I literally can’t sleep at night, does anyone else have this problem?
does anyone else have issues with sleeping at night? Ever since I was very young, like as long as I can remember I've had a hard time falling asleep at night, then once I was around 8 I started staying awake until 4 am on school days and sleeping once I got home then repeating the cycle. Once I was 10 I was homeschooled so I could stay up all night until sunrise and go to sleep at sunrise without it affecting anything. I did that from ages 10-15 with probably 20 nights i was able to sleep at night. When I was 16 it was better since I started drinking myself to sleep and that's the only thing that's helped me sleep at night Even then I'd usually stay up all night, sometimes I'd
stay up for days since I wouldn't have time to sleep
that day, and I'd be too nervous to sleep at night for some reason. It's been years and I still have this issue, I'm physically tired but I can't fall asleep right now. I have no problem falling asleep during the day though which doesn't make sense. Like I've never had anything bad happen to me at nighttime, I've never dealt with any break ins, ghost issues lmao, or anything to make me feel this anxious about sleeping when it's dark out. When I sleep with someone else home with me it's better but it still doesn't help a lot of the time. I'm not scared of the dark, or of anyone hurting me in my sleep so i don't understand why it stresses me out SO much to sleep when it's dark. I was able to fix my sleep schedule about a month ago then I got sick and slept alot for a week and it fucked it all up and I've been trying my to fix it for the last week. I've tried tons of prescription and over the counter sleeping medications but they don't work on me. Drinking is the only thing that helps sometimes but that's stupid to do Does anyone else have this issue? I've been trying to sleep for hours and I keep getting more anxious and less tired the longer I try.
Also I’m on anxiety medication and I don’t plan on taking any other type of medication since they don’t work for me, I’ve tried literally every possible thing from laying in bed for hours, watching boring things, and the staying up to hopefully be tired the next night. I’m exhausted and this is really affecting my life now. Does anyone else have this??
