What is the cure for insomia?

Answer 1

I take melatonin.

Answer 2

Meds to help you sleep, and continuing with the CD player. Also, try exercising in the afternoon or morning so you'll be tired enough to sleep at night. Do NOT exercise right before bed, though, because it will just make you more awake. There isn't a "cure" but there are ways to help make it less bothersome. Have you talked to your doctor about insomnia? He could help give you more suggestions.

Answer 3

I use over the counter sleep aids when 3-4 nights have gone by without a decent night's sleep (6 hours). And when insomnia occurs I answer questions on the internet.

The Cure for Insomnia

The Cure for Insomnia, directed by John Henry Timmis IV, is officially the world's longest film, according to the Guinness Book of Records, as of its release in 1987. Running 5220 minutes (87 hours) in length, the film has no plot, instead consisting of artist L. D. Groban reading his lengthy poem "A Cure for Insomnia" over the course of three and a half days, spliced with occasional clips from heavy metal and pornographic videos.

It was first played in its entirety at The School of the Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois from January 31 to February 3, 1987 in one continuous showing. It is not clear whether or not the movie has been shown since then. Considering that a DVD can only hold up to five hours of video at mild quality, The Cure for Insomnia would fill around 18 discs.

The film is shot entirely on video, and its intended purpose actually was to help cure insomnia. It is therefore disputed as to whether or not The Cure for Insomnia should even be considered as a candidate for the world's longest film.
