So i think i might have insomnia...it started when i had to leave Alaska to move back to Alabama with my bf. At first i thought it was just excitment and jet lag cause the first night i slept just fine when i got back home to my bf. but the second night....oh god the second night was the start of it... it was like my brain was on super human senses. I could hear everything!!!! And everyone in the house!!!! Now i live in a large house with 6 diffrent teenagers. four of them couples all of…

I like this site cause it's better than facebook. Overnight i'm on cause of lack of natural light. The more people on chat  the better i'd like to see more than 5 cause that is the most i've seen online chat. at once. Bigger the collective the better. I like the idea of the insomniac photo shoot from the feedback i recieved. Introduce yourselves telll the collective(us) ur story. Make is easier for people. 

Thats it. or isnt it not enough?

I'm a photographer from London who also suffers from insomnia. Currently i'm working on a collection about the night life of an Insomniac. If anyone is willing to be photographed for me, it would be greatly appreciated. Message me on here or email if you are interested, and i will explain the process:

Many Thanks

anyone here on drugs that makes it tolerable to pass the hours and have limited fun with peaks ??????

People come on this site to speak their minds. A choice for those who need someone to listen. Bare in mind that no sleep is painfull but there are ways. A larger insomniachat collective would be good. Some sort of enhanced communication but because this site was originally set up with structure, change is only added at various points.

Cal it yours or dont. It doesnt really matter.

*grumpy rant*

Just missed a weeks worth of college and they are on my back about it. Sorry I have been very ill. "thats not good enough". I didn't swear at them I just hung up. They can wait. Its only been one week. Nothing was wrong medically as such, food just made me feel nauseous so I wasn't eating and I was sleeping even less than usual. I have been in bed for a good 4 days.

Apparently its because of stress. Been having relationship problems etc...

Not being able to sleep…

how long have i been awake?

im sat in this place again, my own surreal dream.

i've been here before so many times

the seconds will tick into minutes

and minutes will melt into hours

the hours flow endlessly into days

and the days, the days fold and overlap like waves over sand, over and over

lapping at the shores of my life.

every wave different yet every wave the same

one day, two days, three days

wave after wave,…

Have you ever had a partner that you absolutely thought was the one person that you could not live without?? I have...I started dating this girl Courtney last summer in June, we were the perfect couple for about eight months. I started losing sleep and i became angry at the world and i found myself taking it out on Courtney. I never hit her or touched her in an aggressive way, im not that type of person, i would have let her beat me with a bat and i wouldn't have retaliated. I just became…

Strangely Quiet

       Late at night through early morning is the quietest part of the day.......

   After everyone has settled in their houses, cars quit going by, and even the dogs are quiet, the beautiful lack of sound occurs. At first it takes you a bit to identify what it is that you're not hearing. Once you do, you never again miss…

I had a strange feeling overcome me today.. something I had never felt before. It made me weak, I want to call it love but even that seems wrong. I thought about you.. I really thought about everything. Things that I havent been able to face, now I can see clearly in front of me. I don't like you, everything about you is soo wrong . Yet your face won't leave my mind. I know how you feel, but you don't know how I do. This is for you, and I know you will never find it because I am to scared.…

Trapped, in the square bubble.. waiting for my mind to drift, or maybe to come up with the 'bright idea' that could save my life.

-Though, time can past.. thoughts can sway. I am still here, staring at the same blank wall, still wearing my same blank face.…

The shadow, so complete... They whisper to my insides-- calling me to slumber. Leaving the connection, fringes me. I am cold and I am dark. I’m nothing like you and still you want me.

I love the green in your eyes,…

The feeling of the age, trust. Looming over our heads, do I trust them? Do I trust myself?

I read a good passage about it, how trust doesn’t come easy-

Though what if it never…

The night before school and all through the house not a creature was stiring, not even a mouse. Wait, what was that? Ohh the rest of my family sleeping. Great! Just another thing to remind me its 3 am, and I am restlessly wait for sleep to overtake me. Though just like the night before I sit hear waiting for a broken wish. The only question I can think of: Why me?

 Well new years came around and I wasn't expecting anything but I got a message from a friend that I was invited to a party. I wasn't sure I wanted to go because I'm not much of a party-er ( I know my pic says otherwise) or very social at all but I kinda wanted to get wasted so I went. The party turned out to be a good time and I got drunk as all hell after drinking a whole bottle of my favorite rum (Kraken) and was looking forward to passing out wherever they would let me. I hoped I could…

i was looking forward that because of the booze i would have a good night sleep like i did before when i drank but no it seems my anxiety,insomnia is more stubborn, the worst part is being in bed and rolling around frustrated i am lucky that i don't have to get up early but i think that's the main issue of my anxiety and worsen insomnia because of being unemployed and having nothing to do during the day. I am really considering giving up and try meds, they dont give me real sleep but at…

Hi All,

First of all I wish you a happy new year, with lots of good nights with deep sleep and lovely dreams in you REM sleep, and waking up fully refreshed and armed with lots of energy to face the new day... Or at least little steps in this direction!

And yes, the title line is correct! After trying anything under the sun and giving up on the idea of sleep altogether, I can now actually finally sleep. What changed this? Well, you wouldn't believe it, no pill or changes in…

Isn't sleeping supposed to be the time when we relax and finish off the day? when we close our eyes and leave the day behind to go into lala land? Sometimes i really hate my insomnia and curse it but then i can't help it and i try to think everybody has some issues and there are many insomniacs out there not just me , this relieves me a little but still...i wish they would finally invite the non addictive none REM sleep disturbing , no tolerance building magic pill for people like us,…
