Did you come across our blog post about the difference between insomnia and sleep phase disorder? It might be of help:

Your novel sounds really interesting. Maybe you can treat us all to an excerpt as it approaches being finished? LindsayK is a published author, but she's gone AWOL of late. Hopefully she'll drop by soon as I think you'd both have a lot in common. Also, Kik often gets involved in NaNoWriMo – hopefully she'll submit some more pieces here in the future.
xabalba also submitted some great poems. Wow, the list goes on. I think we need to resurrect this forum from the ashes – I'll give it a shot my end by writing something for the next insomniac bulletin!

We're a small but close community, so of course I wanted to take a look at your blog!
We have a wide range of members, from hardcore insomniacs to those who struggle from time to time. All are welcome, and are encouraged to get involved.
Good luck rekindling the writer's corner. Maybe we should rename it to an arts corner and encourage sketches, etc, too? What do you think?

Welcome to Insomnia Land, Nara. I'll send out your question in the next insomniac bulletin to see if any of our other members have sleep phase disorder, or are able to offer you any tips or advice.
Have you been diagnosed with SPD, or is it something you've figured out by yourself? How long have you been struggling with sleep?

Hi Uly
Firstly, welcome to Insomnia Land and thank you for introducing yourself. Please don't apologize for the length of your introduction – it was perfect, and was just how we like introductions to be; it helps us really get to know every new member. Your profile is great, too! Thank you.
I love the artwork on your website – it's fantastic. Oh, and hopefully we'll see the Insomnia Land blog in your next Google Reader post 😉
Baron has a blog where he sketches some comic strips. You might get a kick out of it:
There's no brand new stuff there at the moment due to a computer failure, but the archives are good!
We have members here who suffer with cyclical insomnia, and others who just can't get any sleep – so you are not alone. I am glad you dragged yourself over here, and I look forward to getting to know you better and reading more of your posts in the future.
This is something new for you, so if you need any help using the site or have any questions, just drop me a line – you have my email address, or you can click the envelope icon under my name to send me a personal message.
'Dozydame' wrote on '16:Hi Uly and Welcome. Thanks for sharing so much about yourself. I hope you find some useful and helpful information contained in these pages. I look forward to your future contributions to the forum.
When I joined this group, I had never met another insomniac so didn't know if there were any common links between sufferers. However the more I read from the members here, it appears to me that intelligent, creative thinkers are more prone to insomnia. I suppose it makes sense that your mind will be more active and your imagination more easily stimulated if you fall into this category.
I don't know if this observation is in any way useful in the eternal quest for a few decent nights sleep, but maybe knowing you're smart enough to be an insomniac is some kind of “consolation prize”! Hehe.
What do you think??? Martin? Anyone??
I definitely think there's something to this, Dozydame – I even mentioned it on the blog in early March:
http://www.insomnialand.com/blog/insomnia-and-the-creative-mind/
It's one of the reasons why we started the Writer's Corner here at Insomnia Land. Normally, such a small community doesn't warrant an additional forum category, but it worked here. Having said that though, it's been rather quiet in there lately. Writer's block perhaps?
That being said, now we have Uly on board, maybe we should make it a general 'Art' corner so members can also submit pictures and sketches?

Ugh, sorry to hear of the sleepless night. The frustration is only intensified when mixed with the resentment of a partner sleeping like a baby!
What's been going on this week? You might want to take a look at our blog for tips on clearing the mind. Here are a few posts that spring to mind:

Welcome to Insomnia Land, Cindy.
How long have you had insomnia for? Is this the first time you've found a doctor willing to help you discover the cause of your insomnia? That's quite a waiting list you're on, but hopefully it will be worth it!
One of our members reviewed a sleep therapy product for our blog a while ago:

Sleep Tracks is a company that's been mentioned a couple of times right here in the forums:

This could be worth posting in the Insomnia forum so that others get to see it and perhaps add their two cents.

Welcome to the gang, Kate and thank you for introducing yourself.
You're seeking advice for your sleep issues and that's a good thing – you're willing to keep trying to get to the bottom of it, rather than giving up, which is admirable.
Do keep us updated on the sleep clinic – a few of our members have been to them with varying levels of success. I am sure a quick search through the forums will turn up the relevant posts.
I look forward to getting to know you better and reading more of your posts 🙂

Sorry to hear about your relationship, Maria. Remember we're all here to support you if you ever need us.
On the positive side, it sounds as though you're at least getting some sleep.
