Becca95 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 For some reason I am almost stopping myself from getting enough sleep and Im not entirely sure why. I had 4 hours sleep last night, 5 the night before and right now I am constantly yawning and almost falling asleep whilst trying to do coursework, but I am already thinking when I go to bed in a minute, I'll sit up for a while doing this and that even though I'm completely exhausted etc. I love sleep but for some reason I feel like I shouldn't sleep. It's hard to explain. Sorry if this didn't make sense, just wondering if anyone else knows what Im going on about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino Vox Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Think I can relate, does ít feel like your thoughts are going by quickly? Unable to focus on a task, think ýouve got loads to get done but cant think? I've found trying to read a book difficult when like this. Drawing is good, anything creative seems to calm things down. A favourite movie or music to chill. How about setting a schedule for studying, house chores, sleep ect till you get into a comfortable routine? You'll be over-tired and in need of a decent sleep. Set yourself a time limit for your studies and a time for heading to bed, if you think you need to get up to do something, write it down to remind you to do it tomorrow. Hopefully you'll get a good nights sleep 2night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becca95 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hi Domino Vox, Thank you for responding. I think thats part of the problem but it feels more to me that I just don't want to go to sleep no matter what and almost like I shouldn't? I find coursework very hard to do due to lack of focus and concentration, like you with trying to read a book. I find it very frustrating and feel very dumb. It takes me hours to type just one paragraph and thats if Im lucky and having a good day. I've had to result to asking for extensions for my work. I tend to listen to music or draw when sitting in bed, helps to pass the time. I've been told by my MH doctor I need to get a sleeping routine in place but I just feel compulsed to staying up. Thank you again, and hope you sleep well too. I've just read your post and thought it was interesting as I was taking sertraline, I take propanalol every now and then when needed and now I'm on fluoxetine..
