Insomnia's comeback

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hello Everyone,

My insomnia has came back again recently within the last week. I had 2-4 or 5 hours of sleep last week up until sunday night. For the last 3 nights, i havent slept at all or I havent felt like i slept at all. Has anyone been through not sleeping at all for 3 or more nights? I'm a female 21 years old and I'm a college student and it isnt' because of the work as to why i cant sleep. Has anyone experienced having a few days of no sleep?

    I've been through several nights without sleep. one time I hardly slept for almost nine nights in a row. This was back last summer and my sleep really got better but I have recently been waking up several times during the night and going back to sleep for the past couple of weeks. For a while I thought I had Fatal Insomnia but it's been 15 months since last summer and I'm still able to write and reply on this health forum. You are obviously having some anxiety spells.
