Can you tell i havent slept

I get headache,extremely weak,poor focus. I also feel my head numb. I dont know whats going on. Its running my life. I sleep at a normal time but when I wake up I'm legit so confused whether I slept or not. I'd wake up neither tired or fully awake but it'll feel as if i had no sleep. Sometimes I feel like i dreamt but other times it's just black. Some other times I'd be thinking about one thing and the next thing I hear my alarm starts ringing. I get so confused whether I slept or not.

It's been happening for a while now please help! Jun 30, I have exactly the same thing NEW by: Serah I never had insomnia or anything similar, always loved sleep. Now I don't even know the difference if I slept or not.

It is like I just pass out. It is literally me thinking one thought and the next I know is me opening my eyes and 2 hours have passed. I have trouble falling asleep now, because I keep thinking about it all the time. It is so frustrating and scary :. Jul 22, Help.

NEW by: Anonymous I am going through this and have been for the past 7 months. I can't differentiate between wakefulness and sleep. It's ruining my life!!! And it's scary. I used to love sleep, now this is all I can think about. I just wake up with my glasses still on but my phone isn't in my hand like I remember. I was watching YouTube and then suddenly I woke up.

Aug 13, Sleep? NEW by: Anonymous I habe been havinf the samw problem for the past few nights im not surw if i have slept or not i lay down close my eyes feel lile im rolling around in bed all night tryimg to sleep amd once i realize its already 10 am and im just like wtf i couldnt sleep but i remember dreaming multiple diffrent dreams so this must mean i slept.

Im not sure why this is happening and no one on here seems to be posting any solutions , i read somewhere that it might be bad posture , idk feels. Like im going crazy. Aug 13, I am better for now.. NEW by: Serah I still don't know what it is exactly. But it seems to be caused by stress, depression and anxiety. Atleast in my case. After I posted on here I still had it for about two weeks. Where I had so much anxiety and depression.

I also found out that I was deficient in folic acid and took tablets. After these months of this horrible sleep thing, it is better now that I took my pills for folic acid and my depression and anxiety calmed down. I was always a heavy sleeper and i could sleep for hours but for the past few weeks everything has changed: I'm always tossing and turning and I feel as if my eyes are only closed but I'm not actually sleeping and like most of you I wake up hours later all confused because I litatelly feel as if I've had my eyes shut for 5 min can anyone please tell me what is this called??

I miss sleeping like I would normally do:. Sep 05, Joining the cub NEW by: Anonymous I've got this thing for a month and a half now where i go to bed around and wake up around 3 hours later.

Sometimes i feel like i've slept well in that time and sometimes i don't but its almost impossible for me to go back to sleep once i wake up.

I tried to sleep with someone else who can observe me and they say that i went back to sleep after waking up the first time in the middle of the night but to me i feel awake and just laying in bed thinking random thoughts.

I'm 20 now. Sep 18, Same here NEW by: Anonymous I am 13 years old and I've been trying to find whats been causing this well I've had insomnia now for almost 2 months and its not healthy since im so young and i try to talk to my mom but she says its a mental thing like its just me always overthinking things and that's why i cant sleep but i don't think about it only after 3 hours and i start to have anxiety and i start worrying and crying.

My insomnia has started the day after the first day of school and before then i haven't had any problems. Now that I haven't been able to sleep the past 3 days i have noticed that i don't remember if i had been asleep. I could be up to hours laying in bed and i don't know if had been sleeping.

Sometimes i would if i remember any dreams but i don't know i keep worrying and i dont know how to fix this ughh. What happens to me is a bit different. I go to sleep and wake up a couple hours later realizing that I've just been talking to myself in my head the whole time. When this happens to me, the usual first thought I get is "was I just talking to myself this whole time?

Everybody I've ever mentioned this to says that it's completely insane. I'm tired of this happening to me. Sep 27, Its happening to me too NEW by: Anonymous Its happening to me recently since i moved out of my town for a project requirement and stay away from family. I used to sleep flawlessly but now i go to bed by 11 or 12 and stay awake till 5 or 6.

After that I consulted a doctor for the same and after consuming the tablet i am facing the same issue which most of the guys here explained.

I am not sure whether i slept or not. No dreams and mornings found dizzy and lousy. I have to get up for school at 6 the next morning. It was 1am and then 4am then 5. And I had to get up in an hour. When my alarm went off I still felt like I had not slept at all and if I did it was only for an hour or two.

