hello everyone I'm having massive troubles with sleep for a week now. It was mainly associated with my trip to the other city and going on a concert. I slept in my friends house on a bunk bed that wasn't so comfortable (I hate sleeping on the top). Anyway, this left me sleeping really badly. I used to go to sleep well past 3am everyday and getting 5h of sleep only. I know 5h isn't so bad but the fact that I kept lying in bed for so long in order to fall asleep really broke me. I was a mess and at some point I just couldn't stop crying. Anyway, the concert was great but I ended up going back to the house really late. Now I'm back in my own home. It's been one day. When I came back I immediately crashed despite having a severe back and throad ache. I slept for good 11h with a short break at 3am. Waking up and realising that I slept for so long felt amazing in the morning. Then the next day I ended up sleeping for only 4 hours since 7 am. I feel broken. My thoughts are racing and so is my heart. I don't think I've ever felt this bad I'm weak and I'm sweating. I'm trying to eat and drink but it's so hard. I don't know what to do anymore.
I'm only 18 and it's been a pretty stressful week. I wonder if melatonin would help, but I'm worried it would only make me feel more drowsy and not help me quit racing thoughts. Any ideas?
