No ... not insane at all. My husband 98%of the time , goes to bed, scrolls Facebook for a few mins. Puts it down and he’s asleep in 1-2 mins. He has a semi regular bedtime and he is setting alarm to get up 6-7 am. It mostly works for him.

People like us??? Well we can try our best to find a night “routine “ for sleep but with life long chronic insomnia it’s just an enormous struggle that we might sleep well for a few weeks maybe longer but it doesn’t last long.

I was maybe 6-7 years old and my mom found me awake in the middle of the night, by today’s standards I got a “ beating “ but after that anytime I heard a noise I’d literally play dead. My sleep was always poor.

So when your a child and have insomnia it’s very likely you will never sleep “ normally” and pile Bipolar or other illness into the mix ? Yeah suckville

I hope it’s a enjoyable book
