my boyfriend just reported to me that he feels not very well, and he didnt sleep at all last night. i thought he was exagerating until he told me the whole story.

he went to bed at 12.45 very tired, and laid there and couldnt sleep. he didnt fall asleep at all! then his alarm didnt go off, and then he realised it was time to get up, and he hadnt slept at all.


what should we do? it might be a little odd that im acting as if this is my problem to, .... we dont live together. but it is my problem because i care.

anybody have the problem of no sleep whatsoever? what can you do about it?

i know sometimes im in bed and have very little sleep like.... an hour in total, but ive never had NO SLEEP of a night.

what to do?:faint:

Well, there are only two things you really can do. One is call in sick to work/school, stay home, and try to sleep or call the doc. The other is go to work/school, attempt to function, come home, and crash. Usually, I pick #2 unless it's been going on for a while.

I have gone days without sleep; especially, after I had the baby and my body experianced an extreme hormonal imbalance that was a strange experiance because I was never tired, couldn't function but wasn't even remotly tired.

Has he tried any natural remedies? A chamomille bath? chamomille and lavendar lotion? warm milk? reading something totally un-interesting? The problem is most sleep aids prescribed by your doctor can become addictive, I've recently learned at a med inservice to keep my license that they are finding natural meds to also be addictive; but, I would think that these meds used in moderation could/would be beneficial if all else fails. Lets all hope he crashes after school and work today.

I used to sleep every other day for the first 20 years of my life, after I started to smoke marijuana every night, my sleep patterns became normal. Not suggesting Weed, but there is something out there for everyone to help them sleep.

i oftern go all night without sleep. Its more than ADhD and ASD though. Usualy exaustion overtakes me at some point and i sleep like 16 hours, feeel grogy all day and then repeat. Cout try like tomazopam or somthihng but im with futs, some natural substance would proly be better. Then again (to my knoledge) people with ADhD oftern function on less sleep than those without ADhD. Not an expert though, and my sleep is messed.

What was the time he took his last dosage of add/adhd meds. I take my last dosage before 2:00 pm or else I am up all nite.
