Sporadic fatal insomnia
I have all the symptoms of SFI. I can't get tired or have a deep sleep even when I force myself. I have no hunger at all, can barely feel pain and I haven't been able to react to stimulus, like stress and things like that. I also learned that my thyroid is over active but that could be from the SFI. Sporadic Fatal Insomnia. I haven't slept since the first couples days in Janruary of this year.

Hi.... Exercise and stay active. Activity helps promote a good night's sleep. Get at least 20 to 30 minutes of vigorous exercise daily at least five to six hours before bedtime....
Avoid or limit caffeine .. All of these can make it harder to sleep. Avoid caffeine after lunchtime. Avoiding alcohol can help prevent restless sleep and frequent awakenings.....
Stick to a sleep schedule. Keep your bedtime and wake time consistent from day to day, including on weekends.....
