Me, probably. It takes like a gallon of nyquil to get me to sleep before 4am most nights, unfortunately.

I took a life-long struggle with insomnia and turned it into a habit of working third shift.

That was my old strategy and so now, I'm just take two Aleve PM that I got from Wal-Mart; they really work.

I love to sleep, just not at night. Nighttime is when everyone's online! It's when the stars come out and everything is dark and quiet! When I can sit anywhere in the house without worrying about light from the windows!

Also, sweet profile gif. I fucking love Rick and Morty.

Night is also the best time to drive. It's amazing. Once you get off the highway there is nobody on the roads, and everything is cool and quiet even in the summer.

@Vilageidiotx I wish I lived somewhere that was nice to drive at night. The drunks really come out of the woodwork around here at night. And early mornings.

@Obscene Symphony Rick is one of the greatest characters ever conceived.

I used to have insomnia really bad because of my teenage angst and also because of some personal reasons, but after moving in with my aunt and uncle, I was forced to fix my schedule. Honestly, I sleep most nights, but I still suffer sometimes. Learning to deal with it is the worst.

I'm sorry for all the others out there that have to suffer along with me.

It is not exactly insomnia but I kinda struggle getting to sleep because of a fear of sleep and dark because anyone can sneak up on you when you are sleeping and you can die in your sleep and you can't see anything in the dark so I am basically afraid of death.

@Cynder Mine's just gotten worse now that I live on my own. And college doesn't help when class starts at 3.

@carla6677 That's why my apartment is a cluttered mess, ain't nobody sneaking up on me in the middle of the night. Then again, it's usually me falling through the clutter of my apartment in the middle of the night. I bet my downstairs neighbors think a drunk lives above them.

It's honestly a pain in the ass to defeat insomnia and I've had on and off battles with it my whole life, but resetting your schedule completely is usually the best way to fix it. It's not easy and definitely not fun (I had to get up early during my Spring Break to stay on top of it), but possible. Takes some time though.

@Cynder I'm just glad I can get work done in the middle of the night. It's usually when I get my best writing done, anyway. Could be worse. No 9-5 for me, thank you.

Here lately, sleep isn't that common for me. Like, I'll be ready to pass out and then when my head hits the pillow, my mind runs rapid until my brain shuts down at about 2-3am and I can finally sleep.

I usually end up sitting in bed several hours after I intend to go to sleep still writing or watching youtube videos. Up until 5 like that last night. Then got a call at 6 to give my dad a ride to work. I didn't need any sleep anyway.

I've had Ambien prescribed to me multiple times. Stuff is great, although I obviously don't take it every night. Some 5 or 6 years ago I got hooked on OTC nighttime stuff and it got pretty bad, but luckily I realized what was happening and went cold turkey before I made the situation worse.
