Yikes – that was short and sweet! Welcome to the forum – how about you tell us a bit about yourself? Do you know what caused your insomnia? I see you're are a Spanish speaker but living in Australia… how did that happen?
I look forward to reading more of what you have to say!

Thanks for sharing this!
You know what, when I read this article it put a smile on my face since I wrote about this on the Insomnia Land blog back in September 2011:
http://www.insomnialand.com/blog/waking-during-the-night-is-normal-according-to-one-professor/
Granted, I didn't go into nearly as much detail but it must show that we're doing something right at Insomnia Land when we're sharing interesting and relevant information before the established media!

Anyway, dive right in and get involved – I look forward to reading more of your posts 🙂

Hi Leo
First, let me say that you are not alone. We are a community of insomniacs, so you no longer have to feel isolated or alone. Many of us here are (or have been) in a similar situation to you. You are amongst friends. If you ever have thoughts about ending your own life, please don't bury them. Speak to your doctor or call 911.
Take a look around the forums and feel free to get involved in any discussions you like, no matter how old. Similarly, feel free to start your own discussion topic if there is anything specific you want to discuss that you don't already see covered.
I look forward to getting to know you and hope that Insomnia Land helps you cope with your insomnia, and perhaps even helps you get some sleep.

I thought I'd bring this one back to life!
Keep the story going by adding four words.
PART ONE
Quote:The bus was late and the dog was already taking a poop right on the damn I nearly passed out but I managed to beat up a shark the one that ate my dear dead dog. It all happened so quickly, I couldn't even save my own toe!Blasted shark, I started to run away from it, but a luminous blowfish suddenly came from the sewer and started flailing on the ground so I went over and tickled it silly but all it did was pee on my atomic particle generator, which proceeded to spit fire towards the sky, when I got a call from my bank manager to say my account was now frozen because the atomic particle generator gave it a cold and so I asked where do I go if I want to unfreeze the account and he then told me to go back to the bus stop, but suddenly I found myself staring at the big alien craft that must have popped up from deep within the ocean and I suddenly forgot why I was standing completely naked apart from all the non-naked chickens pecking on the sliding glass door of my biomechanical leg replacement.
They broke the mechanism by improperly attempting to ratchet with a wrench when what was needed was a good strong fireman to tweak the mechanism and remove the rogue chicken, which had crawled in there and was deviously planning to disable my main component so I killed it.
As it lay twitching I learned that it was actually a hyena dressed up in a pink tuxedo and yellow shoes, and I thought I really need to get those shoes for my poodle who can't dance without yellow heels because the color yellow gives him wings like red bull commercials, true story.
There's a video on youtube, and it has already had over 3 million views! My friend thought that it was going to flop just like the time at the pool in that trendy L.A. hotel when that vain lifeguard was flexing his guns def. locked and loaded until the lesbian beat a “try” sexual at shed feathers all over my professionally cleaned carpet which made me sad.
PART TWO
Quote:So anyway, back at the swanky hotel bar near the bus stop I was still trying to unfreeze the account that my Bacardi Mojitos spilled on. They reopened the bank, which had I thought, the jewels but little did I know that someone had replaced them with those scary little kewpie dolls!My thoughts went wild because I couldn't even grasp why they existed and so I asked the strange looking lady but she ran screaming I panicked when I heard the police siren and threw the doll out of the window. Then the firemen came and started to kiss the jewels! Where were they going to take the strange looking giraffe which appeared out of place near 5th and 6th street, it craned its neck looking directly at the tiny man trying to bathe In the muddy puddle trying not to splash mud onto the old Bentley that was parked on its roof by the bus stop where the giraffe was trying to figure out when to stick his neck into the coffee shop to use wi-fi to google his friend the map of the outer 5th sector near the rings of Saturn in the galaxy Flarfignhim because their ribs are awesome!
