#insomniac problems

[adhdxxsdiary]

When trying to fall asleep,

NT brain:

Autistic/ADHD brain:

*music you heard an hour ago playing on repeat*,

*leaves one leg out of blanket to regulate temperature*,

"My neighbors are stomping their feet again and I can't sleep until they stop moving",

*events of the day come out in flashback moments*,

*that one tiktok video you saw keeps playing in your head*

*thinks about a hypothetical conversation with therapist*,

"sh*t I forgot to pee again",

"My hands/feet/lips feel very dry so I can't sleep",

"I feel thirsty, but my bladder is already full",

*thinks about events of tomorrow*

"Why isn't my sleep medication working?"

*starts to feel hungry*

*side turn, exchange the leg that was under the blanket*

*starts noticing their tinnitus*,

*wants to absolutely Google something, before I forget*,

*music keeps playing louder and starts vibing on it, until you remember you have to sleep*,

*shushes ownself in an effort to quiet brain down and fails repeatedly*

"Why am I in hell?"

Bojack x reader

Bojack comforts you when you can’t sleep

3:27

Shit. You turn to your bedside table taking a few sips of water. You’ve always had trouble sleeping due to your anxiety and tonight was no different. You lay back down pulling the comforter back over you trying not to wake Bojack. You lay awake staring at the ceiling thinking of all the possible things that could happen in your sleep. Your eyes grow heavy but your body won’t let you sleep. You keep tossing and turning that eventually wakes up Bojack.

“Shhh” he barely mumbles as he pulls you closer to him. “What’s wrong?” He says groggily. “Can’t sleep” you respond. He turns over and pulls you so your completely on top of him. You guys cuddle for a few minutes until he starts to notice the reason you can’t sleep is because of your anxiety. “Don’t worry I’ve got you” he reassures you while softly stroking your back. You nuzzle your face into the crook of his neck and finally close your eyes and drift off to sleep.

Me: *wakes up after only getting two hours of sleep.

*goes to the kitchen because my stomach has decided to eat itself.

*there’s only leftover spaghetti.

*sigh™️ as I get out the spaghetti.

*stares at spaghetti whilst having a realization of epic proportions.

Me: it’s too early in the morning for spaghetti.

*looks at the clock.

*its the afternoon.

*proceeds to laugh hysterically.

*realizes there’s nothing else I want.

*resigns self to eating granola bar and goes back to bed.

I've gotten a total of maybe seven hours of sleep since Wednesday and I want to cry

My insomnia is always bad but not always this bad

Funniest thing is I could have fallen asleep around midnight, ya know, four hours ago, but I had to take care of the dogs first and then I wasn't tired anymore

I bet y’all didn’t know I like SU 🙂

Me: *actually trying to be normal*

My serotonin: Is that Supernatural omg it’s on . Hey it’s on now

Me: I see that *does flappy hand movements*

My serotonin: HAHAHAHHAHA ITS DEAN OMG ITS DEAN

Me: *sister turns off T.V*

My serotonin: *wilts*

Just a nice drawing at 2am because I haven’t been able to sleep for 3 weeks :)

[sillysaturnsshitposts]

hate it when i go to bed at like 2am and at 6 fucking am my brain is like “its time for school ☺️” and wakes me up

I'm Herby banning myself from playing video games late at night or before bed.

I have recently started playing Omori and have already dedicated hours to game I don't even have hours to play. Well tonight I started playing while it was dark out and by the time I was done playing the sun is out. Hooray!

In other words, I accidentally pulled an all nighter because of Omori so I'm banning myself from playing it so late again.

P.S. by recently I mean the day before yesterday. I've been playing for two days and the game says I've played for nearly 15 hours. You do the math.

Random rant:

There are men out there who think women should please them, right? That women are just supposed to stay in the kitchen and have children and obey their husbands. Well… where the fuck did we get that bullshit?

In nature, it’s almost always the MALES who are the ones doing the impressing, the caretaking, the hard work of hunting, etc. The FEMALES choose who to go with based on if THEIR needs are met. Males whole lives basically are to please the females. But somehow… humans decided females were the ones to get food? Females were the ones to caretake?!? Where the fuck did that come from?!?

Everywhere you look in nature, there is respect between the two sexes in animals. And yet some of us deny that we are animals ourselves. Why are we deciding to isolate ourselves past our own nature just to feel like we have power over someone?

Truth is boys, you’re the ones supposed to be proving to the women that you are a suitable mate.

Sorry just thought of that at 2AM…

People who think that they have insomnia because it took them an hour to get to sleep one night last week:

Me explaining why I won’t be sleeping tonight because Taylor Swift has an interview and music video release - Like it isn’t me every other night of the week (when there isn’t a Taylor Swift release) and I’m still up at 3 am not sleeping

[screechingsnail]

Always awake

Not in the sleep is for the weak way

But in the sleep is for the blessed way (and I am not)

[argylithe]

It's 2 am and I am hungry.

My house is void of any snacks.

I am filled with disappointment but then again disappointment doesn't fill your stomach.

Brr

Such an injustice.

Why have the gods forsaken me.

I got a brief visit of the neighbors cat. I need to stop falling asleep with the balcony door open.
