Are You An Insomniac?

[AshLee83]

Are you an insomniac? Do you have trouble falling asleep? What do you think about as you lay awake at night?

Makes sense, problem is I’m like a collie…I’m tired for 5 minutes then ready to play again! Lol

Seriously, my dog never gets tired…. even after 20 mile hikes!!!

[ArtemisSilver]

Yes. I think about the high probability of nuclear war, the spread of pestilence worsening dayly. The food shortages.

AI reaching singularity and deciding to kill us. Our own insane proclivity for self eradication. The high probability of a Carrington event knocking out the power grid and internet. The way people resort to cannibalism during famines.

I also wonder if/hope that God exists, and rail at my ability to see the myriad dangers but do little or nothing to oppose them due to my own damaged and diminished capacity.

That and sometimes I think I'd like a steak, a bourbon, and to creampie a hot fertile woman.

Pretty much what's going through my head instead of sleeping.

[AshLee83]

So silly!!! All interesting and valid points though!!

[ArtemisSilver]

Haha thanks. I'm particularly fond of the last one

[AdithyaR]

Well I'm up at 3am rn so yeah I'd say I've got trouble sleeping.
It's probably depression related. I stay up at night and sleep through most of day time and just feel tired all the time.

[AshLee83]

I’m sorry to hear you feel tired all the time. I can relate! I drink coffee and tea way too much to combat the feeling.

[AdithyaR]

Yeah i drink coffee too but mostly for the taste. Kinda helps me cheer up a little

[AshLee83]

Yea coffee is more a placebo at this point! But delicious!!! Even the “World’s Strongest” coffees have little effect on me.

[AdithyaR]

Yeah i get the feeling

[dustybiker]

I keep myself too busy to be most days. Exhaustion strikes before head hits pillow. Try something to burn off extra energy. High energy class a couple times a week or something.

[AshLee83]

Not sure why my reply to you glitched and showed up as an update but that was meant to you!!!

[dustybiker]

lol How funny.

I’ve participated in agility so I know where you are coming from!! lmao

[AshLee83]

💗💗💗

[whirled_up_girl]

Yeah, sometimes if I get off track and stay up too late too many days in a row, especially on my days off from work then It's hard to get back on track.

[AimeeKyle]

Only had issues falling asleep when doing off pain patch/meds…. It was brutal. You name the topic, I thought about it. I even got up and walked the hallways of my house to help wear myself down.

Other than that, I can fall asleep within a few minutes just about anywhere. I don’t sleep much nightly….. so it makes it easier to fall asleep quickly.

[SnowedIn]

Occasionally this'll happen. Most of the time it's because I had coffee too late in the day. A few times in my life it's a result of something stressful and my mind is churning over it. But, no, not an insomniac.

[bowenw]

Sometimes if I'm behind in work. It also usually gets me before a trip, like the night before a morning flight.

[AshLee83]

I need an off switch installed in me!! Just shut me down for the evening!! 💗

[bowenw]

Maybe a massage.

[AshLee83]

Could help!! 💗

[bowenw]

Book a house call.

[AshLee83]

Long distance house call?

[bowenw]

If that will cure your insomnia.

[AshLee83]

“Purely for scientific purposes”…of course!! Lol 💗

[bowenw]

That goes without saying. 😉

[AshLee83]

That was a great line of yours! So many uses!! 💗

[bowenw]

💗💗

[Tennessee_fan]

I have a really hard time falling asleep then when I do I wake up and can't hardly ever go back to sleep I'm lucky to get 4 hours a sleep a night most nights

[AshLee83]

I’m the exact same way!

[desidoll]

I used to, and thought I had health issues or disorders. After I resigned, I didn’t have problem sleeping anymore. It was my job and my boss that giving me anxiety and depression.

[misfittoy]

yes, i put on movies and go to sleep to them but normally up again in an hour or so. i think about work, things i have to do, patients random silly stuff

[LovingJo]

Yes, and I hate it.. It's quite literally DESTROYING my life!! 💯😢💔

[AshLee83]

I can relate all too well!!

[Utopia1]

Sorry to hear about that. I have no trouble

[AngelOfLight258]

Some nights I am and some I can just put my head on the pillow and go to sleep.

[AngelOfLight258]

What about you?

[AshLee83]

I take about two hours to fall asleep every night. Even after loooooooong hikes, running, yoga and a relaxing meditation I still lay wide awake for hours. Using a white noise machine helps but isn’t a solution. I’m also a very lite sleeper and wake up many times a night.

[Charliefretz329]

Sometimes, especially if it’s a full moon or I have an important deduction to make

[AshLee83]

Deduction or seduction? 💗💗

[Charliefretz329]

Lol *decision

[Charliefretz329]

But yeah that too

[Nikki1989]

I go to sleep OK, but I never stay asleep for long.

[MadClown]

Yes I am, I don’t think about anything deep.

can check out my take.

[Danny_dan92]

There are times where I struggle to fall asleep

[Agape93]

Yeap in a sense

[Wise4myage]

Thankfully no.

[LavLavLuv]

Sort of😭😭

[James899]

Yes. I am!
