For those suffering from the Nightmare
- There's an interesting documentary on Amazon that covers The Nightmare. A dream so terrifying that it renders it's victims paralyzed in fear. This happened to the film maker, Adam Gray. If you're interested, it can be found on amazon, do a search for The Nightmare, and Paradocs TV or Adam Gray, the director. I hope this helps. It was on TV in Canada and now available outside of Canada.

Intractable insomnia
- I have M.E., therefore, a chronic viral infection with XMRV. This causes insomnia due to a neurological imbalance, therefore, there are very few drugs powerful enough to force sleep. It is only Xyrem that my do the trick, particularly as my sleep pattern, when I do sleep misses the deep sleep element. Long term, antiviral medication in the form of Raltegravir may be the cure. For the moment, using Melatonin helps me get to sleep most nights, but fails to correct for the missing deep sleep cycles, but some sleep is better than no sleep.

to sleep...to dream
- My mom's 104 yr old friend said she never ate for at least 2-3 hrs before bedtime. We started doing that and sleep MUCH better because our bodies are not actively digesting food in our stomachs. The odd time I have had something to eat before bedtime, I didn't sleep as well and had weird dreams.

Better Pillow=Better Sleep
- a good night's sleep is the key to keeping a positive attitude and being productive. I love coffee, but too much of a good thing can be detrimental. Having suffered from sleep apnea, I had to do a few things to restore quality of life. 1. no caffeine after 12 noon. 2. I replaced my old pillow with a really good one. 3. regular exercise (20 min 4x/week). Sleep well!

sleeping
- Now that I sleep with my fiance all of the time I don't have any problems, but when I was away in college I had such a hard time because I missed him so much and was so homesick. @summeressence: that's really interesting about anemia, I am not anemic but do have blood issues (hereditaryspherocytosis), and was extremely anemic as a child before I had my spleen and gallbladder taken out, I never knew that it affected sleep.

Sleep CDs and read Bible
- I listen to Delta type CDs all night long on low volume which helps alot. My sleep this year is much improved over last year. Also if I can't fall back to sleep in 20 minutes I get up and read the Bible. Almost all the time I can fall back to sleep. One more note is anemia. MY ferritin was low and I brought it back to normal. I've read that anemia can create sleeping problems.
