    Re:Insomnia

    I used to - a few years ago when I was unemployed. I wouldn't get to sleep what ever I tried. And yes I hated it. I don't get it anymore, though, thank god.

    And sadly I can't give you advice as to how to get rid of it - I couldn't get anything to work.

    Re:Insomnia

    Everyone told me to read a chapter of a book in bed to make me go to sleep. Didn't work. Hot lemondae didn't work, warm milk didn't work, lavender oil didn't work. I just put up with it now. Sometimes I can't sleep sometimes I can, I just take it as it comes.

    Sometimes I lay awake all night worrying that I might get insomnia.

    Re:Insomnia

    I have various levels of trouble sleeping. Its not usually enough to be worth calling insomnia, but I do find it hard to get to sleep and often lie awake in the morning.

    Occasionally, I can't get to sleep at all and have to get up for an hour or two and try again. Or if I find myself awake at five am or so and can't get back to sleep I just get up and start the day later.

    I'm a worrier myself, though not getting 'it' is very low down on my list of things that bother me :P . Work, study, family, friends and a million smaller things plague my mind.

    Work is the main one. Forcing myself to come to work every morning is a major effort. Believe me when I say if I could get a better job, I would.

    Until you wake up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet!

    I find I sleep best on days when I have been to the gym in the afternoon.

    Re:Insomnia

    I don't get insomnia but I ALWAYS wake up a billion times in the night. I think I sleep for about an hour, then wake up, then I stare at the ceiling and drift off to sleep about 30 mins before the alarm goes off :evil: I'm a dodgy sleeper anyway, I talk, walk, shout, laugh, run up and down stairs and on a couple of occasions got very aggressive :shock:

    Re:Insomnia

    I have had two experiences of sleep walking, both were after heavy drinking. The first one was particularly nasty as I walked straight into my girlfriends mom and dads room :shock: :shock:

    Well, I'm getting on a bit now and I can't drink as much as I could when I was younger. Especially not lager: goes straight through me. And anyway, I find alchohol keeps me awake more than sends me to sleep.

    How old am I? Twenty-three!

    Re:Insomnia

    I sleep walk almost every night apparantly :shock: and talk all night too.

    Last night I walked into my boyfriends room (yes we sleep in seperate beds) and said 'hello' and he was like ' :? what are you doing?'
    'you asked me to wake you up before I went to work'
    'Gem, it's 12.45.'
    'Don't shout at me! I have got to go to work!' Then started crying :shock:
    'Gem. It's 12.45. Go back to bed.'
    Then I started getting dressed :shock: 'I'll see you later'
    'Gem FFS go back to bed.'
    'BEN IT'S 7AM'
    'NO ITS NOT'
    'YES IT IS!'
    'Fine, I'll go down stairs and check the clock down there.'
    'OK.'
    'Gem it is definately 12.45'
    'Stop shouting at me :cry::cry::cry: '

    Then I went to bed and woke up and wondered why I was nearly fully clothed :?

    Re:Insomnia

    I hardly drink though! I got drunk on Saturday for the first time in nearly 6 months!

    I've been doing it since I was very very young. My mum and dad used to tell me how I'd woken up in the night, stripped off, and got in the bath :? (this was when I was 3) :shock:
