My Brains Are 24/7 Active... Posted: 08-21-06 05:12am
Hi every1, I dont know where to start. I
am having this for 4 years now I guess,
like the topic title says my brains are
24/7 active, its like been in standby ,
not really sleeping, and 80% awake. I can
hear everything happening around me and I
am thinking the whole time about random
stuff, the whole night long. It wasnt
this serious, I usually slept for about 2
hours a day for the last 3.5 years. But
lately it became worser, no more sleep...
,
its getting on my nerves, I cant do
anything anymore go to work, eat, sport,
study etc. I just want to return to my
routine of 2 hours a day of sleep, I know
it may sound crazy to some ppl but its
enough for me I got used to it.
And I would be happy if I got only my 2
hours of sleep back. Dont waste your time
posting ways like drinking warm milk, or
doing some pushups before sleeping I tryed
them all nothing worked, I took 6 sleeping
pils and I was 100% awake, thats not
natural lol.
Any1 having the same/similar experience?

Have you discussed this with your dr?
Maybe he/she might want to order a sleep
study.
Good luck!

Me too..I know exactly what you mean. You
can be soo tired, but your mind doesn't
want to go to sleep. I think about stupid
stuff that doesn't even matter, but it
just goes from one thing to the
next...Scenarios..Crap like that. I'll
try to stop and say, 'ok, time to sleep,
just think about dark,
quiet...Sleep'....But my mind always
wanders..For hours. It wont ever shut off
untill I do eventually fall asleep, but I
have no control over when it stops. I
dunno.

Hi,
i had the same issue. It would take
forever to fall asleep and god forbid I
woke up at night, my mind would start
again and it would be very hard to fall
back asleep.
I slowly began to realize that I allowed
myself to get like that. It was a
learned behavior. You have to learn how
to shut it off. It doesn't happen
overnight. It takes time, consistent
effort to relax. I learned how to breath
and take back control.
Medication is not a solution. A solution
is takes more effort but well worth it.

Hi
if you an insomniac. Here's a tip to help
you sleep better, get a flat piece of
magnet, south pole facing up, and put it
under your pillow when you sleep, such
that the magnet is directly below your
head. I tried this and I slept like a log
for a whole week, but the effect wore off
after that, I guess its because the magnet
lost its strength.
If that doesn't work, try orientating your
bed in a north/south direction and sleep
with your head pointing north. It did'nt
work for me, but it might for you.
Do You Know 4 Hz Brainwaves Are Associated With Sleep? Posted: 06-26-07 23:15pm
The four basic types of brain waves are
alpha, beta, theta, and delta, with the
type distinguished by frequency.
Alpha waves fall between 8 and 13 Hertz
(Hz), beta are above 13 Hz, theta between
4 and 7 Hz, and delta are less than 4 Hz.
Alpha waves are usually the dominant
rhythm seen in the posterior region of the
brain in older children and adults, when
awake and relaxed. Beta waves are normal
in sleep, particularly for infants and
young children.
Theta waves are normally found during
drowsiness and sleep and are normal in
wakefulness in children, while delta waves
are the most prominent feature of the
sleeping EEG.
Simply download and listen to soothing
ambient music at bedtime and specific
inaudible sound frequencies to sooth you
day.
