And it's affecting my vision

I think it is the lack of sleep that's doing it. I keep getting startled by the star in the upper right hand corner of SW, where it says 'Get VIP'. Every time I notice this, I see 'get a GRIP.' 🙃

I couldn't sleep right now if my life depended on it

Soooo many things on my mind making me uneasy and restless

I'm restless and it's FREAKING annoying

I couldn't sleep if my life depended on it. I don't know what's happening all of a sudden.

Not buying it 😯

I Have Insomnia

Sometimes I wonder if I'm not trying hard enough, but a hot cup of tea, a dark room, no social media an hour before, not eating after a certain time, and whatever else... I'll do it all the "right way", fall asleep at 10 p.m. and ...

I Have Insomnia

I couldn't sleep last night so i counted pumpkins... Unfortunately it didn't work. Maybe if i think of the sound of you breathing. Missing my pumpkin friend beyond words.

I Have Insomnia

I don't know if it's actual insomnia or whether I just don't need much sleep. I'll take a Promethazine to go to bed, but I'll wake around 2am and that's it for the night. I usually lay around until 4, then get up. I seem...

Am so tired this morning, mind working overtime last night.Any suggestions on how to cure?

I Have Insomnia

Yeah, this. 😑

I Have Insomnia

I dont know if this is Insomnia or Anxiety. I find it hard to sleep because I always feel I have something to do and I feel like I have too much to do and then I end up on the computer just wasting time and listening to music. Watching TV as the dumb...

I didn’t sleep well at all last night so today’s about to be an experience 😴 I need better sleep habits

I Have Insomnia

Welp, I spent the whole night lying awake in bed staring at the ceiling, watching the TV in my head and listening to the endless internal dialogue that never stops, ever. Now I'm all ratty and pissy 😫 If it goes on the way it usually does, I p...

I Have Insomnia

I wish I could sleep once in awhile but I dont hardly ever sleep and I will lay there thinking about every mistake I made for the last 20 yrs!!

I Have Insomnia

Well I don’t but I do right now . Time to give up and have some black stuff

Sometimes I don't sleep for days. It's very hard for me to be social when I am desperate for sleep.

I Have Insomnia

Me too. How about now?

I Have Insomnia

Day 4 and I haven’t slept, even when I go outside for a walk at night nothing seem to help right now so I need to buy some medicine to help me be knocked out in bed

I Have Insomnia

I’m very bad with the self diagnosing thing, but at this point I think I’m beyond just “having trouble sleeping.” I’ve always been a night owl, and I just kind of accepted that 2 or 3 am was my bedtime. It’s not difficult for me to stay awake for 20-...

I Have Insomnia

Sounds cringey but when my boyfriend isn't in the bed next to me I find it really hard to get to sleep (even though when I finally get to sleep I probably sleep better than when he's there!). I can lie awake all night and it starts just fee...

I Have Insomnia

I always have my deepest negative thoughts conveniently when it’s time for me to sleep...it’s like when the whole world is silent i finally have to deal with myself.

I Have Insomnia

For the past 3 months I have struggled with insomnia. I use to love sleeping, and I still do, but I can rest in the same way. I know last year was tough and I struggle with anxiety, but I miss being able to sleep for hours without waking. Maybe somet...

Shut up, brain. 🙄

Just love waking up at 5:30am for no reason on my day off. 😑

I Have Insomnia

Ever since I retired getting to sleep has been a problem but ( it works for me at least) I discovered Tibetan bowls. I found on YouTube a video of slow deep toned chimes from a single bowl that lasts for about an hour. It helps avoid the annoying lit...

Intending to sleep at exactly 8pm but your body and mind won't cooperate. And I really want to sleep easily cause when my eyes are wide open and I'm conscious, I get to have these myriad thoughts swirling inside my messy head, creating a tu...

I Have Insomnia

Having insomnia is uniquely bittersweet, I can see the sunset and the sunrise, the starry sky and the blue sky, feel the midnight and the daylight atmosphere, hear the night animals and the morning birds. 15 years already. Painful and Grateful.

I Have Insomnia

I am so tired! I had ZzzQuil but my mother took it away. She thinks I will become addicted to it although I bought the anti-addiction bottle. She gave me melatonin. It didn't work. It never works. I was sleeping well for three weeks because of t...

I gave up on sleeping last night. It just isn't cut out 4 me.

I Have Insomnia

Love these sleepless nights

I Have Insomnia

I got an hour and a half of sleep last night. Now I'm feeling that weird sort of mellowness that happens when you're kind of withdrawn from yourself, and your body releases all of its last-resort chemicals to keep you going.

I Have Insomnia

Yup. I don't mind though

I Have Insomnia

Almost eight o'clock in the morning and still unable to fall asleep. But that's alright. ~TheUnknown

I Have Insomnia

It's past three o'clock in the morning and I feel tired and my eyes are strained but I do not want to sleep yet. I'd much rather stay up on this computer. If there was a way I could go my entire life without even falling asleep, I...

I Have Insomnia

I have now officially passed the point where I've been awake long enough that I can't remember how long I've been awake. If I don't sleep tonight, the special effects will start tomorrow for sure.

I Have Insomnia

I suffer with insomnia and I hate it. I try and try to go to bed at a normal bedtime. All I do is toss and turn and keep my BF up. He gets grumpy, sometimes I laugh at him.Big mistake. I get up and lay on the sofa and watch TV. Flipping channels to ...

I Have Insomnia

I get insomnia when I'm on my period. It sucks. 😞

I Have Insomnia

I can fall asleep...I just dont stay asleep :(

There are times I just cannot fall asleep. Much like tonight. I lie here and think of all of the unwise decisions I have ever made, the people I have hurt, the regrets, resolving problems that I have long since forgotten, and remembering the t...

I Have Insomnia

I sleep well most of the time but have periods where I just don't seem to be able to sleep at all. I'm guessing this is related to bouts of depression but I know sometimes it's just down to my mind being overactive late in the day when...

I Have Insomnia

Awake at 3am... thinking about making big life changes... putting myself first instead of others who clearly don't put me first. I have to live my life for me. I never really understood how much I make choices in my life based on other people un...

I Have Insomnia

So many sleepless nights, the realisation around 4 am that thats it for tonight. Watching it get light through the curtains. Feeling my eyes sting, head throbbing..here goes another day..

I Have Insomnia

So much on my mind. A day of turmoil. Missing my mom. Tired of demands on me. Feeling pulled apart.

I Have Insomnia

I haven't slept correctly in weeks. Every week I get about 6 to 8 hours of sleep. It would be a miracle if I can get an hour or two of sleep a day. Sleeping medication doesn't work anymore so I'm pretty much awake all the time.

I Have Insomnia

Went to bed hours ago. Been a rough day and my head is fried ! Scanning the news channels and there's a lot of unease tonight in parts of the States. This in response to that poor guy shot and killed in his girlfriends car by an over zealous pol...

I Have Insomnia

Good cure pray♥️

I find it strange that an average person can go to sleep without much effort. It can even be hard not to sleep at a typical time. It must be nice.

What do you do when your insomnia kicks in?
