Insomnia - Been Awake for 29 Hours

4 replies

Eeyoresstickhouse · 29/05/2020 03:00

I have been awake now for 29 hours and I just want to fucking sleep!

I have a lot going on stress wise (don't we all!) And my eyes are so tired, but I just cannot get to sleep.

Any tips to help me get off. I will only get till about 6am anyway when my toddler wakes up for the day. Or do I just push on through as I will be tired with about 3 hours sleep than no sleep.

I've been through bouts of insomnia (my longest was 47 hours awake) unfortunately the only thing that helped was prescribed sleeping tablets for a short period until my sleep regulated.

(Also get off your phone its stimulating you to stay awake longer)

I find watching TV or listening to radio helps me sleep as my mind is distracted by the noise. Good luck.

I got 3 hours exactly before my toddler woke me up. 😥 I will have to power on through till tonight now as she does not nap in the daytime and hope I can get to sleep tonight.
