No sleep last night 😥

14 Replies

Shout out to all of those who didn’t sleep last night. Here’s to going to work, school, being a mom or dad on no sleep. Nothing like needing to sleep and not being able to!

Yeah, I have to take several meds to even get tired.

I took some ambien and Xanax and still barely slept

I was on Ambien for several years and caused major side effects. It was the only thing that zapped me out immediately. But I decided to detox from it because addictive.

Can totally relate. It's been a big issue for me lately, especially when I have to stay up in a class. Have you ever tried ASMR? It helps me a lot when it's time to sleep but my mind is racing. I would recommend WhispersRed ASMR, you can find her on youtube. Hope it helps :*

I haven’t heard of that, what is it?

There is a dictionary definition: "a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound." The videos include soothing sounds like tapping, whispers, paper tearing. You just need to find which ones work for you. Hair brushing is my favourite so far ;)

I've been having trouble sleeping for a while now. It's either I'll fall asleep then wake up alot during the night or it'll take me most of the night to fall asleep and then my alarm is going off.

I hope you find a way to help you get some sleep. Hugs.

I fell asleep ok but woke up 2 hours later and it was tossing turning and worrying till the dawn. Hugs to you too

I’m sorry!! It’s pretty awful I know

Yeah but it happened so many times you just learn to deal with it. Lol I don’t get as upset about it anymore. I just go with the flow now. Take things as they come.
