Troubled mind

Have you ever not been able to sleep because of something on your mind?

Literally for the past 2 nights my sleep has been disturbed (a lot more last night, I must have awoke about 10 times), and the same thing was straight on my mind from the moment I woke up. There was no gradual change as my mind slowly came out of sleep. The thought was just there with me straight away and I couldn't shake it, not even for sleep it seemed. I fear that tonight will be the same, as the thought is something I cannot control at all. I can only wait until my mind wants to care about it less.

And that is not something I can see happening right now.

So sleep deprivation here I come.

pretty much every night, unless i'm drunk off my ass, is a night where it takes me forever to sleep because of too much shit on my mind. no matter what i do to try and change my thoughts, it goes right back to it.

ugh.

we stay up together

Movie Marathon me and you. We'll pig out, we'll drink fizzy (OR SODA) drinks till we're burping through our eyes and just fucking having a ball.

JadeTheAssassin 2011-02-07 04:36:46

that sounds like a fucking good plan.

Gagsy 2011-02-07 04:36:46

The best plans in history of plans.

Drink a glass of milk.

Gagsy 2011-02-07 06:31:35

Maybe, thank you.

I spent several hours last night trying to get to sleep. Unfortunately, the more you try not to think of something, you more you think about it. I'd recommend trying not to think of something else...

I listen to music to try and distract myself when I'm trying to sleep, but that barely works any more.

Gagsy 2011-02-07 10:16:02

Yeah I used to put on a dvd or something but I'm terrible now and like my dark and quiet. I used to need noise to sleep but it distracts me now.

6 points and fifty million! I give my thanks to Roman and the boys.

Gagsy 2011-02-07 11:21:22

We'll get Torres firing ye of little faith. The problem was the setup, not the player.

Victory 2011-02-07 12:04:21

Also that Chelsea Torres banner had a design from the Shankly gates on it, bahaha.

Couldn't make it up.

Gagsy 2011-02-07 12:04:21

So I heard. Fool on the few who made it I guess.

SkeletonGimp 2011-02-07 12:20:19

Solution:

Stop fapping over Torres.

Result!

Gagsy 2011-02-07 12:20:19

I can't. Since Chelsea bought him he has consumed my very soul. I couldn't care if he never plays well for us, he just looks too fucking good in blue.

The woman in me is winning.

Once I fall asleep I tend to stay asleep, but it's the falling asleep that is the problem for me. Lately when I've had something on my mind, I wind up laying in bed trying to fall asleep until 4 or 5 in the morning and wind up only getting 3 or 4 hours of sleep before my alarm goes off at 8

Even when i try to take some over-the-counter sleeping pills like tylonol PM I still have a hell of a time sleeping because my mind would be going a mile a minute even though the meds make me feel really drowsy

Gagsy 2011-02-07 12:52:28

Yeah it can suck. I know loads of people who just drop off to sleep at a moments notice, and while I can sleep in any situation it would still take me a while to sleep regardless.

I've never tried sleeping pills really, I see them as a bad thing. My boss takes them almost excessively and she has strong ones from the doctor. She told me once how she was having a bath then just fell asleep in the bath while relaxing. She woke up a few hours later with the bath cold. She was lucky she didn't drown really.

What's worse is when you can't sleep and you have a panic attack.

Everyone else is asleep, so you can't get help. If you scream or get up, you'll wake someone up, and they'll react violently. It's also night, which makes everything worse.

It sucks.

Gagsy 2011-02-07 14:35:36

I only get panic attacks when I'm in bed and I start thinking about the end of the world. I try not to let it happen a lot so I mostly (if I can) let my mind wonder to some fantasy just to stop evil thoughts entering.

Maybe that would help you? Instead of worrying that you're not asleep, just close your eyes and daydream I guess. Until your body and mind feels ready to drop off. I have to do this every night to sleep.

Dubbi 2011-02-07 22:52:38

I don't sleep well either, just can't fall asleep I guess. Try counting sheep, it actually kind of works if you do it long enough - don't be afraid to get into the hundreds without effect. Counting sheep really does calm your mind and stop you from thinking about other stuff.

Gagsy 2011-02-07 22:52:38

I could never do that, I'd just feel bored and more restless because of it. My only solution is giving my brain some kind of 'fantasy' to think about why I try to sleep. It's just hard when something else is taking up space in my head.

Ryanson 2011-02-08 01:05:45

Mmmmm I eat your dreams.

Gagsy 2011-02-08 01:05:45

But they're my dreams! D:
