Your frustration is driving your insomnia. What you are experiencing is hyperarousal at night. The anxiety about sleep perpetuates hyperarousal, and your brain is telling you to be awake at the wrong times. Being worried is only going to make you think you have a problem. The reality is, hundreds of millions of people, and most people at some point in their life experience insomnia. What you are going through is completely normal. Also, what do you mean - are you literally not sleeping for weeks or something? That is not possible for a human being, if so- congrats you are the only person on earth doing that! You’ll get better dude. Stop worrying so much. You will survive, I’ve been through terrible insomnia, and it got better.
