sleep-deprivation caused by thoughts that keep on going : tips that may save you misery or your life

[PeaceGen]

I personally have this problem from time to time,

thoughts rambling on and on, to the extent of not being able to sleep at all, period, for an unknown and seemingly endless time.

the cause of the rambling thoughts that can’t be calmed down into something that allows you to fall asleep like a normal human, can be any of the following :

• your fantasy running at some speed based on something you read, saw, or heard, or something you happened to think up while bored, etc, etc.
• multiple personality disorder (google it perhaps)
• what psychiatry calls the “delusion” telepathy and labels “voices in your head” instead, is in fact not for everyone a delusion, at least not according to my honest life experience. for more information, see my telepathy manual at http://tinyurl.com/telepathybyrv which points to https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0By4ZHMBgG5oCVExSczVQNThpNUE

sleep-deprivation is potentially deadly, but there are only basic scientific study results available about after how many nights and days after another without any true sleep at all, even “the average” or “military-trained” human, will die.

It gets really tricky after 3 or 4 nights for most soldiers (you may have more or less workload that that particular soldier reported on at the web-address listed below here, but that is actually of little relevance to how long you can last without real sleep, based on my own life-experience (i’m 41 at the time of writing and publishing this).

It gets downright deadly after 7 nights and days without real sleep, for the vast majority of humans, if they don’t receive any help at all.

that is why psychiatry has the very best sleeping meds on the planet available in their hospitals, and yes, that’s the only place they’re handed out (*inside* hospital, to patients) because sleeping meds are tricky to use and best avoided when possible.

but as you can read in my telepathy manual, i’ve been there (in mental hospital), it’s often unpleasant to have to stay there too. If you ever end up there, accept the fact that you’re locked in a ward with other people who are in problems, and that you’re there probably 24/7, for a few months in a row, to properly cure you and fix you back to full health.

you’ll have a psychiatric record, so applying for worker disability pension / benefits, is a wise idea, if this type of situation happens to you unpredictably or more than say once per 3 years. Because you won’t be able to hold a job with a psychiatric record and the need to recover months-long in a hospital.

psychiatry offers little psychological help, but you can usually get at least some psychological help by just being nice to others on the ward you might end up on. It’s patients helping patients, nurses helping patients, and sometimes patients helping nurses, fix eachother’s psychological hurdles, in casual conversations.

psychiatry itself runs on 2 principles : demanding obedience from their patients as a test to see if they can function peacefully in society (or when they can again), and anti-psychotics, which are all dopamine-blockers.

dopamine is the neuro-transmitter natural chemical generated by the human body when you feel happy over something.

because of all of this, the chances of ending up in a depression via psychiatry saving you from lethal levels of sleep deprivation, are great.

you need to appreciate the little things that others take for granted, if you unfortunately end up in this situation,

a roof over your head, food-stores filled properly (including the checking of experation dates) so you can skip a day of going outside when you need to,

and things like art, music, something to give your life purpose in your own eyes and maybe also in the eyes of the ones of whom you value their opinion about you (parents, romantic partner, your own kids if you have those when this disease/problem hits you).

you’re now free of the rat-race, have total freedom of agenda, but probably unpredictably recurring hard periods in which you’re fighting for your life.

but here’s the important thing : this is not a physical fight with anyone.

it’s a fight to return to a regular and easily entered normal sleep pattern.

you’ll get the advice from doctors to try to “slap” your day-night rythm back into shape by only trying to sleep at the regular human sleeping hours, and doing something to keep yourself awake until then. i suspect that won’t work for everyone, because it doesn’t work for me.

so what i do is i sleep when i can, for as long as i can.

and other than that, it’s simple : keep your house clean enough to receive an unexpected visitor whenever you can, keep your freezer and your fridge stocked with stuff that’s not about to go over it’s expiration date, don’t over-eat just to try to feel happy, happiness is never achieved from just 1 something in your life i think.

keep the music/movie volume low during 19:00–07:00 (small kiddie and all other humans’ normal sleeping time),

but feel free to turn it up a bit during day-time hours, and don’t forget to keep track of what day of the week and what day of what month it is, because you need to know when it’s sunday and a certain shop might be closed in your area. last thing you want to do is make stupid mistakes in public and appear “confused”, coz that leads to people making reports to police, who, after a few such reports, usually have you picked up for a few months recovery in mental hospital. which is an uncomfortable prison, in most areas, even most western rich cities.

