on your girlfriend
I've had it for 25 years now. I have seen doctors, specialists, I've been to sleep clinics, taken drugs for it...

I am truly at my wits end. I sleep 2-3 hours a night, and cannot get anymore than that no matter how I try. At lest twice a week I am awake for 40+ hours straight.

Sorry, just a vent.
 
How can you possibly fuction like that? Do you nap during the day? Without sufficient sleep, how are you able to be an all around nice guy? So many questions, but what the hell, it's not like you're sleeping.
 
I just function, I don't know how, I just do. I never nap, just can't fall asleep to do it. I'm just a nice guy because I don't like being a prick unless I have to.

What did they say at the sleep clinic? sleep apnea?

Surprisingly no. When I am asleep, I sleep soundly. It seems that after just a couple minutes of REM, my body just wakes itself up. I'm not sure if it is because I have nightmares almost every night... Might well be. The doctors can't figure it out though. They say as long as I am able to function normally, not to worry about it, very strange, but not unheard of. Where is that Cyberdoc guy... He seems like a trustworthy chap, maybe he can explain it to me.
 
So the key is to eliminate the nightmares. I know easier said than done. Do you know what the nightmares are about? If I remember you have had a "colourful" past.
 
It's amazing how that after a few years sleep apnea has become the catch-all diagnosis for anybody and everybody who can't sleep. I have a relative who was diagnosed with "sleep apnea" and went through all the tests and was told to buy a machine to help sleep, etc, etc. A while, and another doctor later, later it wasn't sleep apnea but a problem in her frontal brain that needed surgery. In my opinion, most sleep clinics as sleep doctors are hacks who couldn't cut it and real doctors. Skip the sleep clinic and get a catscan or MRI of your brain.

I think I would go insane, finding things to do to pass the time ... even after just a couple of hours spending time at the computer, or watching tv, reading etc, I find myself bored out of my mind. How do you fill the void?

If it's any consolation, I guess it has to be better than being at the other end of the sleep disorder spectrum, with narcolepsy. I once knew a guy who would just suddenly fall asleep at any time, whether walking, talking, eating, etc. He would literally crash in the middle of dinner, face first into his mashed potatoes. Needles to say, he was unemployable, had no social/sex life, couldn't drive, etc, etc.

Hopefully, he had an exciting dream life.
 
try meditation and excercise. your body isn't physically tired and your mind won't stop.
 
Try sleeping in a cold, wet den for six months. Or, you can rehash all my puns. That should put you in a coma.

Don't worry about it then. Heard that Donald Trump and Margaret Thachter (check spelling) also only sleep 3 hours a night. Martha Stewart sleeps about 4 hours. What other famous people sleep only 2-4 hours a night?

Hey a1.. perhaps we should get together and see if we can tire each other out .. playing basketball.. what were you thinking ?
 
try this, it has worked too well for me, slow your breathing in intervals and focus on nothing but your breathing, do that as your lying down, let me know how it works for you

The problem is not falling asleep, rather waking up 2 hours after I lay down. When I am tired, I fall asleep in minutes, but my body just wakes me soon thereafter. I don't know how to explain it other than that.
