There is no sleep hygiene in my life at all ! I have tried and tired and tried. My insomnia goes back to about the age of 11 or so ( 46 now).

I have been on and tried every sleep med out there. Currently the Halcion is helpful to a degree. But I can often go a week if not longer with no sleep , sometimes i have a major crash and will sleep 20+ hours , sometimes I have a week or so that I get an average 7-8 hours a nite. there is really no make sense of it. So I no longer even worry. Even when I was was working 12 hour shifts 6 out of 7 days a week I would maybe sleep maybe not.

I have stop being worried about it. it just makes matters worse for me, So I sleep when I can and I don't when I can't. Certainly not Ideal , but its my reality.

My husband lays down in bed and is sound asleep within minutes and happily snoring away .. I get very jealous ! But it's ok at least I know someone who doesnt struggle with sleep like I do.
