The longer I go without sleep, it is like the more my body forgets how to sleep.
I know, I go through it all the time.

All the regular BS doesn't work, Stay off your computer one hour before bed, don't lay in bed for anything besides sleeping, take a bath, shoot a load, read a book. All BS for Insomnia in most cases.
We think a lot and we can't just shut of our minds. We operate great all day and as soon as we close our eyes, our minds start racing. I know, it's crazy.

They have some super techniques where you can learn to control your mind. I have tried it with no luck, people say yoga works and working out in the AM, that gets my physically tired but never mentally.

I think the more we talk about the problem the more it stays within us.

Don't take sleeping pills or you will be addicted and will never be able to get off them.

If we can put our minds to do anything like you and I have accomplished, eventually this Insomnia problem will go along with that. (Hopefully)

If you find a solution, please pass it on.
