then the next guy says drugs...
I agree that it's probably physical inactivity coupled with mental extreme activity. As far as why this never happened before, there may be a few reasons. 1) It may be that as you get older, your body is changing. I don't mean to sound like a dork, but you pretty much have the body of an adult now, and things are different. 2) You may think nothing's changed, but something really has. Maybe it's an extra hour online. Maybe it's the anxiety over not sleeping. Maybe the weather? Maybe you're eating or drinking something late at night that's giving you too much energy. You could be overlooking something.
I think a few nights of poor sleep is not a good enough problem for lunesta. If this had been going on for weeks, then sure, your body needs some help. But everyone has a few nights like that once in a while. Your dr is a bit extreme IMO.
I had been sleeping very poorly in the past few weeks because of the humidty. Though it's not hot at night, I really need heavy blankets on top of me when I sleep. Without that, I was having a hard time falling and staying asleep. It finally caught up with me a few days ago, and I had such a headache that I thougt my skull was going to crack. Fortunately, we had a really cool night the other night, so I was able to get back on track.
You have to start slowly backing up your bedtime. Go to bed when tired. Don't bother getting into bed if you're still wide awake. Tossing and turning will only keep you awake longer.
Good luck.
Drugs are definitely necessary in this case. Working out is something I should have done, but was too tired (I should have done it anyways). It might help, and it might not. But I can't put my hope in "might" right now. Lunesta is definitely the way to go, maybe with a side of excersize, if I'm up to it.
Please don't drive today, K?
I personally have found a great way to cure insomnia;
Sit on your bed with your face towards the wall, place both of your palms on the wall, forming a rectangle between your chest, your two arms and the wall.
Carefully tilt your head backwards until it creates a 45 degrees angle with the wall, and focus your strength in the skull.
Now in one sharp move, quickly tilt your head forward and bash it directly into the wall.
At that part you should at least feel dizzy; let the dizziness take control(You may wildly shake your head to hasten up the process), and within a few seconds you should enjoy a good night sleep.
In the case that you do not feel the effect immediately, you may find it necessary to place both palms on the wall and repeat the process until the lost of consciousness.

I actually had plans to cash some checks and buy a video game until I saw this and thought about it, and realized that I probably wouldn't be up to using that money or playing the game today anyways, even if I did want to risk driving. So yeah, staying at home today.
I'm oddly less tired than I thought I'd be though. Partly thanks to the Red Bull, but even without that, the tiredness is in spurts, and comes and goes. Sometimes I almost feel perfectly fine. It's completely sporadic and random at this point.
PS Dav, take a break from the video games and computer stuff today. You need to turn your mind off. [/mom]
Put the Red Bull away!! Dear Heaven, you do not need any stimulants! :shock: Veg in front of the tv today, and if you doze off, good! But stay away from that crap. Don't make me call your mother. :naughty
try masturbation, that makes me sleepy :mrgreen:
I feel bad for your son :lol:
My mother knows about the Red Bull, and I don't plan on having anymore today anyways. As for the relaxing, well, my own mother seems to not share that view, what with the constant stopping by to tell me things I "eventually" need to get done. But if I am going to take it easy, the computer is as good a place to do that as TV. Right next to my bed and everything, so that every few hours when I feel like I need to sleep or I'll go crazy, I'll lie down and once again not fall asleep. For all I know I'm already crazy.
Anyways, taking care of unfinished business might help me ease my mind, which could help me sleep.
You mean it makes your hand sleepy.
Xanex works wonders for me if I cant get to sleep because of stress. But a less hardcore remedy is Advil. If that dont work, Nyquil. I have anxiety problems so I can relate. I havent had a very easy life and over the years my nerves have gotten a tad..... haywire I suppose.
