Today, my insomnia wins. I'm too wired and awake to sleep, but too stoned on my sleeping pills to get up and do something productive. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm doing the school run. I went to bed early and took a sleeping pill for my insomnia so I could be productive. Even if I could sleep past my partner snoring like a cave bear with sinus infection, it turns out that my sleeping pills make me hyper. The next person who says ADHD is fun is getting slapped. FML
Today, I woke up after taking the new sleeping pills I was prescribed for my insomnia. I slept for 12 hours and had 5 missed calls from my boss. FML
Today, after a week of insomnia, I finally managed to fall asleep. Thirty minutes later, my friends decided to bang on my door, yelling at me to wake up and party with them. I'm now wide awake and hallucinating from lack of sleep. FML
Today, I've been awake for 4 days. My doctor recently put me on enough sleeping pills to kill a small country, but when I take them it's like a shot of adrenaline. I'm wide awake and tired as all hell at the same time. FML
Today, I was finally diagnosed with insomnia. The trouble is, because of my physical disability, I also have diagnosed chronic fatigue. Barely can stay awake during the day, can't sleep at night. FML
Today, I have to wake up in 3 hours for work, the medicine that should've made me sleep 8 hours straight failed and I woke up an hour later, not being able to sleep anymore. FML
Today, I found that I have a rare side effect to the hydrocodone prescribed after surgery. One pill keeps me up for almost 24 hours. Either I'm in tremendous pain and try to sleep, or I'm not in much pain and stay awake. I can't win. FML
Today, I'm an insomniac. My husband knows this but still woke me up throwing a fit because he lost a round on his stupid fucking cellphone game. He has to watch a 15 second ad for another life; meanwhile, I’ll be lucky if I fall back asleep before the sun comes up. FML
Today, my brain hates me and refuses to let me sleep. No matter how physically exhausted I am, my mind just keeps racing. I just wanna get some sleep! FML
Today, there are two parts to my life: The 12 hours I spend in bed each night trying to fall asleep, with limited success, and the 12 hours I'm up and trying *not* to fall asleep, also with limited success. FML

Just take some more sleeping pills. You'll start seeing shit and sooner or later knock yourself out! Problem solved.

And possibly die from an overdose of sleeping pills?

Insomnia is a real killer. OP, get rid of sleeping pills first, those are doing damage to your brain.

The best sleeping pattern is two rest periods broken by a few hour wakeful period. Before electricity humans slept at dusk until about midnight. Then theywould wake up and do things like visit neighbors for a few hours. Then sleep till dawn.

ummm.. howabout no

That is the natural sleep pattern for humans. Many doctors blame insomnia on the lumping of the rest period into one time.

i understand, it can just be very impractical for people these days

It is very impractical in todays society, and most people would rather use medication instead of changing their entire lifestyle.

physical activity helps. Doing something about the stress you may be experiencing also helps.

I made an account just to post this. You know the sleeping pills are probably half the cause in the first place right? 'Real' sleeping pills (benzodiazepines or similar) are really addictive and will easily cause a dependency. Pills are not the solution for sleeping problems, try to get off them, it will be hard but worth it. Good luck!

sorry but you dont know that for sure

how about no? If a qualified physician prescription that dosage to OP then they shouldn't mess with how much it little they recieve, dependency or not it can mess you up big time via side effects, perhaps consult the doctor about methods to alleviate the dosage or how to stop dependency. also, it's a doctor's best interest and primary goal to aid the patient/client as best he/she can
