Loneliness Support Group
Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any...
I am so tired of night after night of not sleeping and no one to talk to. I feel alone in a sleeping world. I get to see the sun go down and the sun come up. And the moon in between. I feel like I am in the christmas story "not a creature was stirring" lol One day ends and another comes in, the clock ticks away and time drags during this time and flies during the day---where is the sandman? Maybe, Iam really a vampire without fangs and the need for blood--lol And I begin another day so I guess thats good.
back around within a short time.
Anyways, when she has to go to doctor appointments etc., she has to wean herself into daylight hours. Why would a person be able to go to sleep at 10pm, when you just woke up at 6pm?
Make yourself stay up or get up a few hours earlier or later. It really isn't any different then when having jet lag and making yourself adjust. You may feel disoriented and sickly because of disrupting your sleep patterns. But, it is doable.
My friend has chronic fatigue and insists it is impossible. I have seen her do it over and over when she wanted to be awake during the day, or had to because of her life situation. I concluded she decided it was a symptom to validate her illness and nothing would change her mind.
We can talk ourselves into the positive, as well as the negative. It just depends on what mind set we have chosen to take.
Hope to see you soon...during the daytime! Hugs.
I like being up at 4-5 am because it is quiet in the house and I have time to myself. Of course I am tired by 8pm.
There can be many factors for unusual sleep patterns. It's a matter of figuring out why you can not get to sleep at night. A medication may make a person hyper. It can be keeping you awake based on the time taken. Look up side effects on anything you take. I do not take my multiple vitamin late, as it gives me an energy boost. Exercising late can get your body going and prevent sleep.
Being a mother, I lose sleep just worrying about my kids. We are caregivers and want everyone home and safe in bed. Often I go with only 4 hours of sleep a night.
An empty nest makes it hard to be awake when there is no one there anymore. At night it is easier to think everyone is still there sleeping in their beds. I am in that in between stage now in my life.
I am sure loneliness keeps many people awake surfing the internet for a friend. That can be addictive. I settle down and watch something on television. It helps to take my mind off my troubles and it is easier to fall asleep.
