Boredem and Loneliness

I just found this group and this is my first post. I'll go days without sleep but I can't get up and do anything useful like clean or read a book because my body to too tired. Sleep aids and prescriptions will work for awhile then I build up a tolerance. I have my cats, but I don't know what to do with myself at 3am in the morning......every morning. I'm exhausted

  1. Hi! Welcome to the community. I'm glad you're here ... dealing with insomnia can be so isolating, especially when you don't have others in your life who relate. Do you ever get up out of bed when you can't sleep in the middle of the night? It won't solve the inability to sleep, but maybe doing a hobby in those late-night hours would help that awake time feel less miserable. We're here for you. -Melissa, team member

Have you ever considered cognitive behavioral therapy - insomnia? Here is an article about it that might interest you: https://insomnia.sleep-disorders.net/cbt. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
