I suffer from this from time to time and have tried various methods to help manage it. Including reading some boring forums..

I wondered if anyone who currently or previously has similar sleep issues would like to share tips that have worked..

as a last resort I may have to book into

Nurse Ratshit's in the hope she can administer her magic pills!!!

I'd love to give you a cure but seeing as I am replying to you at this ungodly hour then I am suffering from it tonight as well.

I know I'm tired but but just can't sleep!

Help!

I have chronic clinical insomnia, can go days without any sleep at all, been like this for 20+ years. Usually end up doing my ironing and housework at 4am.

I've heard that Ratshit is the fab equivalent of Freddie Kreuger (but much uglier), so you are probably better off staying awake!!

9 days on 2 hrs sleep is my current running total. Haven't actually bothered going to bed since a week past Sunday!!

No "blue light" 2 hrs before bed time (ie laptop, phone), No caffeine after 7pm, carbs make you sleepy and can set off the serotonin hormone which aids sleep. Make sure your room is completely dark and quiet. (I can't even bear my watch ticking).

Failing that, get pissed and wake up on Friday lol x

I'm liking the last one best. Maybe a liquid lunch seeing as its my day off tomorrow might do the trick

I have a reverse insomnia. No problem getting to sleep. But once awake that's it I'm awake. Doesn't matter if its an hour or 5 hours. Have learned to live with it

What they mean is you have to have finished the things you were doing that day or at least put them mentaly aside and agree to returnto them later before your brain will let itself rest and allow you to sleep
