Only a few minutes into 2021 and I can already tell that it's going to be as ****, if not more so than the year(s) that preceded it.

What post/reply was it? I try to be funny/humourous from time to time, and contrary to popular belief one of my favourite things to do is laugh, but I don't often manage the first, and the latter (sadly) has become increasingly rare as each day has passed over the years.

Sid was talking bout the manu v bitters game...
"What happens when the nonexistent bumps against the decrepit?"

You replied... It means I've not been paying attention and I've walked into the full length mirror again

After the last 2 years and a bit of reading I now put sleep ahead of both diet and exercise.
A tip given is to get up if youre restless in bed, then do some cleaning task or sorting task and that can help getting to sleep. Few breathing techniques too.
But if it's really off, it's not likely to do a lot for you.

Watching tv/similar can stimulate the brain, so switch off all items. Might help. Good luck. Try reading something boring?

Managed a few hours last night, and had a weird dream.... same as the night before to be honest

Considering i've had 3 hours sleep roughly in about 4 days i'm not doing to bad...

I just don't understand it, i've never had a problem, nothing has changed in my life at all, recently it's very strange, hopefully tonights the night getting a dirty takeaway, going to watch some stuff then switch off, and hopefully sleep until the noon or something, i wouldn't mind sleeping all day to be honest.

I'll leave that for you

I'm being covid-secure you know?

At least i'd probably sleep if I caught that..... ok not thing to joke about..

Well that takes care of the last ten months. What about the other 10-20 years?

P.S. I know how bad/serious sleep issues can be. A few years back I went FIVE days without sleep, which had/has serious implications when it comes to at least six of my conditions, including the rarest/most debilitating, and one of the most dangerous mobility/life threatening.

[Kev0909]

Yeah that must of sucked bigtime..

I'm lucky in a way I guess, but I just want to do the most natural thing a person can do, apart from going the toilet.... it's all I ask for...

It's amazing how much it effects you, i had plans to do things this week but instead i'm here moaning hardly being able to keep my eyes open / concentrate, yet I still can't sleep, how is that possible?

Like I said this was suddenly aswell started 4 nights ago for no apparent reason?!?!

Can't even play games without smashing my keyboard because i'm shit due to reaction speed, all i want to do is eat and sleep (the later part I can't!!)..... fed up

[RedNoodle]

I know what you mean about just wanting to do 'natural' things. Unfortunately I have issues with every single one of them.

The reason you might not be able to sleep could be for numerous reasons. Once you start not being able to sleep you can end up trying to force the issue, which just makes things worse. If you are not comfortable/are in pain it can make getting to sleep a nightmare, and then you have any kind of mental health issues such as anxiety, which can provide a whole new level of hell.

What you could try is a combination of a walk, followed by a hot bath/shower, a couple of painkillers, and then into a 'cool' bed whilst listening to something soothing or 'unexciting' e.g. a podcast or YouTube video about quantum mechanics. It doesn't always work (I can't doing the walking bit or have a bath) but it's worth a shot.

As for the games and your reaction speed, I know exactly what you are on about. I have a similar issue. One of my medications does the same to me and infuriates me as a game I play (one where I am number one in the world) requires you to do things (notably one particular level) in a certain time, and this loss of reaction speed/cognitive functioning ends up with me repeatedly starting this one level over and over again.
