Insomnia is a symptom, rather than a disease, and is characterized by inadequate quantity or quality of sleep. People with insomnia complain of difficulty falling or staying asleep, which results in significant impairment of daytime functioning. Insomnia is categorized as transient (shorter than one week), short-term (one to three weeks) or chronic (longer than three...
its 1:34 am and I can't sleep. I have had trouble sleeping since my mom went into the hospital. I have always sleep issues over the years. I think I have more problems with not being able to sleep because I knew my mom was in the other room sleeping. Now she's in the hospital and not doing well which stresses me out. I have tried all kinds of sleeping pills like somninex, NyQuil sleep, and the latest is somnipure which is more natural but it's obviously not working because I'm still awake. I also took some Valium bot ntoothing helps. I also took some pain pill about an hour ago so hopefully I will be asleep within the hour. Although I don't sleep for long. I sleep for an hour or so then I'm awake at least for two hours or so. I wish I could sleep like I used to but now when ever I have a little stress then I have trouble to sleep for the rest of the night. I hate my life and tired of not being able to sleep, tired of being stressed and lonely. I just wish my mom would start feeling better. Then maybe I will be able to get more slee, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Usually, acute or short term insomnia starts with a stressful event like illness of a loved one. Most all of us will experience this one or more likely many times over the years. These short term episodes usually fade away on their own as the underlying issue is either resolved or we adapt to it in some way.
But what you are expressing -- self-hatred -- goes beyond an acute insomnia episode. It's understandable if you (or any of us really) gets grouchy from lack of sleep. But these sorts of intense negative feelings don't help. Instead, they are like pouring fuel on a fire.
The real answer lies within. It's really not so much the stressful event itself as it is our reaction to the stressful event.
And our reactions? That's something we can control.
If this doesn't start getting better on its own soon, my suggestion would be to seek a counselor. Getting to the true underlying issues is a whole lot better than treating only the symptom with pills, which could lead to an unhealthy dependency.
Good luck.
