How many Suffer from Insomnia

my sister does i think. shes stays up late into the night on the computer, sometimes until around four in the morning. and me sometimes too, but usually only until one or two.

I am very much an owl. Sometimes I don't go to bed till 3 am even if I have to be to work at 8 in the morning.

Insomnia is the chronic inability to fall asleep or remain asleep for an adequate length of time.

So if you're prone to stay up late and sleep in until noon that's not insomnia, that's a poor sleep pattern.

I'm not saying anyone here isn't insomnial, but this is often an easily confused word. If you sleep for 6 to 8 hours, or more even, then that's not insomnia.

My worst spell was seventy three and a half hours without any sleep, but luckily it is well behind me and I get between four and six hours sleep every night, if I am lucky I'll get eight.

I don't have insomnia... I use to, before I was put on depression meds... I use to just stay up and watch t.v, not because I wasn't tired I was just scared of going to sleep... Hmm, maybe that's a completly different thing. Oh well!

I do, actually. I only sleep for about 2 hours a night and a good night. i have gotten to the point where i am so used to not sleeping i enjoy staying up all night. the best part is, while evryone else is asleep, the house is silent so i have time to think about things that bother me.

I do.. I havn't really slept all week I might have dozed off a few times but about 15 minutes later I'd wake up. I do my homework when I'm awake. If I'm really tired, I take sleep aids, I usually take about 2-6 even though I should only take one. I usually only get about 1 hour or less sleep a night.
