I (27F) have had EHS (Exploding Head Syndrome) ever since I was a kid. My first memory of it was when I was 7, and heard a 'airplane crash' in our yard.

Five Strategies to Address Acute Insomnia
For as long as I can remember I have never had restful sleep. I wake up feeling exhausted no matter what. When I was a kid, hypersomnia was briefly considered, because I'd often sleep for upwards of 12+ hours (sometimes as bad as 18) and still be tired. I don't drink caffeine or alcohol, the only…

This has been going on for about 6 weeks. I’ve ALWAYS slept on my right side, deep sleeper, no snoring, one bathroom break. I’ve had a nice Purple mattress for 5 years that still has zero sinking and I rotate it every 6 months. Nothing stressful or major, that I’m conscious of, has happened…

So I have a dilemma. I can’t sleep on my back because of sleep apnea and can’t sleep on my stomach due to back issues so I’m exclusively a side sleeper. The problem is I have broad shoulders, and unless I use a fairly high loft pillow, it puts pressure on my shoulder causing numbness in my fingers…

I attempted to go to sleep at 11pm. It is 1am, and all I’ve done is lie with my eyes closed, exhausted on the brink of sleep, and hallucinated like I’m watching a movie while being conscious, for TWO HOURS. This happens once a week at least, I will lay awake for hours just watching non-sensical…

I’m trying to fix my sleep routine, but I’ve realized something fundamental about myself: standard advice—like "go to bed early because it’s good for you" or "no screens before bedtime"—doesn’t work for me psychologically; it provides no real motivation. To give you an idea of how my mind works…
Thing that I never understand is how some people can literally easily fall asleep in other places like during class time, even on floor, etc. like my only ever time I ever sleep is just simply my bed and that's it, I never once had moment where I fell asleep in class, is this a bad thing? Is this…

I’ve developed severe anxiety around my sleep. Everything in my life now revolves around it. I constantly count my hours, and if I don't get a perfect 6 or 7 hours, I start crying and stressing out. Even when I sleep, I wake up earlier than usual (around 8:40 AM) and feel like I have to go back to…
Overall I sleep pretty well, but I really wish I wasn’t so dependent on my rhythm. Here’s an example: my usual sleep schedule is 11-7. If I keep that consistently I can sleep through the night most nights and feel good most days. This past weekend I had a great time socially on Friday and Saturday…
