Love the positivity of this one! I know a lot of our members are writers and artists who use their sleeplessness as inspiration.
I like catching star shows on a clear, sleepless night. In a way, it's a shame that we're designed to miss the night sky!

Welcome to Insomnia Land and thanks for introducing yourself.
I doubt you are alone in finding sleep a struggle with a newborn!
Did your sleep troubles start with pregnancy, birth, or before that?

You know you need more sleep when, by the end of the day, you've dropped and broken more glasses than you've washed.

Unfortunately I don't have any specific tips or advice to offer regarding the sleep walking, but I did want to welcome you to Insomnia Land.
When did the sleep eating start? Was it before/after you were diagnosed with insomnia and began taking the sleeping meds?

Congratulations on finding a real sleep doctor – they are few and far between.
What strategy have you and your doctor created to help improve your sleep? I'd be interested to know if we're seeing a difference since you managed to find a sleep disorder specialist.
We have another member from Las Vegas – you may want to introduce yourself to wonderhussy.
I look forward to reading more of your posts and getting to know you better.

Welcome to Insomnia Land.
You've been on quite the pharmaceutical roller coaster ride.
Many of our members will be able to relate.
Often it seems that you start off with a single condition and once the drugs start coming, you end up with many.
I'm sure you'll find plenty of tips and advice from other insomnia sufferers here in the forums. I hope you'll get involved in the community and add your own experience and thoughts to any discussions you find relevant.
You may want to sign up for our free sleep training course, too. I think it could really help you in your situation.

I've mentioned hyperarousal a couple of times on the blog. You may find these posts of interest:

Do you think your hyperarousal is down to panic attacks or anxiety, or do you just feel constantly alert?

Welcome to the forums, Kim. Have you managed to trace back your insomnia to find a trigger or cause of your sleeplessness?
Please take some time to look around the forums and get involved in any discussions you find relevant, no matter how old they are. There's a lot of great information here – and at the very least, there is a whole lot of support.
You no longer need to suffer alone – we know what you're going through, and we're here to help one another.

Glad the exercise is helping – I hear that quite often, actually.
Do you notice any change in your lifestyle or personal circumstances just before the insomnia returns?

That's an interesting thought. Have you looked into this any further – perhaps found any related research on the effects of those chemicals?

Welcome to Insomnia Land, Cally. At the very least, now you've found us you get to know that you aren't suffering alone. You have the support of all of us.
It sounds as though you've pinpointed the cause of your insomnia (stress/anxiety) and know of at least one or two bad habits that aren't helping you sleep (get the TV and phone out of your bedroom)!
Have you tried relaxation techniques such as meditation? Some basic Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques may also be helpful (like getting out of bed if you don't fall asleep after 30 minutes).
Take a look around and feel free to get involved in any relevant discussions. I look forward to reading more of your posts and getting to know you better.
