Kristin WolgemuthNeed Sleep!
August 28th 2009 01:12
As the founder of Time to Get Up Club, I hereby declare that it is not time to get up. In fact, it is time to go to sleep, to have a deep, wonderful, truly restful sleep. The past two nights I have not fallen asleep until morning. The other night it was 5am, last night was 2am. I am really not sure why my sleep is suddenly disrupted, but I'm not too keen on what's going on here.
On any given night, one in three adults will have insomnia. One in ten has chronic insomnia. Here is an overview of this common problem, taken from Really Long Link
What Is Insomnia?
Insomnia (in-SOM-ne-ah) is a common condition in which you have trouble falling or staying asleep. This condition can range from mild to severe, depending on how often it occurs and for how long.
Insomnia can be chronic (ongoing) or acute (short-term). Chronic insomnia means having symptoms at least 3 nights a week for more than a month. Acute insomnia lasts for less time.
Some people who have insomnia may have trouble falling asleep. Other people may fall asleep easily but wake up too soon. Others may have trouble with both falling asleep and staying asleep.
As a result, insomnia may cause you to get too little sleep or have poor-quality sleep. You may not feel refreshed when you wake up.
I have had insomnia before, as I have written about in this blog a couple of times. It truly is frustrating, but I've found some relief at times with melatonin supplements and Ambien. I just got some melatonin today, so I'm hoping that will aid the Ambien tonight and I'll get some sleep. Ahhh.... that would be so nice.
Sleep is an interesting subject that you'll read more about on this blog in the near future.

My problem is 'staying asleep'. It comes and goes, staying for as few days or as many days as it wants...! I've learnt to cope OK...
Hope you're sleeping better
