So I haven't been sleeping much for about....

3 years and 4 months now... I used to have nightmares but after a not too considerable time stopped dreaming entirely.
Basically, my query is this: does anybody have any experience with insomnia problems? Or even anything that helps improve alertness and/or memory? Preferably not something too BLTC-ey, as I've tried many things in that vein.
I started seeing a therapist last week, but it looks like it'll be slow-goings, and the shit is hella expensive.
If any of you know anything about the subject I'd appreciate it. At this point I'd settle for lulzy stories as well, I guess.
Much obliged,
TBZ

I hate insomnia!
My best bet: take melatonin supplements. The main reason why you cannot sleep (IMO) is because you are lacking Melatonin. Do you leave your light on often when you sleep? Have you forced yourself to stay awake for any reason? when were the first signs did you think you had insomnia?
There are melatonin supplements out there. Some are synthetically made, which are good. Some are from animal bi-products. That means, they took a brain, and smashed it up to extract melatonin. If you are not sure what melatonin is, i guess i'll explain more if you are interested, or you can look it up

Not This

Damn... will my skin get darker too? Don't wanna git adult onset Re-vitaligo hahaha... Also, don't melatonin supplements (mb it's just injections?) give you erections?
I have in the past stayed up for school assignments... But mostly it's not intentional. A lot of time I can't actually fall asleep for 1-2 hrs... And I NEVER sleep over six hrs; it might be worth noting I kind of go through phases where the max I can get is minimal (usually 2-3 hrs), and 5-6 hrs is what I consider 'good' sleep.
I first noticed I couldn't sleep more than a few hrs a night if at all January 3 years ago. Oh well.
That means it's working.
Melatonin is a hormone produced in the body that helps start the REM cycle in your sleep. REM cycle is the most important sleep cycle in the body as it does a lot of things that deal with growth, repair, and function of immune systems, muscles, and other things.
On a side note, yes, sleeping pills are habit forming, and often skip the rem cycle because it just knocks you out. Melatonin supplements are not habit forming, and it allows natural sleep to occur.
The reason we need 8 hours of sleep is because the brain needs to create melatonin to start the REM sleep cycle. What i am saying is, if you can get enough melatonin for your body, you only need about 4 hours of sleep (estimating) to feel fine the next day. Hence, pure melatonin supplements are very good.
lol..it does not turn your skin brown, and i don't know about the erection thing:rolleyes: lol either way when i take melatonin..i wake up with an erection..sometimes i don't. Maybe it's dependant on the dream..who knows
Hahaha I only ask cuz a long time ago I read that before Viagra, the only option for ED treatment was melatonin injections.... And, fyi, Viagra was originally conceptualized to help people's blood flow... ie in hiking high altitude n whatnot... It was only once trials began they learned of its other abilities as a boner-pill... Much to the joy of their shareholders I'm sure.
Can you get Melatonin OTC? If not, I'll have to get a hold of my doctor.....
Once again, thanks for all the helpful advice.
1) It is only pure melatonin (preferrably synthetic melatonin(and not made from animal bi-product); no other chemicals are necessary)
2) take it right when you go to sleep. Put it under your toungue so it gets absorbed faster into the blood stream.
Thank you for sharing your situation
Gotcha... I'll have a buddy hit me w a hammer.
It's a compromise if you ask me. I tried my best to sleep early but it just doesn't work. I came to terms with it and now I am trying to work everything around it. FUCK drugs they don't work me. REM HERE I COME!
