  Tried to come up with a fun little title but yeah. Out of the many non-medical insomnia techniques I tried was Chamomile tea. Long the grandmother's choice for a good night sleep. But it completely backfired with me. It felt like there was an initial calming effect but then a similar effect as becoming "un-drunk" - I got an energy boost that wasn't manic but made me not sleepy and led to several rough nights before I threw out the tea.Anyone experience similar "sleep aids" that backfired?

  Hi All,My sleep I can say is finally showing improvement. There's still up and down days (or periods of the week) but overall I am seeing real improvement. While I'm "only" getting 5-6 hours per night, 6 hours was my regular weeknight sleep pattern (7-8 hours on the weekends) and this has left me at essentially 100% functionally in my energy and how good I feel. Instead of 4-5 bad days and one OK day of sleep, it's now 3-4 good days followed by one bad.I don't plan on leaving this group anytime...

  One thing the internet tells me about my insomnia is that sleep deprivation should cause a number of things: irritable mood, nodding off at work, "microsleeps", forgetfullness. But for me no matter how it gets (and unfortunately it's been getting worse the last week) I don't get too many of the symptoms and somehow, mercifully, stay mostly functional.When my insomnia became chronic I got a near constant headache but it was more pressure and perhaps a 1/10 on the pain scale. It's since gone and...
