Inability to Sleep / Insomnia

I used to work nights and then go to uni.. great combo.

I stuck that curtain lining 'blackout' material up over my window.. completely covered the bastard and it stayed that while for a year or so while I had the night job.

Turn off phones and shit. I'd get calls just after going to bed and wake up panicking with no idea what time it was or what I should be doing. Fucking awesome. At least I don't need lots of sleep.

I have to be up in three hours but have fucking tinnutius in my ear. Fml.

I have tinnitus as a result of being in a band and clubbing and working with sound every day. Weird thing is that we have done tests with other people who don't have tinnitus and I can still hear frequencies higher than they can. Doesn't figure. Still every night my head hits the pillow and I can hear that super high pitched ringing. If I can't sleep, sometimes putting a radio on very quietly so I can't hear the words helps mask the outside world. Having kids that wake up at 6.30 every morning has helped. It catches up with you!

Doesnt work if I have to take out my hearing aid to go to sleep, and get tinnitus.

No, Lileth, I know your hearing problems are quite severe. Not being able to sleep must be torture. I'm not in a position to offer advice. I hope you are well otherwise though!

Im not too bad, still suffer moments of anxiety which interrupts my sleeping patterns. Was in tears to my mum at 5am this morning :/ then conked out until 5pm :S

I can't sleep, my room's too hot, despite having the window wide open. And i haz exams tomorrow. FML

I know I can totaly live off of 1.5-2.5 hours a night, never get more then 4 but I'm Hosting which means on my nights I'm lucky to get off at 4, I've been drinking, I probably have to go to an after party. Last two nights finished work between 4 and 5 am, got home between 9 and 11 am. once the suns up, no sleeping. I also have a skylight, no way to black it out.

And I'm on my photo hustle all day.

Got tonight off and there is nothing i have to go to. so Its going to be in bed by 10:30, then no sleep all weekend, sleep monday, work tues, wed, thurs, fri nights.

Can't really complain as I get paid to hang out with cool people and cash money is cash money but damn sleep is a nice thing.

evening.

Hey

I really need to have been in bed by now. Only 1 am... exhausted.... still working

im going to be fucked today... been up since 3 cause my pc rebooted and i couldnt get my head down.

some nights, when the sleep won't come, i lie here and imagine what i could be doing with my time rather than trying to fall asleep. tonight, i've been thinking that maybe the ceilings of my flat need painting.

Did you end up doing it?

Not insomnia,
night shift, one nearly over another three to go.
