Honestly, I don't really know why but I have suffered from this since I was a child. Even from an extremely young age I can remember either laying in my room staring at the ceiling or standing in my bedroom window looking down at the dark street.
I just couldn't seem to sleep.
Now as an adult it's even worse for me. There are nights like tonight when I just can't sleep at all.
I hate it because I actually like sleeping!
I envy those who do not suffer from his problem!
I'm clueless as to why I my have suffered it as a child but these days however I am certain its because of my daily stress and worries that come comes with the responsibilities of being an adult and a single parent.
Yet, it bothers me because want to sleep and can't. Then the next day I can barely function. Not everything gets done that needs to be done and thus the cycle continues.
Does anyone suffer from this or am I the only one?

@indiandevil If you are aware of your situations...you should try to make it out.

Yes, I know what you mean. I'm trying to stay awake today to break the cycle. It's not exactly easy though.

@paigea I'm the same way! I have so much trouble getting to sleep but once I pass out that's it there is no waking me up until I'm good and ready to get up.

@indiandevil Some people can nap and still sleep at night. I think a short nap, early in the day could be a good thing on those days, but once I fall asleep for a nap I sleep too long; wake up groggy and remain groggy until the time I should be going to sleep and then I am awake all night again. So, I avoid naps!

In this case, you have to get more supplements, such as iron, and calcium to ease you into sleep.
You can take mulitvitamin pill and if you still have sleeping problem, supplement it with iron and calcium pill.
I use melantonin whenever i have difficulty in falling asleep.

I can't take many vitamins. I never could even pregnant they made me sick. I never tried Melatonin, maybe I should.

My youngest son is almost 24 and has suffered from insomnia almost his whole life. I wish I could help but I don't know what to do anymore for him or you.

Such a horrible experience I am lucky enough that I dont have insomia. But I did experience having difficulty sleeping at night because I was too anxious and now I dont want a repeat performanve of that.
