Now I don't mean do you have trouble sleeping once in awhile. I literally have insomnia and there's nothing doctors can do. I've tried drinking, working out hard core, a bath, yada yada... and so on. any of you guys have any good tips? this is for true insomniacs only. Or what do you do to keep yourself entertained? I get bored!

I have been an insomniac ever since I can remember. I discovered something helpful quite by accident. I went on a low carb diet to loose weight. Limiting my carbs through the day keeps my blood sugar stable and helps me to sleep. I was having high blood sugar spikes through the night and that was what was causing me to have problems falling asleep and staying asleep. I did not loose any weight on the diet, but I did learn that your blood sugar if too high from eating carbs will have the same effect on your system as if you drink coffee.

Well in my case I used to be identified a extreme manic depressant which contributed to insomnia and dependancy. I eventually requested for aid and used to be prescribed Zoloft and Trazadone. The longest I ever stayed up with out medications or alcohol used to be 12 days instantly. If your whatever like me take prescribed medications however I am a horny extreme case.

Insomnia (sleeplessness) is due to stress, dietary and medical
problems. By making small lifestyle changes like having a fixed
daily routine, relaxing and eating properly, insomnia can be
cured. I found the information at http://tinyurl.com/jfzpz useful
for getting sleep.

How wonderful it would be - I would meditate all night!
What a precious opportunity you have, but you cannot see it that way.
Peace,
