Insomnia

Once I'm asleep I don't have a problem... It is falling asleep that I have trouble with.

Hehe...that's why we have the television. I can tell you the entire tv schedule from around 10-2am. Oh yeah, never look at the clock, I've learned if you don't look at the clock you fall asleep faster. (Not that I'd know what time I did fall asleep...yeah, I don't explain myself real well.

)

Try having sleep apnea.

llol, funny you say that because when someone calls me and is like,

"what time are you going to sleep?"

I'm like.....
"I don't know, whatever time I fall asleep"

lol, it is different every night.

^Yeah, I totally understand that. It's not possible to have a set time. Then you think about having to fall asleep and thinking keeps me awake.

It just doesn't work. Hehe...

^I know it. The nights I can't get to sleep are the nights when I have something exciting coming in the morning and I know I have to get enough sleep. Or when I just can't stop thinking.

^lol, I know it.

And that's what usually happens. I'm like: OK, I gotta stop thinking! And I get so mad at my brain because it forgot how to stop thinking and go to sleep.

^Exactly! I think we need off switches that can be used for our brains. That's one of the reasons I have sleeping problems. I can't stop thinking! I tried thinking of nothing a few times, but then...I was still thinking. It's depressing. I can't think while I'm in school, yet I can at 2am.

See... I found out that right before I go to sleep, random images start to pop into my mind when I have my eyes closed. So when I can't sleep, I lay down and start to force random images into my head... and then by themselves, they just get more random and I fall asleep. But I can't say that's I've ever had to deal with insomnia, so I don't know if that will help.

I've found that reciting the same thing over and over at least quiets me enough to rest, but not always to sleep.

the only time I get insomnia is in summer when I start sleeping in, then I cant fall asleep the next night, and I start having to go to sleep latter, and then because of that sleep in longer, wake up latter, and cant get to sleep till even latter. finly to cure this I just set my alarm clock now I wake up at the same time every day, and guess what, no more insomnia.
