I happened upon some tapes on anxiety and evidently lots of people with mood problems have this issue because the topic on one tape was sleep, or lack thereof. After a lot of discussion about sleep and fears of not sleeping, the speaker said finally 'your body will sleep when it gets tired enough'. Somehow that resonated with me and I let go (a little) of the worry about not sleeping.

It took some time and treatment, but today I sleep like a champ.

(By the way, I am from the US and vsiting Budapest this summer. I hear it is beautiful.)
hey! If you're coming to Budapest maybe I could help you out with a nice little tour! this is my small business:

Budapest Joyride

well, my problem is not really falling asleep, nor staying asleep, but to have deep and resting sleep. I sleep nearly every night 7-8 hours, but it's not really refreshing, it feels like I haven't slept at all.
