I'm on no sleep.... NO SLEEP!!!!
-
So it's been days since I got a proper sleep and now been 48 hours with no sleep at all. :confused: Since I'm running out of options now so here's the question for y'all....What do you do when you're stressed and tired but just can't sleep for no apparent reason? :|

Unfortunately, getting drunk is not an option (religious restrictions). But taking notes from everyone's, I went on climbing more or less 500 stairs to a public spot, watched sun rise, took coffee that my mom made me and slept (yeah my brain in wrongly wired :laugh: ). Point is, I managed to sleep for sometime and that's all I care right now ;P
When I was so over tired I could not sleep, I just drank a cup of coffee. Usually I was asleep within 15 minutes.
But I never wave bye bye

There are a lot of things to try, thankfully. One thing is to make sure you're not eating too close to when you're going to bed. Another is (as others have suggested) to get some exercise during the day, which is good for both stress and sleeping. Put bluelight filters on your screens (though I've heard this might not work) or eliminate screen time at least an hour before bed. You could try meditation, not everyone's thing, but it's an option: Before Sleep | Beginners Spoken Guided Meditation | Chakra Alignment |How to Chakra Balance - YouTube[^]. Make sure the bedroom is dark and cold. I've heard you should have warm feet, but I don't know if that's true. If none of that works (or you could do it in tandem) consider going for a sleep study. You could have something like sleep apnea.

Everyone has there own method, nothing works for everyone and nothing works every time. I've found a useful technique which have worked on most occasions. First off make sure you have a good amount of water content, not hungry, not overly fed. Make sure you don't have to go to the bathroom, cause you will have to just when you are about to doze off. Eat a good 3 - 4 hours before sleep time. Take a walk for 1 KM or at least 200 steps after dinner. Try not to lie on mattress, use something like yoga mat or one of those expensive mattresses that are good for your back. When lying on the bed, close your eyes think of all the different things that are coming to mind. Let the proverbial thoughts flow. Now paint all those thoughts on the (imaginary) canvas in front of you. And then paint everything white. Once your head is clear along with a white background noise (I have found a sound with pattern relaxes me, like that of an old ceiling fan, one of those that look like they are about to fall off), or start counting one and two on inhale and exhale. If you are spiritual by nature and Muslim try replacing one with Allah and two with Hoo, or YAH and WEH if you are a Christian.

Eat a healthy meal, drink water and go for a 30 minute walk. Listen to music while you do and don't really think about anything important. It's important to let go of your stress and not hold onto it for days on end. Developers often use stress as a motivator to get stuff done, but that's also super unhealthy. My own appendix exploded because I did that too and I nearly died. If you're still in your early 20's you should be fine though.

Alcohol may put us to sleep, but the sleep is often not restful, so it's not the best option (even if it was an option for you). You might try a weighted blanket. My son suffered from insomnia and he says the blanket makes a huge difference. 5 Best Weighted Blankets - Aug. 2019 - BestReviews[^]

Good for you. I don't drink for health reasons. Is it possible you were really sleeping and dreaming you were awake? ;P

Find a recording of the last set of U.S. Democratic party debates. You should be asleep in 30 minutes. :laugh:

Go see a doctor. Might be more serious than you think.

Last time I had that problem, it was because my boss was pushing me to finish a project well ahead of time. After working Friday morning through Sunday night with no sleep, I finished the project. He still complained. So after a good nights sleep, I waited until payday, got my check, cashed it at the local branch of the back it was drawn on, then turned in my resignation. The company had a habit of keeping your last check if you quit, so I turned that around on them. I also handed over evidence to the customer (a state Corrections agency) where billing for my team had been padded by my boss with a lot of extra hours that no one worked. After all, sooner or later, it would have been discovered, and I did not want to be blamed for it. I moved on and they paid a hefty fine to avoid prosecution.

I use audiobooks (or podcasts, youtube streams etc.) I started out trying a self-hypnosis cd from Paul McKenna which sort of worked and then discovered just having an audiobook on at a lowish volume worked - I still wake up during the night but quickly fall back asleep. The only issue is losing your place in the book and so you end up listening to the same chapters over and over LOL

If we were having an in-person conversation I would have said something like "It's not death but life that scares me" (in a very dramatic way) :-D Well, yes I'm in my early 20's but can stress double my age. LOL ;P

I'm in my early 30's now and I really can't do that anymore. :laugh: Just make sure there's some long-term benefit to what you're doing right now. If you're doing this for a manager, you should probably start looking for a healthier work environment. Managers who don't consider your health are objectively bad at their job. :rolleyes:

I feel attacked. :laugh: Because I'm working independently so no bad manager but all comes down on me. :sigh:
