Can you die of insomnia?

Doctors say no, but I do think people have a breaking point. I just hope I never reach mine. Last night of course was awful, and I have the worst headache of my life because of the withdrawal, but it's not as bad as I expected. Maybe because it's not that different from how it was when I was on my meds. Today at school, I was sent to the nurse's office and given an onsight drug test because my English teacher thought I was high. HAHAH no not high, really I'm just tired. I can't wait to graduate. I just hope I can learn to sleep like a normal person again before college. yea Ashley, dream big.

Day 1

Alright folks, this is it. The big day I have been dredding ever since I decided to take myself off my sleeping aid pills. Seeing as how even with the pills, I was only averaging 15 hrs of sleep a week, I'm hoping that the transition won't be too bad. What's the worse that could happen? I don't sleep for four days? Yea, already been there. But my doctor warned me that I might have some withdrawal effects. We'll just have to see how it goes. I can't keep taking pills the way I was, it is recking my body, so I made the decision and I'm not going back. It's gonna be a long night, and an even longer day at school tomorrow. oy.
