Don’t suffer from it currently but it manifested like I was completely wired after my crash. Nighttime would come and it was like my ability to feel tired was deleted. Almost like when you have a big obligation the next day and you can’t think about anything else so you just lay there with a busy mind. When my body would get close to giving in and falling asleep I would get hypnic jerks that shot through my body, jolting me awake. Once I started falling asleep I would wake up a few times a night often with my heart pounding and in cold sweats. I probably started getting meaningful rest around month 6. It transitioned to getting about 5-6 hours of sleep before waking up.

You will start getting sleep soon. Just get whatever you can and know more should be on the horizon. Absolutely do not seek help with drugs for sleep or you will make the situation worse. It will eventually come.

I fall asleep easily but wake up after 2/4 hours and generally don’t fall asleep again. I may fall asleep again for 15/40 minutes.

I have simply lost my sleep drive and natural tiredness. I’m constantly wired.

I often yawn, especially if driving but it’s like the yawns are fake.

I’m at month 9 post crash.

At first I didn’t have insomnia from finasteride. When I took Wellbutrin, it was torture for roughly 2 months. I was only getting one to three hours of sleep. It’s returned to baseline now (six to seven hours). Occasionally it comes back, but it’s mostly psychological from the overwhelming symptoms and crippling anxiety.
