Awake at silly o'clock again!

[newbs16]

Hello

i used to never have trouble sleeping but lately i always seem to be awake at 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning :-(

sometimes seems like i am the only one awake!

[Medea]

You're not. I'm awake and probably will be for hours.

I've been in perpetual bad sleeping routines all my life.

Same here. My body clock seems to go round and round and round.

I'm also here, with a mixture of insomnia and worry about going into work tomorrow. This lovely combination has been bugging me now for months. I always feel like a washed out rag in the morning - a great way to start the day. I think this'll be me for good now - no more sleep tonight :-/ I'll browse the forum then maybe play a game on my phone. I'll stay in bed though cos all hope of sleep will be lost completely if I get up.

Once I get into a good routine, it slowly changes and I'm in a bad routine again.
If I go out at night, that just determines I will have a bad routine.

[newbs16]

thank you for your replies x

I'm pretty much always up at these odd times. Browsing the web and listening to music late at night/early morning gives me a lot of good time to think and relax.

Those early singing birds at 3am+ can be annoying though.

I've just been playing a game on my phone and got totally absorbed. I've got up now and I'm watching tv through blurry eyes.

I'm supposed to be going to my in-laws soon and need to have an 11pm-8am sleeping pattern going on, but right now it's 6am-4pm.

Ah well!

I wish there was a tablet that could make you fall sleep instantly.

This is just a normal hour tbh.

I dont finish stuff usually until 2-3.

Then I need atleast a minimum of one hour to 'cool down' my brain. No point going to bed straight away with an overactive brain.

Me too. I've taken a few sleeping pills but none of them really work. Some are better than others but the insomnia normals comes through.

[I Love My Cats]

I must've got back to sleep at about 5.30am, only for the alarm to go off at 6am

[яemus]

Insomniac here

Got about 4 hours last night and was tossing and turning. My brain is melting today....

[MrOmega]

Insomnia is part of my life now.. I rarely get more than 5-6 hours sleep.

[newbs16]

I've had a few hours sleep and now i am wide awake its getting too me now!

[The Pigeon]

Awake and working!

As I work for myself, I find myself slipping into working nights and sleeping days.

[newbs16]

i used to sleep great not so much now. do you get bored working from home?

[The Pigeon]

Not really, I quite like it.....tend to put on a audio book and just get on with it.

My work is really varied, I think I would get bored as hell if I was doing something repetitive.

There is something quite cool about waking up at say 3am and thinking "go back to sleep or go make money!"

[anxiouslondoner]

I'm awake too, for no good reason - well I did fall asleep at about 9pm, probably just a bit out of phase.

[Defiance]

Im awake at this sensible hour.


but am forced to go out soon

[newbs16]

its getting me down this being awake at the early hours of the morning and not sleeping!

[I Love My Cats]

I know! This is a constant issue for me now too! If it wasn't against my work's policy, I'd be using this time to do work and email it in to myself right now. That way, I'd at least be doing something constructive and alleviating some of the stress that I feel about work :-/

This has been going on now for months! Wish I knew what the answer was. I hate spending the full day feeling worn out, then passing out at 9pm, only to wake up again with my heart pounding at 12am, and knowing that sleep is gone and I have to make do with 3 hours and still get through the day. It just feels so futile. I long for an unbroken 8 hour sleep again *looks all nostalgic*

[newbs16]

I am hoping this will improve for both of us x

[Dan911]

Can't sleep.

I've been thinking, people who have a good sleeping routine and have jobs probably don't feel so depressed.

What's sleep again? That thing where you sweat, toss and turn and get cups of tea every other hour? : D :'(

Hey. : )

And I've got a Dentist appointment this morning as well. Still, better to be a zombie for that instead of being wide awake.

[Medea]

Just woken up after 3 whole hours of sleep.

[Dan911]

still can't sleep.

But I been thinking a lot.

I'm feeling at peace with the messed up situation I've been in.
