i am a night owl and have been since i can remember. even as a kid it took me always longer time to fall asleep, and in turn i became an avid reader. but as an adult, i discover i can really go on without sleepin gfor many hours and still functon. in the last 15 years or so i started to have insomnia every 3 or 4 months. there would be nights when i could sleep only one hour and then get up to go to work and then the same thing the next day. i would spend up to 2 weeks with that rhythm but then i would just take an over the counter sleeping aid and that would help me get back in track of sleeping regularly. right now im going through it again, the only advantage is now i work from home. so its not as exhausting.
how do you deal with a situation like this one?

I am totally a night owl also. I would like to work from home because it would be much easier for me. If you don't mind what do you do to work from home? I'm really interested in that. I was looking at online paid surveys but I have not heard anything good about them. I usually take a tylenol p.m. to fall asleep or benedryl to fall asleep. I can't fall asleep on my own, I just lay there and watch t.v.

I haven't im 21 now and I have insomia since I was 13 years old. I used to go to school with just 3 hours of sleep. On weekends I take sleeping aides to sleep. Maybe you can go to a doctor or sleep therapists.

yeah maybe i should. have you gone to one?
sleeping pills is a very bad idea for me. it causes me to sleep longer sometimes and short the other times. and i might overdose on them if i won't feel the results right after taking them. so not a good idea really
