People with insomnia, step in here real quick...

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

Explain to me how that shyt is real cuz I just don't believe in it


I was talking with somebody who said they suffer from it today, and I never thought much of insomnia before cuz I never felt I've had it as a condition, but it's simple to me: Maybe you're just on a different sleep cycle/circadian rhythm


If you could live in a time zone of the world that's in sync with your rhythm, would that "insomnia" still exist? The real problem seems to be people in a place where they need to go to sleep. To wake up. To go to work. In a place that really doesn't fit their personal needs for sleep. Just curious

I don't like to call myself an insomniac because they say that reinforces the sleep issues. I can't get 5-6 hours of sleep without a sleep aid of some sort. To get 7+ I gotta take heavier drugs.

Really came to the conclusion my body just needs less sleep to function... problem is it still needs 7-8 hours to recover from heavy weightlifting and that's what really drives me crazy about not getting enough sleep.

True to a certain extant that I agree with the body time zone thing but false to say it isnt real. Paranoia and Stress can make sleepless nights look like leg work.

Yeah I been had insomnia since I was 10. I believe it fukked my height up. I'm only 5'11 but my pops and uncle is 6'4 and shyt . My parents wouldnt let me take mo sleeping aids stronger than Benadryl, Nyquail and shyt

Going to school on 2 hours of sleep was normal. Being online and suddenly its 4am.... Taking the SATs on 0 sleep... Literally the only thing that helped me was ballin in high school. Football and basketball. I had to be physically exhausted .

Now I'm a grown man in an office and it gets worse because I'm not really doing anything for 10 hours a day. I'm trying hard not to be dependent on any pills though
