I have this problem also. I don't take any medications for this, but I am considering. I often find myself sitting awake at night, only to fall asleep at three or four in the morning. I have to get up at seven to get the kids ready for school by then the youngest two are awake so I have to stay up for the rest of the day to tend to them. I often find myself forgeting tasks that I have started. I want to find other alternatives to medication for this problem because I don't want to get hooked.

I absolutely get the rest my body requires.  I sleep 7-8 hours at night and if necessary take a short nap in the afternoon.

Sleep?   What is that?   Oh yeah, I vaguely remember getting plenty of that at one time.   I am a night owl, and actually have to tell myself to get to bed.   Usually live off of 5 hours or less.   NOT GOOD!   However, when I have particular trouble, it is usually because of stress.  next would be to much caffeine, nicotine, or internet.  LOL

Ever since I was a baby I have had trouble with sleep. First I couldn't sleep but 2-3 hours a day. Then I was sleeping 24 hours every 2 or 3 days or so. Now I go through cycles of 12 hours up and 12 asleep. I find I sleep better during the day than I do at night. This is great for me but makes it hard to lead a "normal" life.

Working at 1 to 930 and having school all morning kind of kills my sleeping routine haha.

I never sleep that much at night anymore, because I do all of my ptc's all night long, and if the child takes a late nap-(Like freakin' tonight!) She won't go to bed for hours, so I have to entertain her , and I get some work done! :thumbsup:

Hardly much at all except that I can sleep in on Mondays. Only 6 hrs the most. :'( I rarely have trouble sleeping at night so I don’t need to rely on sleeping pills.

Many people have problems sleeping, and pills are not the solution. Just rest yourself, see a doctor.
