N e 1 know how to sleep?
Think I've forgotten.
I'm, getting normal amounts of sleep, just at weird times, like going to sleep for a couple of hours n waking up again. Havnt slept longer than 4 hours in a row for months not n it's starting to get annoying waking up 3am n not being able to sleep till 5. SPecially when I got to b up for college at 7 like 2day <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif">.

I don't get much sleep either, but at least the sleep I get is all in one block. TheSite is to blame for my lack of sleep. lol.
My husband is on 30 - 50 tablets a day of various prescription drugs and I think that this affects his sleep patterns. He snoozes in the day time (sometimes he'll drop off to sleep ½ way through a conversation) and at night he wakes frequently, unable to get back to sleep.
I'm sure that it's a combination of drugs & pain for him.
When did it start for you? Did it coincide with a change of diet? drugs? exercise regime? stress level (very common in broken sleep patterns)?
You could try putting a couple of drops of lavender on your pillow before going to bed, but I think that maybe a better way would be to learn self hypnosis. Then if you wake & it's not time to get up yet, you could relax yourself with hypnosis & instead of bringing yourself up again, just drift on into sleep.
A qualified, experienced hypnotist would be able to help you there, or I expect there are loads of self-teach tapes on the market. It should only be used though if you know that there's no medical reason for it.

Know what u mean daze, I haven't slept properly since my woman left me (we had been living together). I reckon that's just cos I hate sleeping alone.
This is a major prob, cos i am a uni student, who has not been to a lecture for weeks. Today, my mum rang, and said if i didn't start getting myself to uni, and financial support would just get dropped.
Im gonna see a doc, cos sometimes i go 2 days with no kip, and then feel shitty all week. This computer keeps me entertained to all hours, so don't be alarmed by a 5AM post!!
Hope y'all can sort your sleeping patterns out. I would read, but reading technical books for uni has put me off reading forever! Maybe this would help some of u?

Been going on for like 2/3 months now. To do with drugs well suppose thinking about it it's since I been relatively clean.
It's just getting annoying cos now I'm menna b going out n I just wanna sleep for a while.
Always eat when you are hungry,
Always drink when you are dry,
Always sleep when you are tired,
Don't stop breathing, or you'll die.
Basically, you should do what your body is telling you to. If your body needs to sleep, then sleep. What's more important? Your health, or a night out?
GO TO BED

I'm getting better slowly. My tactic has been just to make sure I don't push myself any more than I need to in order to feel sleepy. In other words, go to bed whenever I feel sleepy and don't overdo it, and my body's gradually returning to normal.
Stupid.
Well, here's something to help you sleep Daze <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
