I don't sleep worth a damn. Never more than 2-3 hours straight these dayz. I like to sleep, but I have given up the fight and just try to relax and not get anxious because I cannot sleep. If I do allow that then the problem is doubled with anxiety.

I sleep when I can and I lie and relax a lot when I cannot sleep.

Been to Dr for both problems - I no longer drink caffeine and stay away with anything with Sugar in it after about 6:00 PM. If I fall asleep on couch I just stay there and sleep all night on couch. Any sleep assist drugs just makes the legs worse. If I cannot fall asleep within an hour I get up and go for a walk or watch TV for about 1/2 hour, then I try again.

for those nights i cant sleep i take a over the counter sleeping pill and drink a shot of whiskey. i heard that alcohol and the sleeping pill work together to make you sleepy. the only bad side was when i first started doing this, i had nightmares

I would not recommend doing this for an extended period of time. Sleeping pills + liquor + big sample size = serious health problems.

Anyone who is serious about beating insomnia needs to stay away from the pills and the booze and TV and try and come up with a nightly ritual that includes reading and relaxation techniques. Sounds lame but it works
