It's my first time to stay awake the entire night with no sleep.

I had a 2 hour nap earlier and prior to napping it was my first time to drink two shots of soju.

Anxiety is making it bad because my thoughts wont stop and it scares me what if im unable to sleep again. My friends are all asleep and i had no one to talk to. What do i do :(

    what do you mean unable to sleep again? like, develop insomnia? alcohol does not cause insomnia. on the contrary, it helps you sleep but with less quality of rest. IF you do get insomnia, it has nothing to do with those two shots of soju. you may be unable to sleep because you're either not used to napping during the day or you napped late into the day.

    I have had this problem before too! :(

    -What helped me to sleep-
    - calming or sleeping music of waves
    ^It helps calm you down and make you kinda sleepy?

    - Maybe try writing in a journal or just a piece of paper about your feelings or stress
    ^I try to do this every night and it works!

    - Try not to take naps in the day because it can ruin your sleep schedule and you will go to bed late
    ^I rarely take naps now :)

    - If you need someone to talk to, feel free to message me anytime! :3

    hopefully I helped in some way!

    this is nothing to be worried about. I sometimes go up to 5 days without sleep during exam season (but I've trained myself to do this every semester) and sometimes I slip up if I start reading a manga and go a night or two without sleep as well. Nothing to worry about. You will see that some times ur body needs less sleep and sometimes it needs more. It's not a machine that is programmed to always sleep the same amount of hours each night. Just let ur mind wander off, look around in the room, write something in notes on your phone.. maybe about ur friends sleeping habits or idk. and if u don't like that maybe read manga or think about what u want to do the next days. and you'll see that u will be able to make it through 24 or maybe even 48h without sleep and not really feel different. of course at some point u will feel the sleep deprivation and ur Body will start to "shut down". Means you will probably go earlier to sleep. (for me it's usually like this: 4-5 days without any sleep followed by a 16-20h nap starting at around noon lol). But if u are concerned and u have free time tomorrow just take a noon or afternoon nap. Even if ur body tells u he doesn't need it at that time u can force him by laying in bed with closed curtains and putting all phones, laptops etc away and just shut ur eyes. At some point u will sleep.
    Just relax. Everything is and will be fine. <3

    I thought soju had a contribution to it thats why i had to mention. Im not used to naps but this night differed cuz i wasnt able to get a wink of sleep and my anxiety gets worse cuz i feared this would happen again and ruin my sleeping pattern. It scares me what if i wont be able to get a wink of sleep again on the next nights

    Thank u so much this really helps. Im in college but i never experienced this kind of sleep deprivation because it's the anxiety that is keeping me awake. I sometimes get 3-4 hrs of nap when studying but i never fail to fall asleep quickly. My mind and body is tired but i wasnt able to get any sleep and it's the first time for me thats why my anxiety kept me up and paranoid because i glance on my clock from time to time and when i realize it's late and im still wide awake i get scared. Ill try to take a few naps in the mornings, it's almost 5am here and i completely gave up on sleeping and wait for the sun to rise cuz i have online class at 9am. Thank u rlly this helped me :)

    from what you let on, I don't see anything concerning. more like, the problem is your anexiety and nothing else. I think you should fist acknowledge that there's nothing to worry about and realise that the problem is the anxiety. once you know that as a fact, you can start working on it.
