> waking up early, at the exact same time, every day If you can do that, congratulations, you don't have insomnia. > need to eat a heavy breakfast (…) Some people think they are special snowflakes who "have never been able to eat in the morning" If I don't wait one or two hours after waking up before eating I'll puke, or at best have some severe nausea for hours, no thanks. I'm insomniac and it drove me quite close to death, try getting a total of 6h of sleep in a week, 48h without rest, or staying still and conscious for 8h. Sleep deprivation is torture and everyone has their idea of how badly people manage their lives, how insomnia isn't a thing, and how they should just "go to bed", "quit screens", or "eat proper".
You think we have not tried everything and anything? Melatonin saved me, not condescending uninformed counsel. When I started taking melatonin I discovered what feeling sleepy was like. I only knew exhaustion until then, and it was not always enough.
I've been able to sleep for the past two years and it still feels like a luxury. |
