Hello, I am a 27 years old girl and this is my second night without any sleep. It's not my first time but now I would like to share it here and ask for similar experiences and help, since now I am kind of scared. I had 2,5 mg Loranzepam the previous night, but it didn't help. I just felt physically helpless the rest of the night, struggling with sleeping. Unfortunatelly, I never sleep or nap during the day, it's impossible for me. Do you have any advice or similar experiences? I once read I could die of no sleep for a week or more, it freaks me out.

Thank you deeply,

greetings

    I need to add I suffer from depression. It was harder on me 2 weeks ago, I found a good home job, since then it is better. I also drink 2 mg Olanzapine everynight and 10 Paroxetine daily. Because of the same reason of not sleeping and inner conflicts, I had acute psichosis last summer, when I started taking these medications. Things gone better, but now this happens to me again... Thank you <3

      I think I fear letting go and not trying to fix everything with my mind. I also feel very depressed deep down, and the less you sleep, the harder it comes. I think I just can't relax.

    Have you used those sleeping pills before? It is easy to get addicted to tem and then they stop working. You have to figure out why your body refuses to sleep. It might be something you take, in a form of supplements, or Red Bull, or too much coffee or other stimulants. In my case lack of sleep was because of hyperventilation and ashma. For sometime I helped it with sleeping on my stomach , having something pushing on my diaphragm, so that my breathing normalized. I am not saying this would help you, what I am saying is that there are different tricks, body positions etc that can help.

      I know about Banzos, thats why i am scared, cause I dont sleep for 2,3 days, take a Benzo, and sleep. It's how its been this last week. I dont drink coffee. What is most weird to me is that I am peaceful, my mind is not rushing anywhere, i rest peacefully, maybe depressive, and i just dont drift to sleep. I even had a meditation experience, when i was close to sleep, united with myself, but didnt fall asleep. Mostly i dont get it, i dont. Maybe i am just super sad, so i dont feel like sleeping, rather torturing myself. I have no idea sad thanks for help
