Mmm...Kathleen, how I've missed you.
:-) I have a few nights a month that I don't sleep. I will honestly stay up all night working on school projects or screwing around on the inet. It seems to me, that when I don't sleep, I have a lot on my mind, and though I am physically exhausted, I just won't enter that wonderful slumber. First off, stop drinking and smoking, they impair your REM sleep and are bad for you anyways. (I do drink, but once a month or so is enough) Keep a regular bedtime, everynight, same time, even if you just lay there for a long time, try. Drink warm milk, it helps :-) And, the best of all....Write down all your thoughts of the day, a to do list, anything you can to put your mind on paper, so you don't stay up and think about it all night. Hope this helps, Ty |

^x2 Whoa!
I remember youuuuuuuu. Welcome back?  Mmm. I don't have insomnia, but I was really close to it. :/ Listen to music to help you sleep? Or maybe watch TV or something. I don't know. Usually that does it for me. |

Kathleen, I can tell that you don't sleep since you're always on when I'm on (cue the 12 hour time difference or so).
You can watch TV till all the images blur into one and then you just fall asleep :D |

I'm a night person anyways.
I don't think I have a medical condition, I just think I prefer waking life.

Haha yes I remember Ty as well. His signature reminds me of a lack of cB Yearbook. *Cough* Susan - no that was probably Brie. This "insomnia" problem of mine is current and new. Hahaha thanks. That's good to know, Sandra.

Insomniac, well kind of. I don't sleep, well I do, just rarely.
I hate it, completely. Thats why I'm always online. I never seem to be really tired. And I really don't like sleeping much. I think it's a waste of time. |

Nowadays I'm having a hard time falling asleep. I'd feel tired, but as soon as I lay down in my bed, I'm suddenly wide awake and can't sleep. I'm so weird.

I'm a night person all the way. My psychology teacher did a test on my class and it turns out I'm "One of the lucky people who only needs about 4 hours of sleep to function properly."
Sweet.

And I really don't like sleeping much. I think it's a waste of time. Me too. I've always said that I wish I could just sleep by choice, not necessity. I like to sleep when I want to relax but otherwise I find it just a waste of time. |

I don't like to sleep.
I got to bed at like eleven and wake up at like four in the morning like a crazy woman. But I just get really sick of sleeping. I get to watch all the early morning cartoooons. |

Ehhh... I wish I could help you but I really can't. It takes me a LONG time to go to sleep also, but I don't think anything is wrong with me.
Do you have any pressure being put on you or something? Stress could be causing you not to go to sleep maybe... not sure. Sorry. |

I have a bad case of insomnia myself. I usually don’t get to sleep until 4am sometimes later than that then I don’t wake up until about 1pm. My sleeping habits are very unhealthy.
ummm i guess you could talk to your doctor about it...they might could help you in some way. |

do alot of excercise before going to sleep or take a long warm bath. AND THE NUMBER ONE THING dont eat any sweets or sodas before going to sleep. sometimes listening to peacful music or reading a book can help.
if nothing else works go to your doctor. GOOD LUCK! |
