Do you ever struggle with sleeping?

[Oblivion 20,265]

YES! Such as right now, I should be asleep.... 

[AveryGamerDude 4,640]

Sure do. I always wake up in the middle of the night and can't sleep...

[Thuja 3,658]

It normally takes me 4 or 5 hours to fall asleep and when I do fall asleep, I wake up every few hours.  Thankfully, I take medication that really helps with that so now it only takes an hour to fall asleep and I stay asleep through-out the night.

[TheRockARooster 47,211]

I’m mixed, sometimes I fall asleep with no problems but sometimes it can take ages to fall asleep because my mind can race a lot.

[Splashee 28,537]

My struggle is getting to bed early, or getting out of bed early...... Anything early!

 

Late to bed, late to sleep, and late to wake up. Not a very good pattern.

[Totally Nyx 35,453]

I'm similar to @Splashee on this one. The struggle is in getting to that bed, or putting down my book when I'm already in bed. As for actually getting to sleep and staying asleep though, I don't have any problems with it. Just shut off the lights, relax, and stop thinking about the day. Stop the brain from thinking about anything important and it'll get bored and fall asleep pretty fast.

[Brony Number 42 9,884]

If you lose the struggle, sleep wins. So that's good, right?

[The Historian 515]

I have chronic insomnia. So... yeah, unfortunately, I have trouble with sleep.

[IsraelYabuki 439]

I'm tossing and turning every night. It's bad enough recently that I woke up in a coughing fit.

[dead account 2,703]

Yeah, sometimes. I'm just too excited, I smile and jiggle and there are a lot of thoughts on my mind. Makes it hard to fall asleep.

[MaxAnim 38]

Sometimes is impossible for me to sleep.

[Tom Gallagher 33,521]

It depends on what I’m going through emotionally or how tired I am. 

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

It can be hard to sleep if I’m having a lot of worries on my mind

[Wingnut 6,722]

Sometimes I do have trouble sleeping.  When I do, it’s usually because of something on my mind.  Last night for instance, I woke up just past midnight and couldn’t get back to sleep at all because I now know it’s time to end a toxic relationship with a relative.  

[EpicEnergy 22,053]

I have trouble going to sleep and waking up.

[They call me Loyalty 1,941]

Sometimes I would go to rest. But then I will start feeling claustrophobic inside my body, like you are thrashing against the walls inside yourself. And then, I begin to experience this very dark emanations from the umbilicus area in the human body, and it is like I am trying to throw up something that is not physical in nature because it is sinking me. And it starts to drown you from the inside, until it takes over completely and then you are in the darkness, my friend. Even the look in my eyes change. Have you seen when they frame a criminal? Notice their eyes in the picture. Lost or entirely absent. Well, something like that. Not themselves, anymore. Not myself, anymore.

And if I try to push past the restlessness and the incremental activity of "voices" in my head, I will eventually fall asleep out of exhaustion. But there are some very rare occasions when I can get stuck in body paralisis, even without consciously trying to access astral. And it is in these circumstances that you can witness where those voices are actually coming from. I would be immobilized in my bed and look around my room to see these humanoid silhouettes, made of a very dark material that feels pretty much like the one that emanates from the umbilicus of the human body.

Of course, the inner-workings of this creation have never been taught to you. For reasons. But mostly because the scientific dogma that is part of the global deception, has blinded one of your eyes. The eye for the occult.

Well, these "episodes" are also very common among our "family" and the rest of humanity. So, when you see them with a psychopathic look in their eyes, or with sudden shifts in personality. Better still clear from them. Because it is not likely "them", anymore.
They become very violent and erratic, as well as giving themselves to all sort of addicitons during these states, that can last for weeks, sometimes. It is a possesion. An actual possession.
I've once witnessed one of these humanoid shadows during body paralisis, and it tried to force itself inside my body, as it were a suit for it.
Normally, the religious people I visited told me to invoke the name of yoshua. But I never liked my brother very much.
So... I stood there paralized while the shadow being started to become more and more desperate because he could not enter my body, out of sheer will. Until it eventually started crying over my chest. So, yeah. "Restlessness".

Most of the time no, but there will always be those nights where I can’t sleep for a long time

[Savygriffs 5,018]

I usually always have trouble falling asleep, but never really waking up.

[Fluttershutter 2,098]

Yeah, I can never shut my mind off. I toss and turn trying to get comfortable. I'm too hot or too cold. And sometimes I get up to go to the bathroom and then can't get back to sleep for my last two hours.

I'm right here with you on that one. 

[Dreambiscuit 8,003]

I don’t struggle with it too badly. My main problem is keeping the same sleep schedule from night to night. If I get out of my rhythm I don’t sleep well unless I take some Melatonin to help me along.

[Clawdeen 12,109]

Unfortunately yes. It’s become an issue again. I’d been considering having a sleep study done. It was mentioned back when I was in high school that I should consider having one done. Now I’m 27 and still haven’t gotten one lol.

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

I have trouble if I am waking up after having dreams or if it's very bright outside, forcing me to wake up earlier than I mean to

[Rainbow Cloud 16,111]

Yeah I have pretty bad insomnia and find it difficult to get to sleep.

Sleep is a terrifying demon that I must slay daily.  It's supposed to be a pleasant, inviting, comforting thing, but for me sleep is a monster.  I've had to work extremely hard for decades to train my brain in mindfulness just to be able to relax it enough to make ends meet and get enough sleep to survive.  My brain hates me.  Sleep is my lifelong nemesis.
