Dakkokki Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Is it normal to not be able to fall asleep for days on end? I swear I should see if I have insomnia or something because I have been staying up until like 4 or 5 am each night. I'm dying squirtle. But does anyone know how to get rid of this problem?

Vex Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Hi there Snowflake, it might be normal if you do have insomnia. I've had it for about a year and I frequently stay up for over 34 hours at a time, just don't expect to keep in the same sleeping routine for very long, I found that out the hard way. There are quite a few forms of sleeping pills that I've tried work, I'd say for now to go and get checked out by a doctor first and tell them everything~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Definitely not normal. What you need i to get out there everymorning and jog for an hour or so. That's how i cured mine. Tea helps as well, and the type of music you listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Monkey Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Kendall, I have that same problem! I keep saying, "I will go to bed early tonight." It never happens though... I am always up until 4 or 5 am.... Then I want to wake up early, sometimes I do... Sometimes I don't... lol Anyways, when you figure it out, give me a shout too! XD Merry Christmas by the way!

Administrators Amethyst Posted December 25, 2012 Administrators Share Posted December 25, 2012 Insomnia is an over-applied term. I stay up till 4 or 5 each night but I don't have insomnia. I choose to not sleep because I get so wrapped up in whatever. I don't get tired. Insomnia is being tired, wanting to sleep, but not being able to. Lying in bed exhausted for hours, but never falling asleep. If that's what you have, then you have a couple options. Either trying to clear your head of whatever's keeping you up, taking some sort of something, be that tea or medicine, to help you sleep, or switching to a polyphasic sleep schedule (taking naps periodically instead of sleeping all at once). If you don't have the literal insomnia, then it's just a matter of self control. Self control is a muscle- it needs excercise like anything else.