For more details on what of these limits are known, see https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/13/human-body-limits-survival_n_1773167.html

the first thing that gets difficult, right on day 2, the first day after a night of not getting any real sleep at all,

are things like :

• riding a bycicle
• driving a car
• going to the supermarket — you may forget to actually focus on what’s travelling over the intersections that you need to cross on your shopping walk, and get hit by a vehicle that you normally speaking would have seen in time to avoid colliding with it, in your usual way.
• using the ATM to get cash out of the wall, and then storing it all in the proper place in your wallet. tip here is to have standard spots for all your vital items like phone, wallet, home-keys, any electronics you take with you, in all clothing you’re wearing during that month of the year. And to actually check regularly, do i still have all my stuff. And to remember, by properly focussing and vocalizing in your thoughts things like : “yes, i did put my ATM card back in my wallet and my wallet is in it’s usual pocket”.
• placing orders and properly storing your purchases for travel back home, in stores and markets, etc, etc, any place where something is sold for money.
• planning your shopping-trip. especially if you need to use stores that you’ve never used before. best done on paper on days like this, and don’t forget to bring that paper, in your wallet somewhere.
• choosing between silence when you try to sleep or music/movie/TV/reading/working because you can’t sleep anyways. it’s better to be doing something you like than lying on bed trying to sleep, and realizing it’s just not going to work due to something that’s wrong.

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by abnormal behavior, strange speech, and a decreased ability to understand reality. Other symptoms include false beliefs, unclear or confused thinking, hearing voices that others do not, reduced social engagement and emotional expression, and lack of motivation.

People with schizophrenia have higher rates of other psychiatric disorders, too.

Some psychiatric disorders that are more common in people with schizophrenia can include the following:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Alcohol and other substance abuse disorders

The rate of suicide is higher among people with schizophrenia than in the general population. People with schizophrenia account for roughly 1 in 10 suicides in the United States, according to the physician-run website UpToDate. (4)

 

[khansaheeb]

It definitely shows in your post. There are a few possible causes to the issues:-

1. You are (or have in the past) eating too much sugar or Aspartame
2. You are not exercising enough
3. You have too much salt in your diet
4. Something in your food chain has neurotoxins

I strongly suggest you control what you eat and drink and do 30 minutes of exercises before you sleep . I guarantee your issues will resolve.

You might be a Ne (Extroverted Intuition) dom.
It can be hard for Ne doms or the ones who have it as their second function to calm their heads and not keep thinking about stuff. Same is true for all Intuitive introverts though.

You might want to look into some personality tests and in particular the MBTI and Enneagram, and that might help you point towards a lot about yourself that can help you improve the quality of your persona and life as a whole.

well, now that you mention it. Yes, i've had about every diagnosis in the psychiatrist's Bible aka their work-manual.
and people with that diagnosis are commonly ignored as nutters.

however, my "career" in psychiatry went as follows:
* convince everyone on forums.marokko.nl in 2 years time to focus primarly and preferably only on enjoying the peace and prosperity of their country, rather than starting to sound like planning vandalism or worse to express their justified anger over what's happening by western hands and military machines on a regular basis over in their homelands aka Muslim nations like Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, etc.
that tought me how to write really good convincing articles in Dutch (language of the Netherlands), by the way.

* when it was clear they were actually doing on forums.marokko.nl as i had advised them over and over again, nicely by the way, but sometimes in the terms of harsh reality, when necessary,
i offered them to be the white dude who takes a look if all that bombing by NATO in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq can't be prevented / done with less casualties on *all* sides instead of just NATO's side, etc, etc, stuff like that.

