So, I have insomnia. I don't have severe insomnia. I would say it's mild. The usual I can't fall asleep type. There's also the fact that even after I fall asleep that I do wake up, but I usually forget that I woke up (unless I remember something specific about that time). Or, I wake up and remember it, but it was so short of a moment that it might have not mattered. Thus not being able to remember those sometimes too, or not being able to remember the amount of times that happened and knowing only that it did happen at least once. There's also in-and-out of consciousness. Awake, but still sort of dreaming thing. I don't know how many of you experience that, but it's weird.
Needless to say, I feel drained every fucking day. Sometimes it's worse than other days (like the, "I'm going 20+ mph on my bike down a hill and I could not give a fuck if I crashed right now" tired) and just more or less yawning and feeling hazy.
Anyway, it seems that I have all the kinds except the fall asleep and become wide awake in the middle of the night. That's uncommon for me. I've had that happen and that doesn't happen for me much anymore.
Taken different drugs for it. The one I am taking right now makes me fall asleep about an hour after I take it (That's very nice), but it also makes me EXTREMELY fucking tired every morning and does not keep me asleep. I mean, the amount of tired I was getting when I was first taking it made me crash on my bike multiple times. I would go into a turn and go, "fuck it" and just land on my ass/back/whatever. I'd usually lay there and go, "yep. This sucks. I want a nap." I missed most of my classes last term when taking that pill. I'd take it at midnight and wouldn't get out of bed until 2:00PM or later a lot of the time.
Now I'm taking half the dosage. It still sucks ass. I've missed class a few times because of it, but it's not as bad. It has the side effect of making me gain weight. So, it has at least 1 positive to it... Still, it's almost no better than just having the problem of falling asleep at night. I spend at least the same amount of time trying to sleep or wasting my time on sleep related matters.
Wall of text. One more thing, I didn't tell my doctor that I had trouble staying asleep. I never seem to remember that I have that trouble staying asleep until it's too late because I'm usually not wide awake. The wide awake where I am like, "I am definitely fucking awake and this is hell." It's more like, "huuurrrr I am awake-ish... god fucking damn.zz.zfuck..zzz...eerrrrrr...ZzzzzZzz." x30
TL;DR
I have sleeping problems. I take pills for it now. First one I took didn't work. Second one I am taking makes me crash on my bike. I take half of it now and it still sucks. Waiting on seeing my doctor for the third pill.
