Yes, being lonely will give you insomnia. And you need to find a solution or you'll start having other related problems. It does sound like you are depressed so you might want to start out by trying an antidepressant, and when you see your doctor also ask for something to help you with your sleep like ambien until you start feeling better. You can also try counseling. Natural herbal remedies do not work. They can relax you but they won't put you to sleep. Try this . . . no TV or computer 1 hour before bedtime. Take a very long, warm, relaxing bath with ONLY candlelight and maybe soft music in the background. Close your eyes in the tub and try to relax all your muscles. When you get into bed read something very boring (like history book, etc) until you feel sleepy. You can run a fan in the background it will help give you a soothing sound to sleep by. And I think you should give Meditation a try. It is very good for finding inner peace, seeking the Spiritual side of you, and opening doors to help you out in your Life. And some type of exercise too, like Yoga would be very good for you. Hope this helps . . .
i'm always up late. seriously i have an anxiety problem and my anxiety bothers me the least at night so i like staying up for as long as possible bc in the morning i always feel the most anxiety. it sucks to be lonely. if you ever want to talk online late at night my screename on aim is TheBTPYoda. hang in there.
then dont read..talk yo god directly...
What you think about brings about.....
i think you should say a Little prayer and ask for guidance....
What has been on your mind so early in the morning? Are you worried about something?
I found that when I was stressed and depressed, and such, there was a time I woke up for at least 2-3 hours early in the morning. All I could do was think about my problems.
Please see your Dr. about this matter.
Before (or after you do), have you tried a glass or cup of warm milk before bed?
Why are you not feeling so confident about yourself lately? Going thru a divorce, or breakup recently? I'm sorry if that is the case.
The best way to make friends is to be friendly. Not overly so, but a smile on your face as you greet people helps.
It's good to read your Bible, however, do you follow that with prayer-just talking to God, one on One? Just as you would with any person, no fancy words needed.
Try to keep the same bedtime each night, and the same time to get up in the morning, and see if that helps.
Also, when you wake up, do you feel rather tired? Or ready to take a nap when you used to not need to? If so, you might have sleep apnea-you will need to do a sleep study thru your Dr. for this. An overnight one. You might need a CPAP-Continuous Positive Air Pressure machine. It's a plastic mask you wear over your nose at night while you sleep, helping you keep breathing. I have one. A big help.
Also, please consider getting some counseling. That can help as well.
Hope this helps. Take care.
You could try some warm milk, hot chocolate, even some Benadryl
I have had this same problem for the past 15 yrs. I have to force myself to stay up all day so I can sleep at night, I've also cut out all caffeine from my diet and exercise regularly
Feel free to contact me if you want to chat one on one
maybe you are lonely.
dont listen to all these people who are saying take drugs to make you feel better.
read a boring book.
tomorrow go out and meet people. if you are shy go online. there are free sites like meetup.com where you meet people who have the same interests are you who can become lifelong friends. or craigslist.org strictly platonic section, you can meet friends also.
ultimately you have to be happy with yourself in order to participate in a health relationship/friendship. find hobbies. passions(something u can do for hours but feel like minutes)
get a dog. if u love them, you can meet other dogs and dog owners at the park:)
(im awake cause i have a lot on my mind too. i think more clearly in the night for some reason. AND probably cause im lonely also. hey we are human)
I'm in the same boat.Maybe you can put in some charity work.
Read Matthew 6:9 through 6:13. The part about doing the lords will as it is done in heaven.I'm just starting out but have found that the lord will provide for me more than I've ever known possible. You must have faith. I'm so lonely too.Sometimes I'm filled with passionate attraction for a woman or women ,and sometimes I feel completely empty. Its horrible becasue I think that if I do find a woman I will just feel empty again, and I couldn't do that to her.I don't know.I just want to love ,and help people, and I feel so selfish when I don't.I also want to love a woman more than anything ,and feel I can sometimes ,and than am empty and desolate.Have faith in the lord Jesus Christ, and everyhting will be allright. I have just found the lord ,and can see the light.It will be O.K.
You will find your love.
well first off you are reading a bible. one of the most depressing books of all time. maybe try something lighter like a history of the invasion of america written from the perspective of a native american. or maybe a sci-fi novel where all of humanity has been enslaved to evil demonic aliens, but certainly not something that tells you there is some all powerful god that hears your prayers but wont do a damed thing about it. thats like telling an orphan " you're real parents are millionairs but they are too busy to care about you and the only way to see them is to die". or maybe stop reading at night and start drinking, personally i am up until 3 or 4 every night. i am depressed as hell but once you get good and drunk it's pretty hard to stay awake for very long. if you cant afford that try masturbation . its free and contrary to christian belief it wont make you blind or grow hair on your'e palms and it will actually bolster confidence in yourself. feeling good if only for a moment is still feeling good. if that doesnt work start going out to bars and dance clubs . if you are to young sneak out ,do somthing exciting, break rules.
don't read a bible it is brainwashing and if you are feeling lonely it is not working.
don't talk to a doctor they are scam artists.
don't take sleeping pills, they will rob you of you're dreams
but mostly my advice is just go with it most every one i like being around is nocturnal. alot of people have given up on the day time. it is hot ,crowded, busy....and all the parties full of potential friends happen between 11 and 4.
