h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have just read your article on insomnia,so prompting me to your space.At last a real bonafida insomniac!!Don,t get me wrong I wouldn't wish it on anybody but I have met so many people who claim to be insomniacs,you phone them up at three in the morning for a chat and they complain because you woke them up their bought of insomnia over.My parents say that as a baby I never slept,after reading other articles on insomnia I ask you what unresolved problems does a baby have?!This lack of sleep has continued throughout my life I went to the doctor once to see what he could do he said my lack of sleep was caused by depression,I tried to explain that I found it difficult to believe I had been depressed my entire life ( i'm 22! )but he insisted saying that after a few weeks on antidepressents I would be sleeping like a log.Sorry doc,not so!!.
I to find that everyman and his dog has a cure,I have tried them all the only time I drift straight off is when i have had a skin full but the mornings after simply arn,t worth doing it every night let alone the cost!!.
The question I ask myself most is this,imagine the scene your reading in bed and your eyes are getting heavy,the welcome arms of sleep are open and inviting so you put down your book,turn out the light lay back on your pillow and hey prestow you are wide awake!!this process can be repeated by lying for an hour trying to convince yourself that at any moment you will be in dreamland but no so you turn on the light and pick up your book and repeat the whole process.
What I would like to know is,do you find it easier to sleep in the day? as soon as the good ol' sun starts to rise I drop off and then five minutes later my wonderful children jump on me wanting breakfast!!.WARNING FOR INSOMNIACS:CHILDREN ARE A HAZARD TO POTENTIAL SLEEP!!!!!!
