insomnia

My earliest recollection of suffering through this really warped circadian hiccup... I was 15 or 16... it was a school night, no less... just tossed and turned... got up and read, went back to bed, tossed and turned.. watched the sun come up, got up got dressed, hopped on my bike and rode over to school at 6:30 AM cos I really had nothing better to

Try a half hour of hard exercise a day. It won't help right away, but it will long term. Altering your sleep routine rather than fighting for sleep might help too. And hey, if all else fails, talk to a doctor. Good luck!

Ooh, and have you tried malatonin or acupuncture?

OH NO!!! Insomnia is horrible! I've tried everything...exercise, warm milk, reading/working, breathing exercises, movies...ugh. My brain wouldn't shut up. The last time I had it, I was tempted to try the "cast-iron frying pan wack to the head trick" but didn't want the bruise! ONce getting really really drunk worked but that can't be done on a work night...and the hangover isn't worth it. I wouldn't exactly call it "healthy" sleep! ;) Well, divko, good luck and may you have DEEP SATISFYING SLEEP SOON! :) *hugs*
