I spoke to the doctor the 5th time today to discuss my inability to sleep until I have a headache and am about to passout from exhaustion.
They suggested getting up if I can't fall asleep.

- _fs 5y agoI believe the theory behind this is that you don't want to associate your bed with not sleeping. If you body is not ready to sleep, don't bother trying. I got a similar suggestion after a spell of a week or two with 2 hours or less sleep a night. I was physically and mentally exhausted, but I could not sleep.
- lugged 5y agoI understand the theory. The problem is I don't associate bed with anything other than sleep, I implemented that practice years ago. Now I'm actually questioning it, I did a lot better when I could fall asleep watching boring documentaries on YouTube. Now I watch documentaries until I get tired, but after getting up, going to the toilet, having a drink of water, brushing my teeth, all before hitting bed I'm wide awake again.
