Scandanavian War Machine:
that's not insomnia.
sorry to burst your bubble but i have to defend my disorder because insomnia really really really fucking sucks and going to bed at 5 a.m. does not equal insomnia if you sleep in until the afternoon.
that just means you're lazy.
ackblom12:
It's not insomnia, but I don't see how getting 8 hours of sleep is lazy.
Funnily enough I've had to defend that plenty. Going to bed later and waking up later thaother people does not equal more sleep.
Alex C:
If she simply doesn't try to get to sleep before then at all, yes, it's not insomnia, although it's not really necessarily laziness either, since yeah, getting around 10 hours of sleep isn't really that unusual. But difficulty in getting to sleep despite feelings of tiredness (onset insomnia) is pretty common and often associated with anxiety disorders, so I wouldn't go around throwing stones quite yet.
Also, I used to suffer from really bad terminal insomnia, which contributed to some anxiety which then led to onset insomnia. Onset insomnia, as it happens, doesn't mix very well with terminal insomnia. It was like a not very fun at all feedback loop.

because i can't do math in my head, that's why.

i do have difficulty getting to sleep despite feelings of tiredness. it's not like i'm not trying at all. and i have minor anxiety issues. as for the whole getting 8-9 hours of sleep thing...this has only started recently. (a couple of months ago)
throughout high school and my first year of university i'd be getting 5-6 hours of sleep on a regular basis. sometimes less. i'm not as lazy as i sound in some of my posts really.
