How much sleep do you get?

[tabycat]

I go through my periods of insomnia . . . like now. I slept 30 mins last night woohoo I'm so tired. My problem is being able to stop thinking and fall asleep . . . then I seem to wake up a lot as well (usually dream related). Usually on the 3rd day of my insomnia I lose it and start talking and don't make much sense. I need sleep! This is actually my 3rd day of dealing with very little sleep. In past three days I've had maybe 6 hours of sleep.

Otay I'm gonna try and sleep . . . yea right!

Sleep! What is this sleep? I think I read about it once. In some movie credits. *Hits the fast forward button*

Try some thinking suppressant aka alchohol(j/k). I have the same problem, where I can't seem to find the off switch for thinking. I tried some meditations and that worked only to a point, however, when i was finished meditating all the "thinking noise" goes right back to where it left off!

I have been so Lamed out lately. I fall a sleep on the couch at about 10:00-11:-- pm...without even realizing I am doing it. Then I wake up at 6:30. If I do not unintentionally fall asleep, then I will go to bed at about 12-1:30 and wake at 6:30....usually does the trick for me. The last few nites have been rough with my tooth ache keeping me up. (I go in on Thurs for that)

Yea I used to meditate and I get soooo relaxed and almost as soon as I'd be relaxed enough to fall asleep boom there were the thoughts again . . . stupid thoughts like what am I gonna eat, wear, do blah blah, I can't believe he did or said. It's very annoying!

I finally crashed Sunday and I slept forever it seems . . . still don't feel well rested though.

I get about 9 hrs of sleep every night when I was in college my psychiatry teacher said that the average person should try to get 8 hrs of sleep a night.

Sleeping forever sounds really good about now, but thats because I've been sleep deprived for the last three days!
