Yeah you got serious problems dude. I suffered from acute insomnia for over 5 years. I could sleep but only after I finally fell asleep, which was usually after the sun rose. This was very problematic as I worked a 9-5. Well I was supposed to, but I usually slept so much after I finally did fall asleep that I was always late - luckily I was the boss so I couldn't get fired :)

Anyway after a couple thousand sleeping pills of every different type imaginable, as well as a bunch of other weird drugs which would sometimes knock me out for 12- 14 hours and left me feeling like total shit the next day. I finally quit most of them. I did 3 sleep studies and after the third one, the people finally were like - oh you have sleep apnea - you need a CPAP! It's a bit of a pain in the ass but man, now I can sleep for like 5 hours and wake up and feel great. And my insomnia is pretty much gone. I was having such crappy sleep that my body was keeping me awake so it didn't have to suffer through the horrible sleep I was getting - I would sleep for 11 hours and wake up with a migrane from hell every single morning - it was hell.

Things are much better now :D
 
Actually i was kidding. Well, kinda. Used to never sleep. I would wake after maybe two hours and brain would be fully awake with anxiety type symptoms for years. Doctors threw things like benzo's at the problem. Idiots. Had tests done by a holistic doctor and found that my brain was not utilizing tryptophan effectively. They put me on Methyl Folate (cheap!) and now I sleep like a rock for 5 hours. No less, no more. I wake now without an alarm like clockwork, well rested and spunky. :D
 
Seems like your up all hours of the night by your posts timestamps :) - well now you know way too much about my sleep history :p

I do still wake up real early sometimes with my mind racing, maybe I will try some Methyl Folate just for the hell of it :D

Naw, I'm just up by 4 am mountain time. Methyl Folate cant hurt ya.
ProThera - MethylFolate

Give it a shot. It did work for a friend of mine as well as it did for me. One pill a day in morning. :)

I bet Dave takes it too!
 
Just slept for 6 hrs. after working a show then tear down for a total of 30 hours including the travel time (had DAVE as my co-pilot) back to the shop. Those all nighters always feel like a dream the next day. I wake and wounder what day it is.

Damn dude that's dedication!
 
I've got a friend who can only fall asleep once per night! Say he sleeps for 10 minutes and something wakes him up...he's up for good! It's strange. He never drags or anything though! Not quite sure how he does it.

What a beast! :D

Haha yeah, I know what you mean about the all nighters. I pull a ton of them in college...sometimes I can't remember what I did. Dreamlike indeed!
 
I don't miss the all nighter's one bit.

I just got a PA! :D woohoo don;t have to practice using my KRK's anymore :p

Sweet! Don't forget to bust a bottle of champagne on it! (or save it for the Party Party 2012 Champagne Campaign - your choice)

Water flowing under ground...
