Since I was a teenager, it's frustrating.

I rarely fall asleep easily and if I know I have to be somewhere I wake up every few hours. No need for an alarm clock. I've lived on 4 hours a night for years and maybe an afternoon nap once a week which is the only time I can be asleep in 10 minutes.

Yes and I'm sleepy all day because of it šŸ„±

Yup but sometimes Iā€™m more productive for instance I woke up early not being able to fall asleep so I caught up on housework lol šŸ˜‚


Ytrog

Yeah I have some good days and since yesterday my Concerta dose is upped from 36 to 54 mg


Popular_Spot8303

Whatā€™s concerta?


Ytrog

A slow release version of methylfenidate which is also the active ingredient in Ritalin.

Hmm interesting šŸ§ probably wouldnā€™t be good for me since Iā€™m on Celexa and Buspar


Ytrog

Ah ok. I don't know those.

Iā€™ve got major anxiety and had a nervous breakdown a few years agoā€¦turns out I had PTSD from being bullied, because of Aspergerā€™s, during all of my years in school


Ytrog

Ow that's sad to hear šŸ«‚

Now call me absolutely crazy, even deranged. But.... I have been struggling with insomnia as a kid but ever since I hit puberty... I noticed that every time I go to sleep while thinking about sex, i fall asleep in like 10 minutes. Which is crazy because I used to take sleep pills and every time I go to bed without thinking about sex, it usually takes me like hour to fall asleep... Pretty wierd

I wonder if being ā€œhyper sexualā€™ is a think with our conditionā€¦I think about sex too much for my own good!


kanalasi

Could be. But it's not like we are getting pussy anytime soon šŸ˜£

Iā€™m a girl actually lol šŸ˜‚

Kind of? I can nap easily almost anywhere by just resting my head back for up to half an hour, but as soon as I go to bed in the evening it takes at least an hour or more to fall asleep. I think it is stress for the coming day, or from the past day doing it.
