  Oh never had insomnia… I literally used to be ready to kill myself at my insomnia peak. Being awake for more than 2 days… Laying in bed for 8 hours not sleeping. Smoking weed, melatonin, ibuprofen, Benadryl, lunesta sleeping pills… All that combined and ide still be awake all night…

    Well, the article does go into that. The effects of chronic sleep loss are well known as far as being detrimental is concerned, but the effects of acute sleep loss are less well known.

    As someone who suffers from insomnia, I fucking wish I could reverse depression by not sleeping. Shit would be poggers.

      At my peak is remember sitting in bed wishing I could kill myself. Like if I had a gun I wonder if I would have done it. I think my max is three days. Doctors wouldn’t give me meds that work because of my gender and age. They actually gave me a med and eventually I looked up the side effect and one was insomnia.

      If I recall correctly they may have given me like 3 benzos with no refill. While I was losing my life…

      I was considering just buying Xanax off the street.

      Eventually I got them to give me lunesta which is similar to ambian. Sometimes it didn’t work…

      Sometimes ide wake up and would be a Zombie till 10 am not even knowing how I got to work.
