Mommy, I can't sleep!

Happy Tuesday guys!  Today I'm going over insomnia, since I've had it for about 15 years.  It's a beautiful thing, really.  I can't say I don't have enough time to get everything done.  haha.  I know that a good portion of America does not get eight hours of sleep a night.  I think that's a safe assumption.  I've looked up sleeping disorders so many times over the years, but for those of you who don't know much about it; here's some info. from Yahoo! Health.

What causes insomnia?


There are many things that can cause sleep problems. Insomnia may be caused by:

Stress. Stress can be caused by fear about a single event, such as giving a speech. Or you may have ongoing stress, such as worry about work or school.

Depression, anxiety, and other mental or emotional conditions.

Poor sleep habits, such as watching TV in bed or not having a regular bedtime schedule. If you have trouble sleeping, you may worry about being able to fall asleep. This can make the problem worse.

Changes in your sleep habits or surroundings. This includes changes that happen where you sleep, such as noise, light, or sleeping in a different bed. It also includes changes in your sleep pattern, such as having jet lag or working a late shift.

Other health problems, such as pain, breathing problems, and restless legs syndrome.

Stimulants, such as tobacco and caffeine, as well as certain medicines, alcohol, and drugs.

Lack of regular exercise.

Sound familiar?  Do something about it!  I've been using some of these things, and I went from sleeping 2 hours a night to about 4-5.  Hey, I'm more than happy with that compared to before.