However due to technical issues, the ribs were still stuck to the grill thanks to the chef using the wrong utensil that instead was a comb for my nostril hair that curled and gave great volume to the sensitive cells in my cerebral coretx, although that was negated by my neuro pllastic brain which I got free in a cereal box.
PART THREE
Quote:I couldn't help but think how I got into this situation when I started to spin the LP backwards to 1999. Suddenly I remembered I left my bag in the bag shop behind the red fur I felt relieved, but I couldn't find it even though i was about to be caught knee deep in furs. I decided then that id lost all control, but who cares when partying like 1989 and making out in the car. “I must tell you” I said, as she stood on her hands “remember those feral pigeons..?”She looked at me but it was too late, the pigeons attacked before I could finish my triple decker cheese double down burger with fries in the side cut me up, I was thinking how to get hold of my senses before the burger was eaten by the pigeon with the fake beard.
Then I noticed the glittering necklace in the glove compartment of the bus terminal near the bank at high tide, visible only when you stepped close and I suddenly remembered taking off my clothes and there it was the ever so precious sparkling, shiny jewel of – splash I went as I dove through the vast depths of outer space and beyond to a parallel dimension where everything was just not in working order.
A jelly like goo coated the underside of my once treasured PC. My new iMac was calling to me ever so sadly in that pathetic voice of Dr. Elmer Fudd, MD during surgery to enlarge my unusually enlarged micro sciacanthus which had been inactive for some time – so long in fact, the sciacanthus had dried up prompting Elmer to say “I'm sowwy Mr Wabbit, there's no cure for insomnia. But then again your brain is uniquely adapted to handle the pressure emanating from behind those tired eyes so in future any bouts of insomnia will be terminal. Therefore it's essential that you ask before you sail into the cold night, remember how awful it is to lie awake beside someone who sleeps soundly because all you can think about is how you wish that you could kill them, but you know deep down you just want to hold them tight enough and follow them into the dark depths of…”
Then it sang YMCA and all I could do was sing along because the words are catchy and I wanted to be a happy little insomniac before I run down to the lighthouse at the far end of the winding road downhill towards the magical green ogre who dances the night away every time he gets close to falling asleep which is only if he's had over fifty nights with no sleep.
PART FOUR:
Quote:So I asked the mystic cupcake fairy if I could, y'know do what I always do on a Friday night and dance with my eyes shut tight with that green ogre wearing a floppy hat and rainbow shoes that severed biomechanical knee wires causing him to need a constant supply of cadbury mini eggs and edible bubble gum grass. This in fact made him so super bouncy, elastic and oompa-loompa that I had to sedate with a big rusty, smelly antique looking rubber blow up goat that needed a new one way rubber gasket…Keep the story going by adding four words….

I know that there have been studies linking sleep problems with magnesium deficiency – that being said I don't know if there is a specific type of magnesium supplement that is recommended; I thought magnesium was just magnesium!
To stop this reply from being completely worthless, you might want to look at adding foods to your diet that are naturally rich in magnesium – that way you don't have to worry about taking the right kind of supplement, and it could be cheaper, too!

I briefly mentioned the Yantra mat in this blog post:
http://www.insomnialand.com/blog/further-evidence-that-a-bed-of-nails-can-cure-insomnia/
I am guessing it follows the same theory as the 'bed of nails' insomnia mats:

Welcome to the forum!
A quick search of the forums will yield quite a few mentions of zopiclone! It sounds like you've tried (or considered) almost every insomnia remedy known to man! I don't know if any of our members have experience with the exact facilities you mentioned, but some have spoken of sleep studies they've had done.
Do let us know which direction you choose to take and please report back on your experiences with the clinic you choose. I'd also be interested in hearing what (if anything) comes of the NHS insomnia clinic – a review would be particularly welcome.
Anyway, I'll sign off for now – do take a look around the place and feel free to get involved in any discussions that take your fancy. I look forward to getting to know you better.
