I have always had a history of insomnia coming and going, normally only on nights where I particularly need sleep, e.g. Before exams etc. At school it would always be Sunday nights I couldn't sleep on. I get anxious about it, and normally by about midnight I know I won't be getting to sleep at all.
Since starting my new job in September which I quite enjoy but is quite hard work Sunday nights have again become a problem, as I know I need to get up at 6 for an early shift.
Doctors won't give me sleeping tablets. I understand why, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do about this problem.
Over the last 20 years I have tried all manner of remedies, meditation etc. Essentially if my mind says I need to get to sleep I become anxious and won't sleep. I can do breathing and grounding exercises til the cows come home but it ain't happening. My tired frazzled mind keeps me awake.
One can't call in sick for work because of lack of sleep, and if I ever did this it would just make the pressure worse for the next Sunday night.
So WIBU to order 14 zopiclone online. They cost a lot. 50 quid, but if I only needed one every Sunday night that's essentially 3 months of sleep.
Ethically, legally etc I think I know it's not a good idea, but I'm not sure what else to do?
Perhaps if I did it and then gave them to my DH with instructions for only one a week, that could safeguard me from addiction?
