I usually get to bed around noon lately. Even when I skip a "night" and try to sleep a regular schedule Im still up until at least 3am. I blame my ever shifting 24 hour college schedule and years of working late shifts.
we are the same dude.. i go to bed at 3am.. then listen to my ipod hoping that i could fell asleep.. but til' 6am im awake.. everyday of my life is like that since i graduated from college.. i start to feel sleepy at around 8am.. then wake up at 2pm.. hehe..
when i get stressed out i cant sleep and its really erratic, but normally i have 1 hour- 2 hours run on my treadmill in the morning so now i have another in the evening and it really helps with my sleep. now i just have a soak after my night run and i just completely pass out in bed until the morning
It may not be insomnia it can also be stress. When I am not so stressed out or more relaxed I sleep fine. There are a lot of times I am just extremely stressed out and when I am I got to bed at 2am or later when I usually go at 9-11pm. Its def rough sometimes.
im 27 and struggle to sleep but i know the reason for my lack of sleep is pain. it must suck if you cant figure out the reason for it so you can at least try and fix it, im thankful i know what mine is caused by.
It is definitely stress for me. When I was going to school, working, fighting with the boyfriend and all that I couldn't seep for the life of me! I got up at 6am every morning but still wouldn't fall asleep until about 4am. Now that I am stress free I am ready for bed by 10pm and it takes like less that 15 min for me to fall asleep. Just figure out what the cause of your stress is and eliminate it! Trust me, you will be glad you did!
yeah it usually take me 2-4 hours to get to sleep, but if wake up early, like 4:30 or so its a lot easier to get to sleep... along with 2mg of melatonin
I have had insomnia problems since I was about 14. It always takes me at least 45 minutes to fall asleep (average is 7-15) and I had two consecutive sleepless nights this week (rare). I am told that watching screens doesn't help, but reading does...not that I ever listened to that. I have always been resistant to taking physically addictive drugs to remediate it because I don't want to make my condition worse. However, if pot is decriminalized I wouldn't hesitate to go back to it...but until then, I just have to deal with it myself.
I know what you mean about your mind racing though....and you're really SOL if you get a song stuck in your head. Some more than others of course.
