I’m pretty sure there is an insomnia thread on here somewhere, but I don’t think a creepy Insomnia thread so thought I’d start one.
I have been suffering mild insomnia for around 20 years now. It flares up from time to time and it’s not nice, and sometimes bloody creepy hence my post.
I woke up on Monday morning at 7am as usual but did not experience any sleep at all until 11pm last night, and this was only aided by around 4 pints of beer and 2 large glasses of wine.
I say it’s creepy because yesterday afternoon with 31 hours of zero sleep, I’d start to see a man on my periphery sitting next to me in my kitchen – I’d quickly turn my head, but of course there was nothing there. This happened countless times. Then the constant sound of someone running up & down the stairs. I’d go and check and the sounds would stop – I was home alone.
Then two people whispering (sounded like a man and a woman) coming from behind, I’d turn, and the whispering would stop. I’d turn back around, and it would start up again.
Of course, I’m not saying this is fortean in any way, and I know it’s the lack of sleep causing me to see & hear things. I’ve never suffered insomnia this bad before, so the visuals and acoustics were little unnerving.
Anyone else a sufferer on here, and any tips that you could give..?
