It feels like your body is never comfortable and your thoughts are racing but every part of you wants to go to sleep

I have insomnia and I wondered why I would just start crying sometimes

It sucks more when nobody believes you.

[elysienne]

What's almost worse than having insomnia is when people don't believe that you have it
" trust me I stay up late too but yet I dont complain"
Staying up late and physically not being able to sleep are two different things
One's a legitimate mental illness while the other is just staying up late binge watching 'stranger things' or having one night of disrupted sleep.

They forgot to mention that at night you literally go insane because everyone else is asleep and you are by yourself not able to talk to anyone or interact with any humans for at least eight hours.

I didn't sleep last night, so I've literally been awake for 40 hours...and I have an exam tomorrow. Let's hope I sleep tonight..

This is like watching someone going insane

I envy people who can just fall asleep right when they close their eyes like wtf It takes me hours but when I do sleep its like magic

[Purpelspy]

I feel so bad for insomniacs :( It must be so hard...

Nobody in my home understands, I'm 16 and I have insomnia. They tell me " just go to sleep!" I can't. I have gone to school without sleeping so many times, I have really dark circles and all I want is to sleep I take sleeping pills they don't work. I stay up crying cuz Im so frustrated that I can't just sleep I barley feel tired at night and I will lay there the whole night trying to sleep and I just can't I hate it so much...

[alberte]

I feel so sorry for people who suffer from this

[mabepines]

I have anxiety and insomnia and I'm scared to sleep

[erikdeanda]

I don't have insomnia. I just have this thing called youtube that keeps me up all night...

[BigDan]

I can be awake for 1 week and about 5 days (yes I’ve counted my high score) and after that I slept for a day long

[mia-uizd]

oh thank God, I thought I was crazy for being so emotionally unstable and crying at night.

[Olivetree]

I hate when people think Insomnia is just having trouble falling asleep at night.

[WonderMousePC]

I hate how a lot of people think they have insomnia just because it takes them half an hour to get to sleep

[roshni]

want to sleep but can't..the most heartbreaking thing for insomniac people like me..😢😭

Obviously I'll never understand what its like to have fatal insomnia, but the nights I can't fall asleep, I always have creative boosts and then end up crying afterwards lol
