    What are some things that are preventing you from sleeping?

    If I'm being completely honest, I'm still afraid of the dark. So the night itself keeps me up at night.

    I have realised that a friendship I have is completely toxic and I don't really know how to escape it, especially without a ton of drama. I find myself laying awake thinking about that a lot recently.

    At the moment mainly just the fact that I am so congested I can barely breathe. In general I'm actually having much less difficulty sleeping than I was. I knew my old job was starting to affect me but I didn't realize how much until I switched positions. I love the new job so far.

    How university is sucking my bank account dry, even after financial aid. I hate the costs of US colleges.:slight_frown:

    My anxiety, sometimes my sensitivity to sounds at night. Thinking about work stress keeps me awake a lot. If there’s family drama going on, that also keeps me thoroughly awake.

    I'm worried about coming up with my last few gift ideas (particularly for my brother who I can't seem to think of anything for), worried about how my friend will react to what I bought him, and worried about possibly losing him in 2018. Most of all though I'm just grasping at straws trying to find something to feel hopeful about as the start of the new year is always a pretty lonely time for me and I can't think of anything on the horizon that I'm looking forward to beyond Christmas.

    Re: Hopelessly In Love With My Best Friend lol.

    Also, lately I'm just scared of falling asleep. I don't know why though. Maybe I'm afraid of having nightmares? No matter what it is, I frequently go 30+ hours without sleeping. It's not healthy but it is what it is.

    Normally, racing thoughts, a really good book or interesting daydreams but currently it's the cold from hell.

    I use headphones to get to sleep, I listen to a lot of sleepy sounds. It really helps I wish I had it as a kid.

    I honestly have no idea what to get my brother either. He's always so good at thinking of what to get me, I always feel so lame with what I get him.

    Life in general keeps me awake at night, the thoughts of the past, present, and future, problems, hopes, and dreams. Everything. I feel like my brain goes into overdrive when my head hits the pillow and it's totally beyond my control, I've always had issues with getting to sleep.

    Thoughts about a certain person who hasn't made any contact with me for a whole year. Pathetic, I know, because I should just forget this person and move on. But it's difficult because I have not met any body else who has affected me as deeply as this person did. It's difficult to distract myself from them. It's not every night, just some nights are harder to fall asleep than others.

    My story ideas, mostly; especially when I really want to work on them, but I know I have to work that night, so I have to go to bed instead. :confused:

    I have no self-control. If I want to write I'll stay up until 3:00 AM or until I've written all that I can.
