I'm think I am opposite in some ways.Self-explanatory...it's 4:40am.
Up until 3 years ago, I slept as peacefully as a child for 8-9 hours a night; now, pfft, Restless Leg Syndrome has bolloxed that, well and truly. And in turn, bouts of insomnia have crept into my life. It's wank, it truly is.
Anyone else a sufferer?

As I keep getting up, my wife sleeps upstairs and I sleep on the sofa. Been like that for 10 years.Yep ..haven't had a proper nights sleep for ages .. Normally 3-4 hrs at most ..drive the wife mad keep moving so end up getting up ....the only time I sleep for a long period is when I am ill and I am very rarely ill.
If I fall asleep for half an hour I am then wide awake ..
Pretty sure it is to do with not working had enough...I don't mean not working ( I do on average 70 odd hrs a week ) but it's not very physical work ,
I am a member of the gym but you probably have to attend to make you tired

Got a 14 month old and I work 7 12 hour day shifts and 7 12 hours night shifts a month. Sometimes changing from days to nights twice in 2 weeks. Sleep is a distant memory.
I've suffered from insomnia since I was a child and the only thing that ever helped it was cannabis. It's ridiculous it remains illegal for both medical and recreational purposes in the UK. If they only focused on the negative effects of alcohol on the individual and society, it would be deemed far worse.

Indeed, the effects of Cannabis seem to be tilted in favour of positive effects, including aid with sleep disorders. There is, however, a minority of people (myself included) that experience none of the positive effects; in fact, quite the opposite.
I'd go as far as to say, if Cannabis helps you in any way, it should be a NECESSITY. As long as it isn't abused, of course.
Try powdered Taurine, see if that helps. Mix it in with some water,
I have been meaning to give this a try.
It will help in the gym as well if you have it pre workout.
Ten Excellent Nutrition Tips for Better Sleep
Not sure how much of it is mind over matter, my wife had bad toothache and couldn't sleep so told her to try some and she was more relaxed and slept. I used to have it for the gym and football training and was more focused and a bit of a machine, although it did make it seem as if I had a staring problem because I'd focus on weird stuff like a handle on a weights bench but I'd fire out sets like they were nothing without really realising.
I had it to sleep and I found I'd look at the light on the TV being in standby and then just drift off.
Cheers! How can it help you fire out sets but also put you to sleep?!
No idea, I think its about the focus stuff.
Supplement Guide: Taurine
I had a bag from My Protein and used it all the time, think I became a bit immune.
I have had issues with alcohol previously and therefore no longer drink much at all. It also brings out the worst in me and I am perfectlt happy not drinking. That doesn't mean that everyone else should be denied the choice to drink though, much the same as it should be for cannabis.
I have never had any negative experiences with cannabis and can honestly take it or leave it.
Yeah, same here with alcohol, although I've never had an issue with it, whatever I drink turns me into Mr Miserable or Mr Fighty - therefore, I only have a social pint here or there
I haven't slept through the night since I finished work 7 years ago. I just don't seem so tired now. I wake up with cramp in my legs a lot and needing to pee throughout the night, but that's probably down to my diabetes. I suppose being on 17 tablets a day for various bits (mainly heart) doesn't help. Also incredible pain in my knee keeps me awake (waiting for a knee replacement op).
Trevelfarandwide: I am also on Amitriptyline twice a day for pain relief. I was told to take up to 5 a day! Sod that!
Chamomile tea is good for inducing sleepiness. Anyone having sleep problems should try it. I think they sell it in most supermarkets.
Re: Chamomile tea. If you've never drunk herbal tea, it will be an acquired taste, but the object is to make you sleepy not to have a delicious beverage. You need to decide your priorities. If you don't like the taste, stir in a little honey.I have thought about it, to be honest, is it tasty enough? Anything too bitter or tangy usually has me gagging.
