They just dont understand!

The most frustrating thing people say to me when im struggling to sleep is just to relax! Oh yes like i haven't done that already and dont use your phone as much but for some reason if i keep busy im more likely to fall asleep as daft as it sounds i can be watching tv and next you know im asleep! if you don't have the issue yourself its hard to comment to others and if anything just learn to listen what they are saying instead of giving you stupid opinions, sorry it just frustrates me!

I have suffered with insomnia for years. Recently downloaded Calm app and it has helped. When I can’t sleep I listen to one of the many stories on there. I have just accepted I don’t need a lot of sleep but I do need quality sleep!

Those of us who suffer from never getting a full nights sleep don't understand why this is happening to us. We have to stop expecting outsiders to understand us. They never suffered like we do with exhaustion.

How could people understand when we don't understand what's happening to us?
