He hasnt slept in 4 days but has zopiclone to take tonight. He gets insomnia occasionally especially when ive kept him awake struggling, so got to try hard not to do that again, shucks! I’m sleeping day and night im so tired and hate being alone so would rather sleep as a form of escapism. Im quiet and subdued would best describe it no bad thoughts tho. Ive depot this weds and a food delivery, apart from that just getting by ---

Sorry ducky, been through the same recently. Had the zopiclone and all. Did nothing really but give me gerd cough which lasted a month but seems to have almost resolved now. Best thing I found for insomnia is stay laying down in bed all day except for brief exercise daily. ---

Has he tried wearing a blindfold? That helped me a great deal at first because it is an effort to keep eyes shut for long and keep opening and waking. ---

He has got a cab to the doctors just now as earliest appoint was 11am, he insisted on going by himself. Hes been hallucinating spiders in his bed. Speech more slow and slurred sometimes. But not too bad i think if he manages to sleep when he gets back he should be able to recover. But if he goes on without sleep its gonna get worse mentally and maybe physically ---

Insomnia is a difficult thing to go through, but as long as one remains at rest sleeplessness is not so bad in itself. I had some trouble with tachycardia early in because I wasn’t resting enough I think. ---
