I have serious insomnia issues, so they give me drugs. If I don't take them, I'm awake for a few days and then I'll get a few hours of sleep and be awake for a couple more days, etc... Eventually I'll crash and sleep for like 18 hours.
So, I appreciate the drugs. My brain just doesn't produce enough of the chemical to make me sleep. I used to not bother taking them. I started taking them regularly when I smashed my femur and needed to sleep.
I have never had a problem sleeping. I don't like to wake up. If I don't set the alarm or have someone to wake me up I will sleep for twelve hours easy
I've never slept well, for as long as I can remember. If I do a shitton of work then that will help, so long as it's physical labor and a lot of it.
That must suck. I can not related to that at all.
There are times where I can't fall asleep for an hour or two but once I do I'm out for a long, long time.
Even when I wake up in the morning it takes me at least a half an hour just to be able to think coherently.
Though if I drank coffee or used caffeine I could probably shorten that. I don't like coffee and avoid soda for the most part
