Insomnia

[ShazAtko]

Just a quick question about insomnia. Is it best to try not to sleep during the day and wait till you go to bed again the next night or not?

Thanks.

Thanks for that. This is the 2nd night in a row, and Nytol did not work last night. It totally puts your routine out of sync and work during the day so want to get it back again.

:)hi, i usually find that by about the 4th night of proper insommnia, i just sleep normally becasue im exhausted - but if its like a long phase of waking early and not being able to sleep deeply - i try not to sleep in the day and not to go to bed too early, becasue then i usually end up awake after 3am -but when its justb no sleep at all due to serious anxiety i will nap in the day if i can, because like previous poster said you can feel quite ill - ive never tryed nytol, but i have had to resort to proper sleeping tablets in the last year, as continual poor sleep due to stress was getting me down - not sure whether its that bad for you or if you would take proper sleeping medication - i dont think doctors give it freely though, as apparently it can be highly addictive.
