" I got pretty bad insomnia after my TBI. Not only did I have trouble getting to sleep but I also had trouble staying asleep-most people have one or the other but no, I had both. Now I take Seroquel and it definately makes me sleep. Although I now have to sleep a good 10-12 hours a night it's easier manainging that than not being able to sleep at all. "

" I don't know if you call it sleep patterns, but I have insomnia! I get about 2-4hr a night and that is only with the use of a sleep aid. Yes, it sucks royally! I learned to just get up and deal, this now part of my life. I function pretty good on a little bit of sleep. If I lay there and dwell, it takes over my life. So I get up and start living! Life goes on!!! "
