Can’t Sleep … Tried Everything … Anyone Else Deal with This?

I’ve been trying to fall asleep, but each time, my body jolts me awake. It’s like a sudden shock that keeps me up for hours. I even tried, well … ‘relieving stress,’ but it only makes my heart race and wakes me up even more.

Update 1: Still wide awake and frustrated.

Update 2 (Sunday, March 3, 2025): Feeling a little better now, but still feeling weird about it.

Uhhh… maybe rephrase that?

Same here! I saw ‘50 times’ and thought, how is that even possible?

Wouldn’t the…uh, chafing make it harder to sleep?

Maybe they used some kind of lotion? Just guessing here…

Haha, this comment just made my day!

I read somewhere that a young guy actually overdid it and it was fatal… Scary stuff.

Yeah, I think that happened after like six times.

Maybe it was heart-related? Too much strain from…well, overdoing it?

Yeah, 50 is a bit much… A couple of times, maybe, but 50?

Honestly, was curious if there’s a trick to it.

Hey, anyone else had sleep paralysis?

Maybe the person who posted is too young to know what they’re describing? Could be a hypnic jerk.

Yeah, sounds like a hypnic jerk! Might be a language thing too.

Came here expecting to congratulate someone for their dedication, haha.

Honestly, sounds a little risky though!

@Cedar
Maybe they’re just making it up for laughs?

When I read that, I thought no way… maybe three times, tops, but 50?
