I am just not sure what to do. It is now three days and counting since I have been able to sleep. I just lay there in the dark in my bed for HOURS so tired I can barely open my eyes but not sleeping. During the day my whole body feels sluggish like I’m walking through sand and all I want to do is sleep but the moment I get home and get in the bed absolutely nothing. The only sleep I have been able to get was this morning when literally as soon as my alarm went off I hit snooze and fell asleep. Slept for 9 minutes and then 9 minutes more and that is it. I just don’t know why to do anymore I’ve tried every trick in the book: meditation, relaxing baths, exercise, I cut out both caffeine and sugar out of my diet, breathing exercises, etc. nothing. This happens fever month or so and as of now my record is 9 days without sleep. Every time it seems I get that same “only able to sleep during the snooze” thing which I just think is so weird...anyways any help would be appreciated

    I've started noticing caffeine affecting my sleep more and more as I got older. I found only having a cup or 2 in the morning, and completely avoiding caffeine after 1pm helps a lot.
