I Am In Pain

[Julianking93]

Words can not describe the sheer amount of excruciating pain I'm in at this moment. Everything on me aches.

My eyes are killing me, my head hurts, I feel dehydrated, and my throats dry and scratchy.

Why am I in such pain?

Because I can't fucking sleep.

I never thought I'd be in such pain from just sleep depravation. I've been up for 68 hours. I was in bed last night for 8 hours just staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep. No matter how hard I try, I just can't sleep. I'm amazed I'm able to type right now.

So, what should I do Escapist to finally get some sleep?

And for discussion, what's the most pain you've ever been in or how long have you gone without sleep. Either one of those. I don't care. I'm too tired to care which one you pick.

Why do you stay up for 68 hours, gaming addict? Lost a bet?

Either way, WHERE DID COMMON SENSE GO

 

[Axeli]

Have you actually tried to go to bed? After 68 hours awake it's usually easy from there.

 

[Dorian]

Even though it'll probably hurt like the dickens, go out and run/exercise/move about, something to burn off all remaining energy. Or try medication. Or a warm shower, say fuck-it mid way through, and take a water-nap.

The most pain?
I dun wanna say. It's pretty TOO-much-information.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

You should be able to get a couple of those at your local chemist. Two of those'll knock out a Rhino hooked on coke.

 

[TimeLord]

Get some sleeping pills or something.

42 Hours is my most time without sleep

My knee exploding is the worst pain I have been in

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Get some sleeping pills?
Or watch the shopping channels on TV. That'll get you to sleep faster than a very fast thingy.

Most pain was probably getting my head cut open.
Longest without sleep was probably 30ish hours.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

The peace of the grave is eternal...
Seriously though, I find that an excessive amount of alchohol helps me sleep, and by 'help' I mean pass out.

 

[Tartarga]

Ram your head into a wall until you go unconcious.

Did neither of you notice where I said "I was lying in bed for 8 hours, unable to sleep?"


I'm guessing I have insomnia

Ram your head into a wall until you go unconcious.

Some of my friends in the military said that they actually made themselves pass out to fall asleep faster, albeit not by that method.

 

[Verbal Samurai]

If you aren't exaggerating, you need to see a doctor. People can die from sleep deprivation around the 72-96 hour mark.

 

[HSIAMetalKing]

You should go to a doctor. Normal people fall asleep when they're tired-- it's, like, some sort of biological thing or whatever.

Seriously though-- you probably should take something. I take melatonin when I have trouble sleeping. It seems to help me fall asleep and stay asleep all night. But those symptoms of yours sound rather intense, so I would suggest going to a doctor to get something more potent.

 

[Tiny116]

You could always hit yourself on the head, really hard??

 

[Valiance]

I recommend pills or tranquilizers.

On a more serious note, what's bothering you so bad that makes you unable to sleep?

 

[MagnetoHydroDynamics]

I have gone for 42 hours once... And almost loosing a finger is the most pain ever.

 

[Swaki]

drink, thats what i do, or if you have no respect for the law like allot of people of my generation, you could try marijuana.

 

[Mushroomfreak111]

I was up for 68 hours once, and going to bed after that is actually quite hard... After so long it seems like its hard to convince your body to sleep! I finally got some sleep medicine and slept for 19 hours... Recommend you go to your doctor and get some too!

 

[DuplicateValue]

I'm sorry to hear that. =]
Have you tried sleeping pills?

Also, someone's going to say it eventually, so it might as well be me: masturbation works wonders.

 

[DoctorNick]

Um...

I guess you could go down an entire bottle of drowsy-formula cough syrup. Even if it doesn't get you to sleep then at least the drugs in it will make the sleep-deprivation caused hallucinations you're probably going to start having soon that much more trippy.
