Have you ever felt super tired but couldn’t sleep a wink?

[WonderBell99]

Yo. Been feeling super tired. I slept for barely an hour last night and when I woke up, I didn’t feel tired at all. It’s around 4am rn and even though I feel tired, I can’t sleep and I don't know why. My sleep schedule’s a bit shitty tbh. When I don’t have work or if I’m on a break from work, I go to bed at like 8pm, wake up at 1am and just read a book or watch a movie or whatever and then go on with my day. I’ve been getting around 2 hours of sleep for a week now and I don’t feel tired during the day. Is my circadian rhythm a bit wonky?

Has happened with me ppent of times. At times when I travel, I tire myself out, yet when I reach the destination, get comfortable and all, I still can't sleep. This was then. But this has become a bit too frequent here as well. Not sure why does this happen tho :/

[WonderBell99]

Thank you, I can't sleep in places I’m not familiar with either. But I’m at home right now and I’m still not able to sleep. I’ve always had a shit sleep schedule, but I feel like it’s getting worse and I’m worried.. I thought I’d do something productive, but I’ve been losing interest in almost everything lately. Not sure what’s happening.

Mine started when I was preparing for this entrance exam, took too much from me and now since I'm in the university I wanted to be, that habit has still followed me. I'm currently on a brief break from uni and in my hometown, yet can't sleep for shit although I feel tired because of being out for almost half the day.

It could be because you're going through something stressful?

[WonderBell99]

Hmm not really. I haven’t felt stressed out in a week.

Mine started in 10th grade and has continued up till now. It’s great that you got into the uni you wanted tho! Congrats (:

Then it must have started out because of stress and has now become a habit? I'm not stressed these days either but the habit comes and goes xD

And thank you very much :D

[WonderBell99]

Yeah, but I used to feel sleepy even like 2-3 weeks ago. I think it’s become a habit tho.. you’re right haha

I read somewhere that if you're unable to sleep, try blinking your eyes continuously for at least like a minute. It helps put you to sleep. Give it a try if you like 😊

[WonderBell99]

Thank you so much!! You’re really kind

I’ll def give that a try

[Passing_by]

You're very welcome :D
My pleasure 😊

Let me know if it works... after you wake up hopefully hah :D

[Chazmatazz269]

Yup. A lot. At your age, i wouldn’t worry about it too much unless it persists or you incur significant consequences from sleep deprivation. Obviously you’re familiar enough with what “healthy” sleep should be that if it gets bad you can just regiment your sleep. If that doesn’t work, see a doctor. You might have one of a variety of conditions that can negatively affect your quality and quantity of sleep.

[Msputiton]

Yeah.

Sometimes when you become too tired, your adrenaline kicks in as a way to keep you going.

So sleeping is hard

[WonderBell99]

Thank you.. I really want to sleep though. Sighs

[Msputiton]

Oh got a restless mind? Or a lot of stress?

[WonderBell99]

Hmm, maybe a restless mind but not really stressed

[Msputiton]

Dang. Try meditation

[Agape93]

All. The. Fucking. Time.

[WonderBell99]

I’m really sorry. *hugs*

[Agape93]

It's life
@PrettyPriya and @SecretsofKB can vouch lol

[Agape93]

Stop eating meat. Your body is not made to digest animal corpses. Your body is trying to figure out what to do with it while you sleep. It's metabolizing the meat while you sleep, which is why you wake up and feel tired even though you got to sleep.

[Saltystardust]

Yes, it happens a lot actually. I usually end up taking an antihistime and smoking 420, when it gets bad or else I'm the kind that will fall asleep during the day at times I need to be awake.

[Kingofkings1992]

Yes. That usually means you have something on your mind that’s bothering you.

[WonderBell99]

I’m not really stressed out about anything tbh

[Havthrills]

That just all depends. Everyone's sleep is different. Mine is way off almost like yours but I work nights. 3 to 5 hours total sleep during the day. That's about all I get every day.

[exitseven]

Yes, lots of times. I have trouble sleeping.

[Wise4myage]

Yeah, it’s the worse when I am super tired and can’t relax.

[Kaneki05]

Because you can't sleep until I poke you

[ItsLily]

Yes I have this problem too.

[Anonymous]

Yeah so is mine too
