    Insomnia

    I didn't get to sleep until 08:30 am last nite/this morning, despite having lied in since 11:30pm the previous evening.

    I put it down to thinking about an essay I needed to complete today, but even nine hours seems excessive. When I did get sleep, I'd dream a different dream every five minutes or so.

    Ever suffer insomnia?

    Absolutely, mostly as side-effects to medication though.

    Having awful bouts of it this week, too.

      I suffered from "insomnia" when I visisted relatives for a week. They have four boys - 2, 8, 10, and 15 years old. And I was bunked with my grandfather who snores like a hog.

      I'm still a bit tired from that.


      EDIT: It actually did bring on genuine insomnia, towards the end of the trip I don't think I had slept more then 6 hours in the past two days and I was dead tired, but could barely bring myself to sleep even when it was quiet.

        It's not real insomnia until you hit the third day.

        I really hate that.

            i've suffered from it once in a while, but not often.

            i don't get that much sleep anyway, in all honesty, but when i lay down, i can conk out after a while.

              All the time, bud....all the time.

              My girlfriend tells me it is no doubt because of all the unwritten books running 'round in my head...LOL!

                  I used to suffer from insomnia, but i found a cure. I call it anti-insomnia cereal. Instead of cheerios or oat bran, you use sleeping pills, and instead of milk, you use NyQuil.

                  I've only had one bowl of it myself. I woke up some time later in a Mexican motel with no pants and a beard i didnt remember having.

                    I used to suffer insomnia. It was linked to my depression. Since I'm getting treatment for it, sleepless nights are no more.

                      That's funny, I always sleep best when I'm depressed.

                          All the time. Usually my insomnia is accompanied by a headache and, oddly, a song. As a matter of fact, if I go to bed with a song in my head, I KNOW I'm not going to sleep anytime soon, so I just give up before I start.

                          For example, just this past weekend I didn't get to sleep at ALL on Friday night. Got so sick and tired of trying to sleep (yes, I had a headache and the song of the moment was the O'Jays "BackStabbers") that I gave it up and worked on my #1 headache cure - lots of aspirin, caffiene, and a powerwalk through the mall (actually, WalMart suffices at 4:00am).

                            I usually suffer insomnia if for the last couple of weeks I haven't worked out or done something active and I have a lot of stress. Of course this usually happens when I have a lot of work and don't have time to work out.
