Wasn't late for work, but did leave early. Now trying to figure out what I want to do for 3 days.

Failing to sleep, suffering ptsd flashbacks from the person who abused me, and stress eating trying to cope.

Doing really stupid things that are messing up my sleep schedule.

did u try not making the bad life choices?

Now why didn't I think of that?

 

Insomnia and a need (yes, need) for gaming is hell for a regular life.

I wish it was that easy.

idk thankfully i never had sleep issues, and my tactic is to just, stop playing games at 20:00, and by 22:00 i'm in bed (after i eat and after i shower tho)

i find that being consistent is what worked for me anyway, i'm not sure how else to get some normal sleep otherwise

I've tried the whole "be consistent" thing, and it works for about 2-3 weeks at best. After that, the "roll around" starts.

 

The roll around is what I call my sleep schedule falling over into a nocturnal schedule. It's like if you're trying to balance a ball with a straw glued to the side, with a string running through it, with the ball on top. Sometimes you can get it to stay up top for a while, but it always reverts to hanging instead.

idk, sadly i don't have any good advice, and doctors are expensive so i guess you are just kinda stuck with it, and u have to figure out something which works for u

Even worse, I've tried medication, and it just artificially forces the issue, and then the roll around happens fast, hard, and stays for a longer period, and no meds help for a while when that happens.

 

I've lost so many jobs to this issue...

Waking up.

 

I skipped a night of sleep, knowing it would be really bad for me to do, but at least I managed to time it right to wake up now.

but in my own experience, staying up for 24 hours or more, is like hell on earth for me, i don't wish it on anybody, it's miserable

I have medication-related issues. At least 2 of them say I need to sleep a full 8 hours each night, or it'll mess with the meds.

that sucks - i mean the most i can sleep for is 7 max, more and i just feel like a truck puked on me

 

I get the best results from 7.25-7.5 hours, but there's no way to get my alarm to reliably time that, because I don't fall asleep fast when going to bed.

ah don't get me wrong, i'm mostly exhausted half the time, so i wouldn't exactly call it "natural" lol

 

so like, i would totally play a game to relax, but... i feel SO TIRED and i'd rather just, crash into my bed, and i feel like i'm better off just playing games the next day when i'm not a broken wreck

Still...

 

Anyways, back on topic... Getting ready to take a shower.
