I’m An Insomniac

[wannahelp]

Even as a child, I didn’t get enough sleep. Maybe that’s why I’m not as tall as I could have been. Anyway, In addition to not sleeping well to begin with, I have competing medical problems. I have to sleep in a certain position to accommodate one issue and that exacerbates the other issue.
Being sedentary all day doesn’t help. When i was able to exerxise a little, it seemed to help but I am no longer able to exercise. Then, of vourse, there’s usually at least one cat in bed, sleeping too close to me. I know that sleep deprivation is very unhealthy but I can’t force myself to sleep. I don’t want to take medications. There are too many side effects. So, here I am at 130am, typing this post.

Right there with you. I haven't slept well for a year, but I've been dealing with genuine insomnia for a month due to a medication. I've since stopped taking it, but the insomnia hasn't gone away.