The same thing happened two nights later. That was last night. Thinking of borrowing my fathers fit bit to see how much I actually sleep. How can I fix this. Some week ago if going to sleep i could sleep H.. Dose any 1 know why dose this happens I'm really fed up with this.

I remember being awake a few times during the night but Feb 11, As I lay down my head starts playing thoughts I try shutting my eyes hard and ignore the thoughts but it isn't helping.

Due to which I feel restless and feels like I was awake all through the night. This has been the case since few months I tried working out hard to tiered my body so I can fall a sleep, at times it seems helping but its actually making it worse due to lack of sound sleep.

I heard having belly full would make you sleep faster, tried that as well and no its not a remedy. Have to some how make our body get used to a sleeping pattern by going to bed and getting up on a specific time. Mar 28, Dont know if sleeping or not but feel sleepy at day.

NEW by: Anonymous It was same to my insomnia. I had cured it last 2years and it cameback last 2weeks. The cause is my sleeping is abnormal because last few months i sleep am to 12pm in afternoon. And last month 3weeks i sleep 6am-2pm.

My eyelids not sure if its my eyes is shaking and my ears now pain. Sorry for bad english im an asian. Thanks please help me. May 08, sleep has improved so far NEW by: Anonymous anyone's sleep finally improve overtime? I would say my sleep is way way better now than before.

I'm still stuck on the light sleep stage but I can now sleep at night without multiple awakenings. It's weird to say that what has been helping me is using my phone nonstop during the night until eyes finally get tired and then I sleep. Please help me. So I ends up sleeping late at am or something. And I was watching a bunch of animation memes earlier so the music was still playing in my mind It still is, it's frickin Anyways so I turned off the light found my way to bed,it's really dark because the curtains are pinned to the wall.

And I'm laying down, put on my sleeping mask bcause it helps. And I remember this happened yesterday, I had trouble but that time I got my natural 9 hours of sleep. Anyways I'm trying my hardest to sleep, and I remembered that when sleeping, you don't think about nothing but it's really hard, and tried to slow my breathing And I switched positions like times!

And tried closing my eyes more to start dreaming! I turn to the curtain and moved the blinds open and it was sunrise but it was , from checking my phone I put my phone away, an pasted Same thing, 1 passed, I have my sleeping mask off again and I can actually see inside my dark closet because it was brighter but I thought"time flies by when doing nothing? Since my eyes were closed and all I saw was darkness I thought maybe I slept without realizing.

Jul 11, Related NEW by: Anonymous Wow dude it's the same to me i struggle sleeping for an hour and when i wake up i dont know if i have actually slept or not when i see the time it is 4 AM while i supposed it must be 3 AM so i understand that i have slept for an hour!

I've been having this for a couple of days! Good to see it is not that unnormal as i thought! What happens is I suddenly open my eyes it doesnt feel like I have slept but I cant remember actually having any concious thoughts before I "wake up".

Sep 06, same! NEW by: Anonymous its the same thing for me! Sep 09, I just really don't know if I'm sleeping. NEW by: Paul I'm honestly in the same boat as the lot of you. I'll lie down in bed, lay there for a bit, maybe wake up here and there throughout the night. It appears that I've been having trouble actually relaxing before bed. Like I'm stressed and my body is continually producing cortisol and it's snuffing out the sedative effects of melatonin.

Anyway next thing I know, it's morning. I do dream occasionally, it's always been that way, my dreams are usually always vivid. But anymore, like the most of you, it's hard detecting the transition between wakefulness and sleep. Which granted it's kind of hard trying to feel that "sensation" anyhow considering going to sleep is a sort of natural way to pass out.

I've never really felt the "sensation" of going to sleep before, perhaps in my case I'm just perceiving that I'm not getting as much sleep when in reality I'm sleeping like a baby. I don't know, I'm wanting to go see a doctor but I'm currently waiting to receive health insurance. I'll update you all if you're interested to see what's going on if anything. A week later as I was in bed I remember thinking 'I need to go to bed now or I won't sleep tonight.

I did not sleep that night. The next night I made the schoolboy error of going to bed early to 'make up for the night before' I did not sleep this night either.

By night 3 I was already anxious to get to sleep, and whilst I got 2 hours at around 4am, it was a bizarre sleep with an extremely vivid dream, but I did not know I'd been asleep until I recalled the dream.

