It all started when I decided to stay up for 24 hours to reset my schedule. I knew I shouldn’t have done this because it makes it really hard to sleep the next night due to anxiety levels being high after staying up too long for some reason.
I was so anxious the next night that I couldn’t sleep. Then the anxiety came to a peak. The next night I had broken sleep though I’m not 100% that I was actually asleep. I didn’t feel tired at all the next day.
By the next night I started doing things to relax myself to make it easier to sleep and I took melatonin. It was still a rough night trying to sleep.
I got really depressed and felt there was no meaning to anything the next day. I felt suicidal almost but I convinced myself not to think this way and to try to be happy. I started to laugh at myself almost uncontrollably.
That night I slept maybe 3 hours broken, but I had dreams so I think I really did sleep.
The next day I felt low again and decided to run to get out anxiety and such. I ran 8 miles. I had a harder time sleeping that night but I felt good.
This morning I have felt extremely elated. My whole body feels like I’ve taken some sort of drug. My mind is moving rapidly. I can’t explain everything but I feel euphoric. I’m afraid because I just want to be normal again.
Has anyone else out there experienced this?

Staying up 24 hours does not “reset” your sleep cycle.. it effs it up. and lack of sleep can cause you to feel anxious, jittery and high. Go get a bottle of Tylenol PM and take a couple just before bedtime. get up at the same time every morning and eventually your sleep cycle will reset itself…

endorphins from running?
you said you did a drug 3 years ago, what drug was it? Despite remission, sometimes chemicals can remain in the brain for long after you quit drugs. If you were on something that alters your mood(and i assume this because you said drug im pretty sure were not talking about advil), this would make sense. Depression is extremely common when you don’t get sleep no matter who it is. Running for that long probably released a lot of endorphins as well as possibly burning off any remainders of the drug clinging to receptors. People who smoke pot will notice this effect. If you are a pot smoker and run, you will notice the after effects or whatever is left burn off very fast. This leads to an extreme runners high. It is the THC burning off of all your fat cells. So that is why you probably felt so good in the morning. There’s a trick I learned in school…its a new aged trick for insomnia. First clean your life of stimulants, coffee soda, any add medication etc…then do absolutely nothing. Insomnia is usually a combo of a persons genetics and their lifestyle/the actual worry of maybe not sleeping. If you can’t sleep, do something productive don’t lay there and do nothing, your thoughts will run. You can’t die from not sleeping, you will sleep when you sleep, don’t worry! hope i helped.
ok, just from the first sentence, i can tell why you feel that way. you stayed up for 24 hours straight and don’t knw why you feel high. seriously?
as for the anxiety, i dont know. lack of sleep usually calms mine. and if it doesn’t, i turn to my old friend cinamin stride.

…holy crap, this is like insomnia to a whole new level. no, i can’t say ive ever stayed up 4 days in a row getting only a few hours of sleep! its the weekend though. you have 2 and a half days to solve this. what i would do is have a huge meal, then i’d just lay in bed and try to sleep all day and all night. i wouldnt get up untill monday morning except to use the bathroom. i would chain myself to the matress if i had to, but i would force myself to sleep.
