I often am awake until dawn when things get worse for me. And I hate sleeping during the day. Gah! I've been a chronic insomniac since I was a child, I don't remember ever not being this way.
It's so frustrating. My mind doesn't race or have a lot of interesting thoughts when I'm trying to sleep but it just won't relax. I have lots of anxiety when I lie down. It's gotten so much worse since this last winter. I used to be able to let my mind just wander and drift but that doesn't happen anymore, just panic.
