Insomnia is Taking Over My Nights

Ok so maybe not so much insomnia since I still am managing to sleep eventually, but it shouldn't be taking me up to 3 hours before I finally get to sleep surely?  It's only been happening for just over a week but it feels like it's controlling my life by affecting my sleep pattern.

On the days where I don't have exams, fair enough I can just sleep in to try to catch up, but I've even been finding it hard when someone has woken me up at 6 and daylight is streaming from under my blind. However, when I have an exam I need to be up fairly early so I can make myself alert.  On Friday I looked and felt sleep deprived and may as well have been hungover.

Last night I got distracted reading blogs until fairly late, but despite the time, I was then lying in bed for at least 2 hours before I got some shut eye.  I've discovered that my only way of sleeping is to play Candy Crush or Frozen Penguins on my phone until my eyes shut and my phone basically falls out of my hands.

This was working for me last night until my housemates decided to come back at 3am and spend a fair bit of time in the room next door laughing and shrieking as loud as they possibly could.  All I can say is thank god I didn't have an exam today or else I would have been in there to throttle them.  We were planning to be quiet when we go out next week but that's me decided that we will make as much noise as possible just for payback.

My good friend Callie on Twitter suggested that maybe I'm just too stressed.  All I can think of is that my stress about exams in subconscious because I normally spend more time stressing out and hating myself for not revising enough after my exams.  I think there's possibly a mix in of excitement about my little surprise trip playing on my mind too.

  1. I love my little namecheck in this! I think you will find out how much insomnia you have when you're at home and have a chance to chill out!

    1. I thought you might, if you ever actually saw it ;)

      I really hope so but when I'm at home I have a completely different lifestyle. I'm up at 7 so by the time anything good comes on tv I'm completely out of it.

      If I didn't have exams I would just resort to staying awake all night and sleeping all day. At the moment I could easily do a night shift!
