Insomnia

Only suffer from it if really worried about something or coming off a really hard session. Few beers usually does the trick for me, lives answer to everything

Needless to say I was completely cynical That night thinking about the big claim earlier in the day, fell asleep in 20 minutes. Sleep has been be good ever since. That was over 4 years ago. Subsequently a friend has  taken up doing acupuncture and I asked him about the sleep and he says loads of his patients say the same that their sleep is great.  An accupuncture can be used for loads of differnt things. So did you get one for insomnia? No it was for something else but he took note of it matter of factly at the start that I had bad sleeping. Anyway your insomnia sounds brutal. I'd try w**king a dogs lipstick if I thought it would cure really bad sleep . How can you let it go untreated for so long, crazy.

It's only bad in phases.
I could go the next 3 months sleeping well and then go a period of weeks without sleeping, well without getting good sleep.
I did go the doctor and he told me to give up alcholol, and I told him that I didn't like his attitude.

You zombies still plotting revenge killing fantasies about your bosses every night?

Haven't slept well all week. Been in bed since ten here. I am bolloxed too.

I presume you've tried this but some things that help me get to sleep - completely shut off technology etc. when you get into bed, laptop off (would get tempted to go back to it if I couldn't get to sleep but not as much when it's off), phone on silent face down etc. I even have an alarm clock which you can set the time to not show until the morning alarm. I used to just turn it away but might still turn it around and check the time which would only make it worse... Also installed f.lux programme on the laptop (not sure if it's mentioned on here) - alters the colours of the screen as the sun sets and rises which makes it easier on the eyes. Get used to it after a week and only switch it off when watching a Tv show or movie. I reckon it helps when you might need to be using laptop just before you go to bed. Edit - I never had insomnia just trouble fully 'switching off' for sleep, understand the above won't be of use to many in this thread

Haven't had any issues with sleep in a good while now (touch wood), whenever I am up at this hour it's by choice (holidays at the moment ).

Any of the other lads that try the acupuncture do let us know how it goes, would be interested in it as they seem to have treatments for a huge range of things

A strong 7/10 film with Al Pacino and Robin Williams set in a town where the sun never sets.

Acupuncture costly? Talk me through the process. Sleep fine, just curious.
