I haven't slept for two days Advice?

[Anonymous]

Sometimes my mom does not think. I have really bad amsomnia it is super hard for me to sleep at night. I have not slept for two whole days... I am basically running on coffee all day long. I try to get as much sleep as I possibly can during the day by taking naps. I am fortunate if I can get myself to fall asleep on my own or attempt. Something my mom does that really makes me mad and I really need her to stop doing is she will see that I am taking a nap or she will see that I am trying to fall asleep and she will bust into my room and wake me up to have a conversation with me or have me do things for her like (can you make me some popcorn?, can you turn on the tv?, can you close my window?, can you go to the store and buy me a bag of chips?) I do not mind doing things for my mom it is just that she acts like she can't wait until I wake up. It is super hard for me to go back to sleep once I am awake and I tell her that but she does not understand. Another annoying thing she does is she wakes up in the middle of the morning like 3am and starts slamming cabinets and banging on my wall (my room is behind the kitchen) waking me up in the middle of the morning to ask me to make her some coffee because she does not feel like making it or to go to the store. Then as soon as I do that and lay my head down to go to be thinking she left for work (she locks herself out of the house) instead of calling me or carrying her keys she rings the loud doorbell 2 million times until I open the door scaring me half to death making me run into walls and tripping over things hurting myself. I have to try and get sleep when she is at work because if she comes home and see's me sleeping she starts screaming at me calling saying "You are a lady Adult... You should be up in the morining at 7am ready to work". She is always doing this to me but when I wake her up loudly she starts screaming and cussing at me. I really want her to stop this Advice? Is it just me or is she being rude and inconsiderate?

Your body clock seems to be totally upside down. Your mum is not helping either!

First tip. Stop all coffee!! The caffeine in it won't help at all. Avoid ANY drinks with caffeine!
Second tip. Pick a random time like 4pm. You must NOT fall asleep between then and say 11pm. Next day make it 3:45pm and 11pm. Next is 3:30pm and so on.

Have you got a friend you could stay with for a few days. It is essential that you stop napping during the day. You need a totally dark room, no light whatsoever! And no noise of any sort. it's all a matter of re-training your body clock. Not an easy job.

Have a word with someone in a health shop. There are numerous herbal remedies that can help greatly. Don't use pharmaceutical drugs unless prescribed by a doctor!!

PM me if you feel it will help.

Take care, stay safe!!

Erm... why not to ask her to stop disturb you, when you're sleeping?

As for method, I listen to Delta Sleep System 2.0 by Jeffrey Thompson www.soundstrue.com/.../...leep-system-2-0-733.html
This music uses specific methods to generate delta brain waves, if I understand correctly, which helps to sleep/remove fatigue.

She is rude and inconsiderate. Get some work and move to your own haven

Honestly she sounds like a classic mom. But there's not much you can do. You could move out but that's a bit extreme. Or maybe invest in some earplugs?

There are non-addictive sleep aids on the market these days. Not getting proper sleep may be shaving years off your life. Do consider looking into it.

GO TO CHURCH, THEN YOU'LL BE FORCED TO FALL ASLEEP.
