Have you ever had a night where you can't sleep much? Or even at all?

I've been having loads recently :( And it's not i don't try. I can be laid in bed hours before deciding that it's not working.

-

Wondered how many days can you have with little to no sleep before it becomes dangerous?

Not saying im close to that, just curious. And for the main topic..

In the time you can't sleep, what do you do?

-

I tend to either watch dvds, been mainly Lost recently. Or play some games? For some reason RPG's at night?

Or apparantly post on here...

How about you all? :)

Yeah my immediate thoughts were, because its been worse recently, that would be stress or something? But right now, my lifes quite calm. And i've never been an early sleeper, just how i am now i guess.

I'm the type that starts worrying about not sleeping when I can't sleep, so when it happens I start getting frustrated with myself on why I haven't fallen asleep yet. That helps :P

Honestly, I can't remember the last time I had more than 3 hours of sleep in one night.

Well, not counting the times when I pass out when my insomnia gets really horrible.

I've never suffered from insomnia, thankfully. But I lead a very laid back lifestyle, I cross a bridge when I come to it. I just put everything out of mind until it is time to deal with them. Essentially, to quote a great song, "Don't worry, be happy".

Last year (can't remember the date) around Jan-August. My brother had to get some surgery (not plastic) on his nose. So he was snoring greatly. I really couldn't get to sleep. The latest I got to sleep was around 9AM.

I had crazy insomnia when I was 15. Or maybe it was 14. Regardless, I could only fall asleep at, like, 2-6 AM, regardless of how I had slept the previous night. For some reason, I felt perfectly awake and alert regardless of how little I had slept. I kept that up for a while, I'm not sure where it began or ended.

I've had insomnia off and on as long as I can remember.(and I can remember a long way) On a usual day I'm lucky to get six hours sleep.

Oh yes, way too many nights of mine have been like that. I mostly just sit in bed and give a big "**** you" to the chemicals or whatever it is in my brain that are preventing me from sleeping. Longest bout of insomnia I've had lasted 5-6 days. :(

Bajeezus. I feel like garbage if I don't get any sleep. I still typically don't fall asleep during the day, though.

It was not fun. The best/worst it gets for me is simply just feeling like **** and keeping my eyes closed as much as possible, hoping that I'll get at least a few minutes of sleep eventually

I go through waves. Friday night through Tuesday night I only sleep about 4 hours each, but Wednesday and Thursday I sleep almost 10 hours each

I used to have a sleep problem when I was a child. Turned out it was stress. Get something off your mind and you will be fine

There are many nights where I take a while to fall asleep. It probably takes me ATLEAST 20 minutes to fall asleep. Hell, there have been some occasions where it may have taken me 1-2 hours to sleep (doesn't happen very often at all though). But I have a very active and interesting imagination, so I can entertain myself when I am in bed with my mind until I fall asleep.

The worst is when trying to sleep on Christmas Eve night, though! :x

Usually I just don't think about falling asleep. It usually works for me. Another could be trying to fully exhaust yourself while you're awake. It makes sleeping feel all the more amazing.

No, my problem seems to be waking up at a certain time and not being able to go back to sleep again. Like, if I went to sleep at 02:00, I would wake up at 07:00 and no matter how tired or sleepy I am, I cant' go back to sleep. The past week or so has been much better though.

Yah, it sucks, makes the next day pretty hellish. Ugh...on Sunday I took a Benadryl before bed, didn't get to sleep it off Monday, felt like crap the rest of the day. But luckily I do tend to sleep decent most nights.

Not really. When I stay up late or not at all it is usually not because I have no choice.

I had trouble sleeping too but that was because of the pain in my foot, it's fine now. Here's a suggestion. physically exhaust yourself before going to sleep. it will feel like heaven.
