See to me dimming the screen means "this is starting to really hurt but I want to stay awake and look at it for another hour."

i'm not actually sleepy, yet i know i should sleep, but i don't try as hard as i could. it's some kind of mental thing.
― Rubyredd, Thursday, 19 July 2007 23:48 (sixteen years ago) link
Do you sleep better in the day?
― stet, Friday, 20 July 2007 02:06 (sixteen years ago) link
no. on my days off, i still wake up after about five hours, but i try to stay in bed for ages, so that even though i'm not sleeping i'm still getting some kind of rest. i'll kinda doze off and on but not sleep properly. i definitely think it's some kind of mental thing that i need to sort out. the thing is, if i try to force myself to go to sleep at midnight, i lie there in the dark feeling more and more anxious.

That's what's good about melantonin -- you can't "think" through it like you can some sleeping pills, it just zonks you. But there's some outside fears that using it too much can fuck up your brain's production of it, so it's not really a daily thing either.

thanks, stet. i'm gonna try to find some today.

Made the mistake of sleeping in until 3pm yesterday. It's now 6.10am and I don't care who knows it. I have shit on all day (including exam invigilation PM) and then I NFL playoffs, which finish at 4am tomorrow UK time.

Two months now. Can't get to sleep, can't stay asleep, wake up early. Cannot get a single night of sleep unaided. This has never, ever happened to me before. I am completely fucking sick of it and REALLY REALLY close to breakdown point.
― Autumn Almanac, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 13:47 (fifteen years ago) link
What fucks me off most is that I'm ALWAYS tired at bedtime but cannot sleep. Heart goes into overdrive and stays there. I do not know what is causing it. I have tried changing and eliminating everything I can think of. I eat well. I exercise more than most people. I am not suiffering undue work or home stress. I just. cannot. sleep.
