I don't have insomnia, but I hope you're able to get some quality sleep soon.
I wish there were a magic pill with 0 side effects that would work for you. My grandma has insomnia and the only thing that worked for her was Geodon -- but even that eventually pooped out on her. Melatonin did nothing, Benadryl did nothing, Seroquel did nothing, Ambien did nothing, Zyprexa did nothing, Trazodone revved her up, Remeron revved her up, Depakote did nothing, etc. etc.. |

Another insomniac waving her hand. I finally gave up at 6am and started the dishwasher and washing machine. I might as well try to be productive.
I have to work this evening so I'm hoping that will wear me out |

Went to sleep at 11 pm. Up at 1.30 pm wide awake. Haven’t slept straight through for a while. While I like the quiet of being up in the middle of the night I think sound sleep would be preferable.
Hope tonight (for my American friends) is a better night full of peaceful, restorative rest. __________________ Bipolar 1 with psychotic features PTSD "Phew! For a minute there I lost myself." 'Karma Police' by Radiohead |

Great idea for a thread!

Going to read for a bit, then I’ll just stare at the wall and maybe I’ll doze off out of complete boredom??!
Oh well I’ll at least force myself to be horizontal for 4-6 hours. __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

I just got home from work - I took my nighttime meds but it's going to be a long time before I fall asleep.
Luckily, I have lots of Law & Order (the original version) on my DVR. I can usually fall asleep to that or Forensic Files. |

Hope tonight (for my American friends) is a better night full of peaceful, restorative rest. ——slept but woke up also. My non THC gummies helped me sleep but here I am, yes I’d,rather be sleeping too. Mixed episodes- phew. Just rest, everyone, maybe Netflix (most of those work for me if I turn away from the screen)or audiobooks. Don’t want to do another gummy.
