety building. Two hours last hope I can beat it tonight

It is stress. I have always struggled to sleep.

Work outs in the morning help. but it is your mind not your body that is cursing you.

Deal with your stress. Whatever issues you are worried about you need to convince yourself that you cannot do anything about them until the morning. Bonus points if you can convince yourself that a great nights sleep will allow you to do a better job resolving these problems.

Good luck.



On a positive note, many geniuses have trouble sleeping, due to the racing brain. Welcome to the club.
