this is super new for me… within the past week or so, about every night I get maybe 5 hours of sleep… I’m used to sleeping 8-10 a night and having no choice but needing a nap throughout the day as well… I haven’t been sleeping good, nor have I even been really feeling tired.
I should be sleeping right now, 3:41 am and I need to be up in the morning to watch my 3 year old nephew all day long. that’s gonna ware me out, and maybe I can get a good nights sleep tomorrow.
also I must add, I realize 5 hours a night is luxurious to some, but for me it’s really odd.
If it is not caused by stress and physical reason, then it is caused by mental illness.
its been the opposite for me
sleep from 2-1
but last night i slept from 10 to 6 which was healthier

Is there a reason for why you’re having trouble sleeping at night? 
I’m not even struggling to fall asleep, I just feel like it’s not necessary… I had to make myself go to bed last night at like 5am bc I had to get up early, ended up getting up at 8… I just took like a 2 hour nap tho and I feel better
Hmm. I’ve felt like this before but that was during my manic phases. I felt as if I didn’t need sleep or else it would interrupt my work. I sometimes have to force myself as well. Have your tried different techniques to make yourself go to sleep easier? I suggest reading before bed, drinking camomile tea, and if everything else fails, melatonin.
melatonin makes me feel really groggy and weird the next day, but if I’m having problems falling asleep I just count and I hardly ever make it to 50… it’s not the falling asleep though, it’s the not feeling the need for it. which is weird bc I used to get so tired if I didn’t get enough sleep
Ah I see. I wish you all the best with this problem! I’m hopeful it won’t last long. You’re not alone. I’m currently being forced to rest and sleep due to some physical damage I’ve done to myself.
