Answer 1

Makes sure your affairs are in order.

Answer 2

You should definitely see a doctor. They will most likely prescribe you a sleeping pill.

Answer 3

Just try to relax yourself as best as you can. Try watching TV or reading. Even surfing the Web helps. And if not, you might want to see a doctor.

Answer 4

It is an incredibly rare condition so highly unlikely.
It is progressive over months or years, not merely 4 days.
Insomnia is common and rarely fatal.
If concerned, see a doctor.

Answer 5

You'll be ok. For 5 years I slept 2 hours a night and not only survived but thrived!... I may or may not have been bipolar with a drinking problem at the time but get yourself checked for any mood disorders or substance abuse issues anyway (that includes prescription meds with side effects like insomnia).

Answer 6

You MAY like to see your doctor about your psychological disorder. S/he MAY refer you to see a psychiatrist or a psychologist in an attempt to find out why YOU believe you might have Sporadic Fatal Insomnia.

Answer 7

Stop doing meth.....

Answer 8

You sound like me. I've had sporadic insomnia for years, and I haven't died yet. See your doctor. He'll probably prescribe a short, 2-month course of 5 mg. Ambien sleeping tablets. Take one before you go to bed at night, & you'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. They won't make you feel "doped up" the next morning.
