Insomnia general

Does anyone else here /insomnia/?
Nabokov called sleep "the most moronic fraternity in the world, with the heaviest dues and the crudest rituals."

Had a whole six months of it last year, during which I nearly lost my marbles and my job.

I've learned that good sleep is the foundation of a good life. And dreaming is one of the highest functions of the mind. Once you start recording and interpreting your own dreams, you open up a whole avenue of communication with the unconscious. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Yes, been struggling with it for a few years. Been trying to sort it out because a lack of sleep is fucking horrible. Being permanently sleep deprived means i can barely do anything, barely think ect

Nabokov was a great writer but the more I hear of his opinions the more I can't stand him

who else /foggy zombie for the first half of the day but all manic in the second half and night/ here?
It fucking sucks, everyone expects you to be at your best in the morning
I just dont get sleepy at night

>opposite
>Hypersomnia

I really need to sleep for 13 hours or more to feel rested. Having to get up after sometimes only 8 hours ruins my entire day and leaves me unmotivated the entire day.

Dreaming is my favorite pastime

>everyone expects you to be at your best in the morning
Feel you.

A simple attitude change worked for me.

Don't go to bed to sleep. Go to bed to rest. Nothing can stop you resting. When you're not focused on trying to sleep, actual sleep comes more easily.

Another good (and more practical) technique is sleep restriction. It's worth a Google, believe me.

Damn that's a comfy picture. Saved.

He really did say some of the dumbest shit.
