The insomniac thread..

I know there are several of us here at GF and I'm curious to find out how you deal with lack of sleep?
First, do you have trouble actually falling asleep, or is staying asleep your problem?
How many hours of sleep do you average per night?
Have you done anything to help yourself?

For me, falling asleep has never been a problem as long as I wait until I'm about to fall over before attempting to close my eyes. My biggest problem is staying asleep. After 2-3 hours I wake up and cannot fall back asleep. This has made for some very foggy days.

I'm pretty sure I know the reasons why I can't stay asleep but I haven't done anything to help myself with my insomnia yet. I think I'm to afraid of facing demons from the past, and the thought of taking medication to stay asleep makes me feel as though I've failed somehow.

So, how do you other insomniacs deal with it?
