There is no hope is there?

I try to manage the frustration of not sleeping but it gets hard.

I have to stay up at least 2 nights and 3 days to get 1 night of sleep.
and I mean 4-7 hrs if I'm lucky.

I figured out why this forum doesnt move much.
We are all too freakin tired!!!

That and some say insomniacs consorting with insomniacs isn't that productive. But yes. I'm frustrated and suffering too. Feel like I've tried everything I can. Time running out.

" insomniacs consorting with insomniacs isn't that productive"

Now thats funny!

Now that I think about, that applies to a lot of forums.

I could start a Happy/Sad forum,
so that happy people could help sad people.

But then the happy people would stop coming around because they dont want to be sad!

The mysteries of life.

The way this forum helps me is that I at least know I am not along. And that's something very valuable and meaningful for me. For many years I felt there are almost no people like me. It seemed that everyone can sleep, but not me. Hearing other people's stories gave me some piece of mind and even inspiration. I am here not to get some unique recipe for insomnia. I am here to learn how to survive and enjoy the life on a little sleep. And that's enough, I am not expecting more than that as anyway there is no magic pill or fast cure for this disorder.

I certainly agree as well. Just when you may think you have a handle on it- it comes back to give you some more beatings! We are definitely not alone. It's hard to believe that millions of people are suffering as we speak!!