* took me a while, a few months, to find defence.pk where such discussions are fortunately excellently possible

* been emailing the CIA stuff they don't want to hear far too often for their liking soon after that.

now, why did this all get me into psychiatric circles, where the best thing a guy with way more kung fu skills than the average man in my city (me, again) can do, is just spend his time providing good explanations to honest questions that do need an answer, and end up by doing that long enough such a good self-taught psychologist that i'm now officially considering going through the training to work for the same hospital i went to, to become an volunteer psychologist who stops by that hospital for a 1 hour visit on some of the wards about 2 or 3 times per week. I stand a good chance to get that job, if i go through with that.

my diagnosis is now only bi-polar, and since in all the years that the sleep-deprivation that comes from having to get up again and again to win discussions that happen in real-time with people from vastly different timezones than my own, to correct my own posts (sometimes over and over again), until they were perfect down to every word-choice, grammer, spelling, and punctuation.

more information about surviving severe sleep-deprivation is over in my thread on this forum at https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/slee...that-may-save-you-misery-or-your-life.590941/

so *i* never went to mental hospital because i was violent towards anyone.
i went there to get my life saved from sleep-deprivation that was reaching the deadly limit of nights and days without sleep in a row.

and these days, i don't take anti-psychotics anymore, because anti-psychotics, all varients that i "had" to try (doctors offering me another med to try, another anti-psychotic ofcourse), all make me severely depressed all day long every day.

so i looked up via google and read the laws for psychiatric patients in my country,
and it turns out i don't have to take anti-psychotics at all according to the law,
with my recorded track-record of not ever having been in a fight while in a confused state.

all the other fights i've been in, were your usual social oopsies, shouldn't have done that, so i usually do a "tuck tail" to prevent long talks at the police office from being added to that bullshit.
i'm claustrofobic you see. i hate police cells after about 10 seconds in one.

so... i'm a psychiatric patient well on his way to becoming an actual ex-patient with a software-company that i wrote also in the same years mentioned in this post (seductiveapps-dot-com),
not the type of patient who shouts angrily too often, or talks nonsense, or talks in himself, etc, etc, etc.

let's just say..... since childhood, i've always been pretty much the smartest person in whatever social-gathering room i enter.
and i've proven by all those very strictly organized mental hospital stays, that i'll never deploy those kung fu skills of mine, not even when treated very unpleasantly and unreasonably for no reason at all (a standard test of patients going into mental hospital).

however. actual psychic/spiritual attack that can land normal people in mental hospital in numbers that the mental hospitals in the entire country don't have beds for, that's a spiritual-level, mostly invisible, national emergency.

and guess what? i'm also on the team in my city that fixes situations like that.
for instance when tourists start pulling telepathic shit to see if they can conquer the city by placing enough of it's citizens under their control via telepathic tourist "powers".

so in other words: me, i only use harsh truth or telepathic offensive action, or any offensive action, when the attacking group has received a few warnings (if they deserve warnings), and only after those warnings have proven not to work (give hope, take hope away), actually start looking for the attacking groups weak-spots and planning and working, pretty much as often as you can without getting tired, and actually do stuff, that (A) doesn't harm the innocent bystanders, and (B) does put the attacking group in fear of not being able to sleep themselves ever again, anywhere.

You are crazy. Seriously consider killing yourself before you hurt innocent people. That is the least you can do for humanity.

Says the guy who wants to send a nuke to everyone who beats him in discussions on this forum, or at least at people who beat whatever you have to "add to this discussion" with posts of their own, like me.

I am not crazy. In fact, my diagnosis is bi-polar at the moment, and i'm not even that, because i can keep my emotions under control under all normal circumstances and even when severely stressed over something.
but even men can get so stressed they cry over something, or so happy they appear to be talking in themselves in the middle of the street. now in my city, that last bit, about 20% of our population does that on *some* days. So it's perfectly acceptable body-language to be moving your lips to talk in yourself back to whatever telepathy aka voices in your head your received while you had to do your daily walk or groceries.

but i do still, for the moment, need some sleep-meds that i can only get via the local psychiatry out-patient office.

