(not sure if this has anythin to do with it, but sometimes - rare, but i wake up like i'm having a seisure haha i think its a panic attack, but i have adapted and brushed it off as if its nothing =)

- what are some good brand pills to take.. to make you non tired .. i got 5 hrs sleep last night

sounds like it could be sleep apnea or however you spell it. Do you wake up sort of suddenly, gasping for air like you had stopped breathing? I have that on rare occasions, not so much anymore - they say its a sign of severe stress.

I sleep like a little baby, never wake-up at night (only when my son does occasionally).
But I rarely sleep more than 6 hours. I like staying up late and getting up early. Mind you I do have the occasional power-nap in the arvo when I'm putting my little boy to sleep I always kinda doze off myself.

Bloody mob of whinging nancy's.

Mate, I've done that too.... and makes no diff. I have worked around the house until I was well-nigh rooted. Get to bed, sleep for 2 hrs.. bingo! wake up. Can't drop off again. Then again I might be on hols doing SFA– sleep like baby all night. I will say one thing though, something that consistently does seem to ensure a good nights sleep- is a after a good shag.

i get mild insomnia.....lay awake thinking of work and problems...how to solve the problems.....what to do if the 1st problem solving doesn't work etc etc....

try having a few rums before bedtime lol.....or have some intense sex to tire you out

i accidentally found a antihistimine that doubles over as a sleeping pill....."phernergan"

Occasionaly have problems sleeping but no way would do i suffer from insomnia. Not so much anymore as i exhaust myself a bit at work... not physical but 11 hours a day of this stuff will take it out of me. A few years ago tho when "working through" a few issues i used to take drowsy antihystemines (sp?) to sleep...

Ive always wondered - how do you feel waking up after the proper sleeping pills? I used to feel like i had a head full of cotton balls waking up after taking antihystemines to sleep.... never really felt like a "good nights" sleep. So what are the real deal like to wake up from and do you actually feel rested?

For those with insomnia. There is a hospital in sydney doing a study on it at the moment. I cant recall the hospital but there are adds on the radio at the moment. Those interested, the add said you get free medication and free GP visits as part of the trial.

Though id let yas know.

I dont have any problems sleeping i usually have about 10hrs during the week (any less and im like a zombie) and about 13-14hrs on the weekend but i do wake up some nights like im gasping for air or in a massive panic and it takes a bit to get back to sleep. And that phenergan stuff is crazy i had one once and it knocked me out so quick and i missed tafe the next day lol.

We were allowed to sleep on night shift ...but no one did you just dozed.

Seriously to all who are having probs try some hard exercise either physical or bottle.

Try and stay away from the perscription drugs.
