Do you ever get this feeling whilst in bed?

It's about 11:00 at night, you need to sleep as you have work/school the next day. For some reason, you cannot find a comfortable position in bed. Either your head is uncomfortable, or you need to use the washroom, maybe the temperature is off. You just can't find a "comfy" position. You look at the clock, suddenly it's 1:00 a.m. "I can still get 4-5 hours if I sleep now", you say to yourself. Still no luck. You notice the fact that it's getting later, and maybe you managed to get an hour or two of really poor quality sleep without realizing it, still, you aren't really comfortable. Then, you look at the clock, or your alarm goes off, and you realize you need to get up in the next five minutes. SUDDENLY, every position you assume yourself to feels comfortable! You lie there, and you think to yourself, WHY? Why couldn't I have felt like this when I went to bed at 11:00 last night?

Yes I do feel like that sometimes. But for me the solution is to just read a maths textbook and I'll fall asleep without realizing it.

Every, fucking, night
Have you been to see a sleep therapist? My advice was for occasional insomnia. I used to have terrible insomnia, pretty much nightly, but have drastically changed my sleep habits over the last decade, and now I have it only occasionally, and know how to deal with it better. I did a sleepstudy and had therapy and made a lot of lifestyle changes. It wasn't a quick fix.
Huh, my other post vanished.
Ok, my advice was that if you suffer insomnia of that sort, do not stay in bed! Get up and go do something quietly until you feel sleepy. No screens, if you can avoid it. Read a book or play solitaire, that sort of thing. Same advice if you wake int he middle of the night and cannot get back to sleep. Basically what Magi said.

Ayup. Has got to do something with endorphins or something.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

When you get that "Uncomfy" feeling, take some acetaminophen or naproxen sodium. Works for me.
