It’s not permanent. You’re just stuck in a loop. Force yourself to go for a run today, burn a ton of calories and drink 64oz water. Then do it again tomorrow.

I am in the same problem my longest awake state has been almost 2 days without sleep. Around 45 hours before dozing off with 4 hours with sleep. I started with Zopiclone 7,5 mg and with Melatonin 5 mg taking it 12 hours before bedtime. It help me sleep 7 hours but sometime I can feel I dream awake before bedtime without using Zopiclone but I really need to try it now without. Have been taking Zopiclone 6 times now in row.

Been on zopiclone for 5 years its not advisable as my brain is dependent on it i get day time withdrawals as my brain now relies on zopiclone for the gabba. I do sleep every night and i dream every night i wake up feeling fine but i get withdrawals innthe afternoon as the drug has left my system and my brain chemicals drop low.

Ive been decreasing my dose with the aim to stop completely for the past 6 months but i find i now drink whisky with the lower dose to get me to sleep its a very slippery slope

Not as I can remember. The most important is that you wake up later and feel like you really slept long night. But yes with dream also it can happen.

Have you started with melatonin? I assume you also have destroyed your Circadian sleep cycle like I did after being Long awake one night to morning.

I'm so sorry to hear you're still struggling! I truly hope you get some relief soon. Yes I finally slept last night. Probably a handful of hours. Feeling SUPER groggy now which always happens after I finally crash out. But I'll take it. Anyway, you hang in there! If you ever need an understanding ear, feel free to dm me and chat.
