So with the problems I am having in my general life. (There are a lot) I don't sleep much.. I try to fall asleep at night and end up not falling asleep till 2am. I toss and turn in bed restless, sometimes I end up staying up night. I have tried melatonin in order to attempt a better sleep but even with that I am wide awake for hours... I can go 3 days on about 4 hours of sleep, and I don't think that is healthy. I feel the bags under my eyes which you would think that meant I was tired. My skin is starting to look aged and I am only 27. I am so restless, I don't know what to do.

I have these issues...but, not often. I wish I could give you some advice. Have you been checked for sleep apnea?

BTW, this group us not very active at this time. You might consider looking into other groups.

I have been on sleeping pills from the doctor, but I woke up in the middle of the night screaming about my old job, and early into my relationship with my boyfriend I was pretty sure I was gonna lose him because I scared the hell out of him everytime I screamed in my sleep. My old roomates (4 in one room) all said I mumbled a lot too and said crazy things in my sleep in outbursts. So I stopped taking the sleeping pills, because I also found it really hard to get up for work in the morning. plus the metalic taste from the pills was disgusting. I don't have sleep apnea just massive depression, and for some reason it wont allow me to sleep

I find relaxation before bed really helpful. Some things to look up on YouTube: Prgressive Muscle relaxation and guided imagery relaxation. Super helpful and the more you do it the more benefits you get out of it. I find that if I have done relaxation techniques before bed I wake up less feeling anxious or with something on my mind. Another good one is the app calm, there are a few free relaxing adult bedtime stories, which I find incredibly useful! I also recommend looking up sleep hygiene tips

I have even tried monotone audio books, and they don't bore me enough to fall asleep

I'm sorry you're having such a tough time sleeping. I don't know if either of these suggestions will help you, but have you considered the supplement, L-Theanine? It has a calming effect and was the only thing that helped me sleep during a difficult year when I was dealing with depression and anxiety. Additionally, I find Bob Ross's "The Joy of Painting" videos to be extremely relaxing. It only takes a few minutes of listening to his voice and I'm out. : ) They are available on Amazon and YouTube, as well as DVD.

Hope you find something that works for you!

See the Amazon delivery guy is literally prob the only person I have socialized with in months haha, he has gotten to know me seeing we see each other almost daily lol. Im not sure if hes scared of me or not, maybe I should offer him cookies haha. I haven't actually thought to use that. My neighbour next door is a painter, I'll call her over and she can teach me how to paint, next thing I know I will be passed out on the floor :P

LOL...whatever works! : )

I was VERY wrong about this being a "dead" group. It seems to be very much alive.v

Just a few suggestions:
I once heard that your dreams come from your unconscious mind trying to figure out problems left from your conscious mind. So, trying to work on your issues during awake hours might help. It will probably take a few sessions to have it start helping. Try more than 10 before giving up.

I wish my problems weren't so deep, Its hard to solve them at the moment unfortunately.

So mad at Xfinity! They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today! Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...

I know this is stupid, but after not being able to find a job after graduation for almost two years, I ended up just taking an online teaching job because I couldn't find anything in my field. I was trying to get out of teaching and I feel so devastated. I felt this crushing feeling when I signed the paperwork and when I was in the meetings. I know that sounds so dramatic but it is how I felt. It...
