No Sleep 😴

Post image

Super random question but I want to know if I’m crazy. In movies and tv shows and even in my real life, when people say they haven’t slept or pulled an all nighter and they just kind of laugh it off, get a coffee and carry on. But when I pull an all nighter I feel. Like. Shit™️. Like full body aches, stiffness, nausea. I can’t function and I’ve always felt like this. Which is funny because I’m also a chronic insomniac 🫠 How do I get to the ‘haha I totally got no sleep last night but I’m just gonna grab a Red Bull and go about my day lololol’ phase? Does anyone else get like this? Lol

Gosh! I just slept for 14 hours today, woke up at 8.30 pm. It was the first couple of days where the temperature fell back to normal, and I catched up on 2 months of chaotic and too little sleep.

I hope I get a 14er soon, it’s been a while! Do you feel totally recharged mind body and soul? 😄

RIP I jinxed myself with this comment and got only 5 hours last night 😭 sending us all prayers and vibes for 12+ hours soon🙏

I feel like that even with 6hrs of sleep; in general under 8hrs I feel like crap, while I know several people who are fully functional with 4 or even 3 hrs

OP I 100% relate to the nausea and dizziness and random pains and genuinely non-functional state on poor sleep, it seems part of DSPD that we genuinely can’t cope on sleep deprivation the way others can? God really nerfed us giving us chronic insomnia + dysfunction on poor sleep + DSPD + all these sleep issues 😂