You, @Feng Leng however, are so crazy that you're giving your country a bad name at the least,
and you are spreading hatred that could, if left un-countered by guys like me, entire countries at war against eachother.
and you might even do that just for fun because you have nothing useful to do with your life.

we over here, we call you a mental hospital patient who is ready to live for the rest of your life in a facility run by psychiatry.
that's what you qualify yourself for if you go war-mongering in as INSANE and PROMOTING OF WARS WITH NUKES FIRED BETWEEN NATIONS LIKE CHINA AND ANY COUNTRY WHERE A PERSON LIVES WHO MERELY BEATS YOUR STUPID COMMENTS WITH SMARTER MUCH MORE PEACEFUL COMMENTS.

your life must be getting more unpleasant by the minute, after reading this.
i really hope it does.
you're one of the few humans on the entire pleasant i'd say all this about.

and why? look up the previous posts of @Feng Leng

we'll let the reading audience decide, each on their own of course, who is crazier and/or more dangerous to the world or his direct environment : you, or me.
i'm thinking it's you, @Feng Leng.

i'm proficient in many professions, including zen and tai chi quan, and all the military-grade kungfu styles this world has to "offer" of course. or at least the counter-moves to the moves they publish via youtube.

Plus, i really don't want to teach you anything. So i'll actually beat you into hospital if you'd ever attack me physically dude. Or the morgue, depending how dangerous you are to me or my friends or my loved-ones, in a face-to-face situation.

Stop humping my leg every chance you get, or i'm gonna have to insult you on this forum so effectively and harshly that you won't want to come back at all ever again, because everyone here will known you as the actual psycho with internet-connection, instead of anyone with any useful / funny comments at all.

well, i am still an patient of psychiatry, i see people at their outpatient-care office, the office where they deal with people who can live in their own home and are considered no threat to themselves or others,
i'm off the anti-psychotics entirely, and i can fix my sleep problem by writing the right information into the internet on some of the semi-popular websites.
message must be useful and easily understandable by the regular audience on that site, after all.

i'll be fine.
it's not the first time i've faced situations very similar to this.

and if i do end up in mental hospital : hey, that's where my life gets saved for sure, i only have to stay there for 2 months instead of 3 or 4 which all new patients have to stay inside that hospital and do their tabacco groceries at the nearest supermarket with a nurse accompanying them, and i know exactly how to behave there to fix up not just myself but all the other patients on my ward too (as far as possible at that stage of their long road to being fully cured), so at least i have something useful to do in hospital

and i get to beat up any character like @Feng Leng there, as much as i need to, as soon as he throws his first punch at me, because the staff knows me to be a guy with a golden heart, which over here is a nice way of saying a person has a very kind/nice nature/character.

fortunately @Feng Leng is over in China most likely, and i doubt he has both the money and permission to fly all the way to The Netherlands.

and no, you can't find my home address anywhere on the internet.
i also have no facebook account and stuff like that.

Hi, Peacefan, insomnia is usually caused by stress, depression and/or anxiety. In some cases it is temporary(a night or a few nights) and this can be due to bad sleeping conditions or temporary stress, minor health issues and so on. The prolonged type you are talking about that lasts months is most certainly related to depression. For every person it will be different how they tackle it. Anti-pyshotics can be used as a one time thing to get sleep. By one time, I mean you will not be on it for months or it won't be part of your medicated plan. Taking those permanently for depression is not a good thing. And even low dose one time thing they are very strong and will knock someone out cold. I'm surprised they would give something like that before something like Xanax but they are probably afraid people use those for addiction. You should try herbal supplements or teas before considering medication to help with bouts of insomnia.

For depression, I would not go medicated route either. Depression can't be really cured, but you could manage it really well and minimize it's negative implications on you. Don't see it as a disease, instead temporary state of mind or condition. You then need to address the real problems that are giving you depression. And those are probably personal things that I think you can go about pretty well. If you have family or wife, be around them more and try accustoming yourself to healthier state of mind.

You aren't going to achieve world peace by yourself, so scale down your ambitions. If you like doing humanitarian work, join an organization that does work in this field. There are probably many in your country. Or even local social services. If you are looking for inner peace(and channeling this as world peace), then set some goals or believe in some cause or purpose for your life. I do believe you can get yourself out of this temporary mental state with some change in mind about some things and change of habits in your personal life. As others said, exercise is good for mental health too. So good luck to you.

I do have insomnia some times ago, I rather see my problem is due to my spirituality drop. Once my spirituality get back I can sleep again. My advice to you is to strenghten your relationship with God. In this matter I advice you to embrace Islam and start praying 5 times daily.

حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us).”

–Quran, Surah Al ‘Imran (3:173)
