I cannot sleep and there’s nothing I can do to alter that and no doctor that I’ve found can help. It was not my choice to stop being able to sleep. It’s not my fault either. One finds the benefits in it because the only other option is suicide, which is from what I gather a fairly common outcome. Consider that when you make statements about the negative consequences of insomnia. For many it’s not a choice and they are in a desperate, suicidal state. Telling them, “you’re giving yourself cancer,” is a bit cruel. Lastly, you’d be amazed how many famous people lived long productive lives on 4 hours a night or less. For those of us who the medical establishment has abandoned, these anecdotes are all we have. Be gentler please.
