Random Insomniac Ramblings...

I feel your pain man. I didn't sleep at all last night even with all the itis I should've been getting from Thanksgiving dinner.

Seriously, consider getting some sleeping pills if you haven't done that already. Don't use them all the time, just maybe every 3 weeks or so to throw your sleep cycle back into place.

Also consider exercising and analyzing the foods you eat. This can help out a lot more than you'd think.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm afraid I too may have this problem. I often wake up and find myself not breathing... quite scary. Apparently there's not much in way of solutions except that scary machine I've heard about.

I have, to say the least, REACTIONS to sleeping pills. All that I've tried have caused me to have insane hallucinations(and I'm not on anything else that would cause this).

Get a prescription for Ambien. It is a very very wonderful drug. However, be very careful about taking it. Taking Ambien too often will cause the drug to lose its effects and can totally destroy your sleep cycle. Tolerance and dependence can be very dangerous if the drug is taken irresponsibly. Again, once every 3 weeks (preferably 6) or even longer and you'll be surely safe.

If you find that you are hallucinating with Ambien even then you definitely should seek major medical attention as you could have serious neurlogical damage that insomnia can potentially create. Hallucinations are somewhat common side effects for sleeping pills but it's usually you and your sleeplessness causing it, not the drug. You can often also get antipsychotics prescribed to help with hallucinations with the sleeping pills, but I'd suggest only doing that as a last resort if Ambien isn't working for you.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
