Insomnia

I must disagree with you. It can be caused by bad practices but it can also be caused by a number of illnesses. I have 3 different sleeping disorders that are all caused by my illness Chronic fatigue syndrome. I have sleep maintenance insomnia which means that I cannot stay asleep. I wake every 1 to 4 hours. This is often just enough to roll over and go back to sleep but it still prevents proper rest. The longer the block I get the better I can cope with the next day. On days when I wake every hour I am exhausted all day long. The second disorder is that I regularly sleep over 10 hours and have trouble waking up the next morning. I forget what that one is called but it makes it very hard to get up in the morning as I have trouble waking up enough to stay up. I also sometimes have insomnia when I cannot get to sleep no matter how tired I am. Not sure why I get this one but it does not happen every night and I do not watch late night tv shows, do not avoid eating, do not smoke and hardly every drink coffee just before sleep. As I said it does not happen very often but some nights I have to take a herbal pill to get to sleep. I just wanted to point out that there are other causes than the ones you mentioned.

Oh that's pretty interesting information. I tend to have a protein shake sometime after dinner. I might also have a snack with it as well. It doesn't tend to affect my sleep unless i have it after 9.
