I've had trouble sleeping, either falling asleep or more often, staying asleep, most of my life. I also have insanely vivid dreams so often when I do wake up I feel more stressed than when I went to bed. There's nothing like spending your non-waking hours running from homicidal maniacs to make you not want to face the world the next. So I end up drinking way too much caffeine, which isn't helping my health and ends up being a vicious cycle, damaging the next night's sleep. I only use sleeping pills as a last resort; last night I gave in and took one and ended up having horrific dreams about overdosing all night. Does anyone else have issues like this? How do make sure you get enough sleep without giving in to the desire to spend way too much time in bed?
