First, I'd like to say that insomnia is not something new to me. I've dealt with episodes of it on/off through the years. Despite that, I always worry anyways whenever I'm in the middle of a current episode.
Last night, I went to bed around 11 pm. I had taken something to help me sleep. Well, 12:30 am rolls around, and my frequent urination condition flares up. I am seeing doctors about this already but I just try to manage it the best I can.
Anyways, it seemingly eventually subsides for a bit and so at around 3:15 am, I'm back in bed and while I did lay there for a bit, I think I dozed off till 4:46 or so. I think the strong urge to pee again woke me up. The strong urge I would like to think is a sign I was sleeping. It only gets strong if I hold it.
So, I go back to bed and aside from waiting to fall asleep, I don't remember anything till 6:41, with another strong urge to pee. Again, I have a urinary issue I'm trying to sort out so that's why I'm peeing so much at night. Apparently, it wakes me up too. (Assuming I am sleeping that is.)
Does this sound to you like I'm sleeping to you guys? If I wasn't sleeping, that means I'd have been up since 9 am on Saturday. (35 hours as of this posting. My eyes have felt a little irritated and I have this light pressure around my head but I seem awake, alert, etc.
The pressure in my head is concerning. I've been having it each of the past few days as well as today. Obviously, I must have been sleeping some during some of those nights but yet, the pressure is still there regardless. I don't understand. I really hope I'm sleeping and that I'm just worrying over nothing.
