Insomnia Support Group

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 thought it might be fun to hit up a generalized open topic chat room tonight. i have not used one in like...oh i dunno..over 10 years or so..
HOWEVER, much to my surprise, aggravation,disgust..ect..ect..anything i came across was..well..just plain IGNORANT. i need not go into details, im sure the more current people will know what im talking about. so all i wanna know is this: do "normal" people have "normal" conversation in chat rooms anymore? and if so where can i FIND such a room? all i see is stupid kids, losers with webcams, or links to BS web sites out there anymore.

There are no decent chat rooms for people with insomnia. This is the only decent support group I have found.

Ditto to all you have said!!!! I still fondly remember so many really great chat sites years back but now, as you say, they are a total waste of time!
Yeuch!
I often would love to just have a decent, fun or interesting chat but people who still enjoy being any of the above - they just don't seem to go into any chat rooms I know of........

i find this site to be so helpful, and full of really nice (mostly) helpful people. i have been hit on by trolls, and kids who wet their pants and beds, but the support i get here, especially in the chronic pain group, is really great. lol, maybe the sleeping pills are working, and that is why there is no one available to chat in the middle of the night! but it's almost 2 am for me, and i'm on here! trying to get myself bored enough so hopefully i can catch some more sleep before morning. but i never though about what kelandu said....that coming on here just wakes her up more. maybe it is a bad idea for some, because it is stimulating. good luck!

Hey there. Hi. I've had insomnia since as far as I can remember and it became quite severe in my teens. I'm almost thirty now.

It's ruined my life in every way I can imagine. It's a great thing to find such an insomnia forum. I didn't imagine such a thing existed, especially one that seems quite active!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
