Honest question: how the hell do you guys manage to sleep?

[Eren]

I have severe insomnia for years, I have been even 5 days in a row without sleeping at all. My doctor told me there was nothing they could do for me.

I am taking a sleep inducer (zolpidem) it helps me but even so sometimes I also take orfidal (benzos) some days I don't even get to sleep this way, it is not my main reason for ctb, but it is torture.

Well it's a typical night for me. Almost 6am my time and I'll be able to fall asleep in the next couple hours if I'm lucky (after drinking for a few hours and taking a handful of medications & supplements) SO I'D REALLY LIKE TO KNOW TOO.

I wake up at 5am, don't eat most of the day and fall unconscious between 10 and 1.

i wake up at 3pm, then i stay away until 5am. it works because i'm usually too exhausted to stay awake past 5

I started off with 1/2 a zopiclone when I wasnt that bad. Now I need 1-2mg of clonazepam, 150mg pregabalin and gravol to get a decent sleep.

Mirtazapine was great until it gave me restless legs. Don't know if I should try seroquel, yet anyway

Ah, Mirtazapine gave me restless legs as well. Seroquel is supposed to be pretty sedating, so perhaps it could work for you. But because it's an antipsychotic, I wouldn't use it unless I was comfortable.
