Insomnia?
I don't really know if this is insomnia or not. But I keep waking up at odd hours almost everyday, although these days I can sleep like a baby but there are times when I would just wake up at 3 AM everyday without fail and even if I can sleep again almost immediately, I will wake up at 5 AM. Even when I try to sleep earlier or latter, I will without any fail wake up if not 3 AM, then 1 AM and that happens for weeks. I thought that might be because of stress, but I don't remember stressing about anything so far to make the bad sleeping routine come again.
Anyone ever experience this?
I have actually been having that exact same thing recently. I have no idea why. I have had it before, but it only seems to last for short periods of time in my case. Normally for me though it is around 5am. Probably some sort of circadian rhythm problem I'd guess.
Well, over the past few days I have done a lot of work, and I just had to force myself to combine my two sleeping periods each day into one. I kept pushing my afternoon one back a few hours (often with the help of caffene), until it joined up with my night schedule. If any of you all out there are dealing with the same thing, this might help.
I have the exact same thing! If you find out please let me know... I'm desperate to depend on my body sleeping normally every night again.
I feel like i have Insomnia aswell... Though its not quite like yours. For my case it takes me hours to fall asleep. (The earliest i slept this past couple weeks was 3 AM) and im always waking up at around 8 no matter when i fall asleep. And im always uncomfortable when i sleep.It hurts to breath (especially when i wake up) and i get head aches. I dont wake up much during the nignt but maybe once a night? Anyways... Im not sure if i have it or not, its more of a self diagnosis. But i hope you guys can figure your situations out! May your sleep (if you manage to get any) be peaceful, with no interuptions until you wake up at the time you want to wake up at.
Yeah, there are at least two different types, that is the kind I have more often...things have just been strange for me recently.
But did any of you guys realised that there might be caused by some routine maybe?
I often wonder if I have some form of insomnia. It happens to me in blocks of time. I'll have 3 months where I sleep perfectly. I go to bed at a normal time, and get up feeling rested. Then I'll go into what I call my insomnia streaks- where It can be a week,or so where I just cannot go to bed and fall asleep. I end up watching the sun rise and frustrated. Then I'll go back into being able to go to bed at a good hour and get up no problem. I get so frustrated when I have that block of days or a week where the sleeplessness gets me. I get frustrated and then my frustration keeps me awake. hahahaha
Hi. Yes I have experienced similar disjointed phases of insomnia..they are very annoying because you end up feeling like a zombi during the day from all that lack of sleep. Pills didnt help...I just let the phase pass till my normal sleep pattern returns.
I don't have insomnia but sometimes I would struggle with falling asleep, a friend suggested sleep meditation music (since I am a meditator) well I went to youtube and listened to the deep sleep music and deep sleep guided mediation while going to sleep and now its become my regular! It allows me to sleep so soundly! Try it you wont believe how well rested you feel in the AM :)
Happy sleeping!
May I know which one of the video you hear on youtube? The link maybe?
I'm not sure if this is insomnia but from time to time I have a phase of about usually one or two weeks in which i wake up two or three times every night and fail to fall asleep again. For exemple I first wake up at 1 AM and have struggle to fall asleep again so I'll be asleep again around 2 AM, next I wake up at 3 AM and so on. It's really annoying because the next morning I'm very tiered and I don't know what to do about it. Because after such an "insomniac phase" I sleep well for several weeks again until it starts all over again.
I'm exhausted but afraid to sleep because I fear what the next day holds. It's Sunday and since Thursday I've slept a total of about 8 hours. I know this is situational and will pass when my immediate stressor is lessened. Typically though, outside of my current situation, I can easily fall asleep, get in 2 or so good hours, then wake up every hour or so the rest of the night, before giving up at 3AM and rising for the day. I also have PTSD related sleep paralysis, which makes me fearful of sleep at times as well. I've tried meditation and breathing techniques to no avail. I'd like to hear other's strategies for dealing with insomnia and sleep issues.
ive had a bit of the opposite, i can't fall asleep but if i do i can't wake up.
