They don't understand.. no one understands except for people with insomnia.

I slept good last night. Went to bed around 1:30 am and fell asleep within 15 minutes.

Hopefully you get some rest. Stay positive.

I finally rolled in to bed a little before midnight. I closed my eyes and the next thing I knew, my wife was up changing our son's diaper with her flash light. I turned to the side and closed my eyes. When I woke up, it was about 6:30am.

This was the first time in a VERY long time that it felt like it was morning.

That's good to hear Galvatron. I'm getting better by the week. I might only have 2-3 episodes a week. Last week I went six straight days without having sleep problems.

We need to stay positive and stop worrying about sleep so much.
