Hello! I'm sending you a warm hug from afar.

I am glad I saw your request for help. I hope my advice will help you. You are right to feel that the continuous sleep disturbance has affected your physical and mental state, making you feel even more pain.

You should go to the hospital for a comprehensive diagnosis to rule out organic lesions. Then, you should try cognitive-behavioral therapy to relieve your sleep problems.

The first step to changing your situation is to accept it. Accept that you have trouble sleeping at night. Don't fight against this state of insomnia. Instead, tell yourself that at this moment, you allow yourself to have this state of insomnia. Then, write an emotional diary. Record in words what you saw, heard, thought, and felt during the day. Or, read a book you like to distract yourself from the distress caused by insomnia.

You will find that your insomnia eases when you stop fighting it and start treating it as a way of your body reminding you to love and care for yourself better. You will then be able to relieve your insomnia through constructive activities.

You should also stick to some appropriate outdoor exercise during the day.

You must be aware of when you experience this severe insomnia, especially when this state affects your emotional state the next day and what impact it has on your life and work. You unconsciously expect this part of the impact. It prevents you from engaging in your studies and work with full energy, and this part of the learning and work is not something you really love. It is not a choice or decision you make voluntarily; it is a choice or decision made for you.

This persistent insomnia of yours may have a function. You must try to become aware of it. What do you say?

I am Lily, the little ear of the Q&A Museum. The world and I love you.

I hear you're really struggling with insomnia and it's affecting your daily life. Maybe it's time to consult a healthcare professional who can provide guidance on sleep hygiene and possibly other treatments to help you get some rest.

Sleep issues can be so tough, and it sounds like they're taking a toll on you. Have you tried establishing a bedtime routine or using relaxation techniques? Sometimes these can make a difference in falling asleep earlier.

It's concerning that you're facing such severe symptoms from lack of sleep. It might be beneficial to look into cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, which has been shown to be quite effective. Also, consider talking to a doctor about your headaches and dizziness.

Dominic Anderson The more knowledge one accumulates, the more wisdom one can potentially gain.

Dealing with insomnia is no easy feat, and the resulting symptoms can be debilitating. Perhaps tracking your sleep patterns with a diary or an app could give you insights into what's disrupting your sleep, and you can share this information with a specialist.

You're not alone in this struggle; many people face similar challenges. Seeking support from online forums or local groups can provide comfort and advice. Additionally, improving your sleep environment, like ensuring your room is dark and quiet, can sometimes aid in better sleep.
