Kinharia Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 How do I know if I am insomniac? I used to sleep at 11pm but since I was discharged from hospital I've been staying up to 3am - 4am. Waking at 11am - 1pm and repeating. Is this healthy, should I try and fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcastic Coffeecup Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) If it's a repeating pattern, it's not usually insomnia. Just poor sleep schedule. That said Paradoxical insomnia is a thing, but that doesn't sound like it. Edited January 14, 2016 by Sarcastic Coffeecup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarnarus Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 its 3am here right now and this is literally what happens to me all the time, if i stay up early in the morning juuuust once it can fuck my entire pattern up, its just a case of fixing it right, sometimes my sleep pattern goes backwards and im going to sleep at 10-11am just make sure it doesnt get to that point because then your only option is to stay up and loop around to like 9 at night and believe me..that bed is one seductive bastard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxon Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I was awake until 04:00 this morning, because I have just handed in a large project and am super-worried about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallium Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I went to bed at 10:30 just about last night...but didnt get to sleep until around 1:30. Not really insomnia since I do eventually get to sleep...but for whatever reason it often takes me much longer than it should, or so it feels like. People fall asleep within the first few minutes but it takes me a bit longer to fall into a deep sleep phase xP Your sleep pattern doesnt sound as bad as it could be though, maybe with some effort it could be adjusted?

Revates Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I recommend drinking copious amounts of coffee and just cut out sleeping altogether. :V 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paroapockinroo Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'm not sure if I'm an insomniac or not, but if I am it seems to attribute more with waking. I got into the habit of staying up til 2-4 in the morning and even after fixing my schedule to going to bed around 11-12 after about 3 weeks it reverted back and I just wouldn't get tired til around 2. Sometimes even if I am exhausted I'll just be awake until 2 unable to sleep; I also can't sleep if I know other people in the house that I live in are still awake, it's like I can sense their activity and get paranoid and tense about it. Anyway, regardless of when I fall asleep, I almost always wake up around 8 or 9 am and just won't be able to fall asleep after that, even if I've only gotten like 5 hours of sleep. It's exhausting.
