Insomnia is a symptom, rather than a disease, and is characterized by inadequate quantity or quality of sleep. People with insomnia complain of difficulty falling or staying asleep, which results in significant impairment of daytime functioning.

Okay, I confess...I've been being pretty naughty about Sleep hygene. I haven't really been following a schedule. I went camping and this week I've been really relaxed and pretty much ignore the clock. I guess I always go to bed sometime between 12 and 1 A.M but it hasn't been robotic. I also haven't been Waking up at a set time, I just have been waking up whenever my body does it. I keep on waking up briefly and it feels really early but I don't know since I haven't been looking at a clock.
At first I thought that wake up was 4 or 5 A.m but now I'm starting to wonder if its really 7 or 8 that I'm briefly waking up at. I'm just wondering if I should be getting up at this brief wake up? All I know is after this brief wake up, I instantly fall asleep again and it's always about 10:30 or in today's case, 11:15 that I wake up!
Now either my body is craving sleep from the billions of hours I lost in my struggle, or I'm sleeping longer than I need. It's just so hard for me to tell because honestly I always feel tired no matter what time I wake up. If I slept good, I feel refreshed about an hour after waking up.
I will start having a regular bed/wake up time soon because soon I go back to College.

I also would not be surprised if your sleep improves significantly once you start back at school, and especially if you keep regular sleep-wake hours and continue to get good exercise most days.
Good luck in school Slayer.
