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. Insomnia is categorized as transient (shorter than one week), short-term (one to three weeks) or chronic (longer than three...
I slept my 12 to 6 terribly like I was supposed to but then I just watched a video and messed around for a few hours. But then I didn't have anything to do and was tired so I let myself go to sleep for a long time. It ended up being a horrible light sleep and I don't even feel more rested despite this! Uggg... just hate to be honest but I don't see how I'm going to do sleep restriction on days I have off like this week when its snowing outside(like it was today), or when its my off day working out. Basically that's it I do and I don't know what I can do during these days. If I slept good the night before maybe I'd think of something to do because I wouldn't feel so naggingly tired. But honestly if I sleep bad and am tired, I just don't really have anything to look forward to/stay up when the weather is crappy or it's my day off working out. I'm just off school and honestly don't have a whole lot to do.
So I'm not really sure what I'm going to do from here out. What do you guys do on non busy days when you sleep bad?

As far as sleep restriction goes, I slept like a LOG last night. I did cheat though and didn't get up at 6 cause I had a feeling I'd sleep good that night. I woke up naturally at 8:15 A.M. The tough part for my struggles in sleeping is that it seems like I'm only able to sleep when I'm absolutely desperate, usually after a day where I literally worked out all day. I'm hoping sleeping restriction will bring back some consistency. It's also really weird to me that I feel more tired today after having slept great than yesterday on little to no sleep. I think my system is so out of wack that I feel more tired the day I wake up after having slept good. It's also really weird, I noticed that underneath my eyes doesn't have darkspots the days where I slept poor but does on the ones I slept good. Honestly this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