I struggled to get anything more than an hour or 2 of sleep for 3 weeks, before I had a break down and went to my doctor. That night I managed a straight 6 hours, but again, I didn't even know I had been to sleep. For the past 3 months now, I've had countless crazy vivid dreams, and I never know what it's like to 'wake up' any more.

It just feels like I've been laying the entire night with no sleep, unless I recall a dream. My body literally feels like it's 'buzzing' and I always feel dizzy and wired. Stress can do insane things to the body, and for gods sake do-not start reading things online otherwise they tell you, you have some rare fatal disease, which only adds to the stress and anxiety many of you are probably experiencing.

So like many of you, I actually no longer know when I've slept, I no longer sleep a solid period throughout the night. Yup I feel awful, but considering everything that went on in the summer, I'm not actually surprised. Then worrying about the amount of sleep you get basically makes the whole issue worse and becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Find a good doctor, get some CBT and maybe we will all be able to sleep soundly again. You're not alone. Dec 04, no sleep NEW by: Anthony im glad i ran into this page.

Dec 16, Same here! I don't feel refreshed when I get up, so I don't think I fell asleep, but I also don't know what I did for hours - it certainly doesn't feel like I was awake for that long. I lay there without really thinking and without moving It'd be nice if I was actually getting some sleep during this time, but I just don't know. This usually happens when I try to nap or when I wake up at 3am and try to go back to sleep.

I just lay there in a state of not awake or asleep Dec 20, I dont know if i slept or not???? I slept at 12 am but Im tossing and turning or probably just sleep sideways.

I need help : I just want to sleep peacefully:. Jan 23, Vivd dreams and half asleep half awake NEW by: Adam Its so reassuring to see people going through same thing for me. It started back in March for me where I was unable to fall asleep at all for 3 days following a fever I had. It went eventually but then a week later I noticed that I was getting excessive dreams and only able to sleep for 7 hours with constant awakings.

What's worse is that I debeloved more symptoms in the coming month: frequent urination, fatigue, muscle spasm and twitching, frequent headaches, internal tremor while laying in bed, palpitations etc. This was and still is overwhelming for me as it continues to this day and even with multiple visits to neurologist and gps along with multiple tests I'm constantly told I'm fine.

Maybe it is anxiety as it did start off with insomnia as my first symptom and i was extremely strested out that I believe I suffered a panic attack a week later tho I can't tell as I'm not an 'anxiety sufferer' but it was my legs and body shaking excessively for like an hour.

Anyway back to present day my symptoms still linger and my sleep is at all time low, I don't even get 7 hours sleep anymore which at the time I wish I was grateful but of course I wasn't as I was sleeping 8 to 9 hours before of refreshing sleep.

I just need some guidance tbh. Apr 13, Take care of yourselves! NEW by: Anonymous Hi guys! I had a little read through this thread and thought I should add something that might be helpful. I've experience insomnia for the past few months and have come to manage it in a few different ways, as well as going on a Sleep Restriction Therapy. Firstly - sleeping tablets aren't a long term solution.

If you have an unhealthy lifestyle, poor nutrition, late nights, partying, blue light, too much light and noise at sleep time this is going to be a factor. If you feel like you've taken care of all of these things, stress is most likely the next factor. Stresses throughout the day don't majorly interfere with sleep to the extent of insomnia, so usually what happens is, we develop stress and anxiety about the insomnia itself.

So the act of lying awake in bed when you can't sleep can be really dangerous for your anxiety. This is important as your body tends to slow down a bit when you haven't slept for a night. As you haven't slept properly the night before, don't eat excessively as your body may fail to digest the food properly. Also, don't take in a high-carb diet.

A heavy diet may also make you feel sleepy and may kill your productivity. Eat something that keeps you alert; for example: fish, chicken, yoghurt and vegetables. When you are sleep deprived and feel like sleeping in the day, get some sunlight.

It helps you get some vitamin D and also boosts your mood and focus. Also, a tired immune system may also get a boost when you get some sunlight. When you take a cold shower, your whole system gets a sudden jolt which keeps you awake and alert. Have an exciting chat with colleagues, watch some interesting websites or videos, have a cup of tea and try to make your day more interesting especially when you didn't have proper sleep on the previous night.

Certain studies say that chewing a gum may beat your sleepy mood as it activates certain areas in your brain. As a gum's effect stays only for a short span, remember not to expect too much from it. This would the most beneficial thing for your health as your body will try to get some quality sleep even if you sleep only for minutes after lunch.
