Are there any insomniacs in the house tonight? I don't want to feel like I am the only one here who has problems with my brain shutting down. Its been a problem for me for a few years now and I guess the older I get the less sleep I need! Can anyone relate with me here?

Oh there are a lot of them... It's not even 11pm here so I don't think I count...

Its almost 2am and I am not even sleep yet!! :(

Sleepy*

I guess our usual night owls went to bed...

Yep I guess so..LOL

This is funny..There are people looking at this..So we know damn well they are awake..But not saying nothing!! Whats up with that crap?? LOL

The Insomniacs Club Of America - i'm not only a member,i'm the president!

People look all the time but don't always post... See JT is an insomniac and the President...

Welcome to the Insonmiac Club..I represent JT my President of this Up all night club!! LOL

Actually its okay if they don't post!! I look at different forums also and don't always post!! I am in between here and my facebook page anyway! I got my own page over there I am running!! Keeps me busy when I cannot sleep at night.

if you think it's bad now,wait a couple of hours and you'll think this place needs life support!

Oh really!! Thanks for the warning JT!! I usually hit the bed about 4am or 5am..Depends!! It still sucks though being up this late at night and not being able to go to bed and when I do go to bed..I toss and turn so I end up getting back up!!!

that's why i don't bother trying to go to bed at night because i know i'll end up wasting several hours by just tossing and turning,so i just go ahead and get on here instead

Yep I been a night owl for many years! But just got insomnia here I think like 3yrs ago! I guess its my lifestyle also..Many years of partying and going out on the weekends and listening to music!! Kind of got used to those late night hours! But even then I was able to come home and go right to bed! Not anymore!! My partying days are over with but I do go listen to music quite a bit..its a part of my life! So this is why I am a night owl!

mine started 15 years ago when i was 15.started staying up til about midnight-1 am and over the years it started getting later and later,now i'm not in bed til about 10 am or so.i never have been a partier,so i don't know why i'm this way

I go through unexplainable bouts of insomnia. Sometimes I can finger a stress or problem that causes it but often I can't, those are the ones that really bother me. I hate the tossing and turning, watching the clock to see how much I could get before work if I GO TO SLEEP NOW! This has been happening to me for many, many years yet I still fight just giving in and getting up to read, watch tv, come on here...slow learner I guess or just know that if I do any of those things there is no chance of falling to sleep.

Last night was bad, glad I had today off but gosh am I already tired. Very busy day, got a lot done so that feels good but now I could just sleep only I'd be awake at 10pm EST and done for the night...it is such a problem!

My insomnia started when I was in second grade, when I discovered the wonders of prime time late night television. Word to my fellow insomniacs.

Its after 5am and I am still awake! Lastnight when I posted this it was earlier but still didn't get to bed til 5am! This is whats its been like lately. I am not stressed and nothing is bothering me that would keep me awake!! I am tired and my body is feeling it but my brain just doesn't want to slow down!
