No, I'm originally from the UK – we drive on the left over there. Went up to visit Iceland for about a week a few years ago – it's an amazing place. My first three cars in England all had manual chokes; I best most kids now wouldn't even know the meaning of the word!

Moving from New York City to Coastal Oregon was a huge change for me. In Brooklyn you had to get used to the sound of huge trucks barreling past your door and fire trucks, police cars and helicopters zooming around at all hours.
There are no sounds here to keep us awake – apart from our cats demanding their breakfast, and the odd coyote howling through the night. Absolute bliss!

I miss stick shifts too since moving to the US. We had to get another auto as I wasn't quite ready to try teaching my wife how to use a stick! I love it when I visit the UK though and get a 'real' rental car!
When I rented a car in Iceland it took a few bangs of my arm to remember the gearstick was on my right, not my left!

I don't think this is just about stress. In my year or so researching insomnia for the Insomnia Land blog, I've come across many mentions of the influence that computer screens themselves have over our biological clocks. I think this is more to do with the blue light we're bombarded with when using computers, combined with the fact that many coders and computer engineers find it all too tempting to work when they're at home.
What do you think?

I watched Shutter Island shortly after finishing the book. They cut out a few scenes, and made a couple of changes but otherwise, it was pretty faithful to the original story. I still preferred the book on this one, though!
Has anyone seen Human Centipede? I watched that one last week and let's just say, it's stuck with me!

I think this is an awesome idea, and I'd love to showcase the video here when it's done. Hopefully some other members will chime in with their ideas and inspiration, too.

Good luck with Sleep Tracks – do let us know how you get on. Perhaps you'd be so kind as to write a review of the product for our blog?

Great idea for a discussion topic – thanks for getting this one going, Franky.
'IvanAleisterMesniaa' wrote on '15:I am always bothered when I see blogs about sleep problems talking about taking bags and bags of certain fruits, types of plants etc and blending them with something. It's dangerous and most blogs and sites talking about sleeping problem are not backed by any scientific evidence.
Thank Hera that Martin isn't putting out any dangerous ideas or anything!
Although I try to keep our blog posts positive and light-hearted at times, I want to ensure I remain respectful and always link to the sources of the information I am sharing. I am not a doctor. I never try to give medical advice on the blog.
I think the fact we don't use hype, unfounded claims or sell unproven products on the blog proves how genuine Insomnia Land is. We're here to offer help, support (and fun) to all insomniacs – not sensationalism and unfounded information.
Anyway, I won't hijack your discussion any longer, Franky! I'm looking forward to seeing members share their theories of what started their insomnia. Perhaps we'll see some similarities.

Is the spa heatwrap available online, Marina? It would be great if you could post a link to it. Would you be interested in writing up a review of the product for the blog?

That's interesting. Do you live in a noisy area or have trouble with a snoring partner? Just wondering what inspired you to give earplugs a try.

Your experience with sleep studies sounds very similar to that of Lyn – she found the sleep labs to be more interested in sleep apnea rather than insomnia: http://www.insomnialand.com/topic/214-hi-from-oz/
It's definitely a frustration. Hopefully you can find some further advice here on Insomnia Land. At the very least, you'll find a lot of support and understanding.

Welcome to Insomnia Land, Marina. It's so good to see you introduce yourself here in the forums after registering back in June! It's also great to see you getting involved in the blog and sharing your experience and thoughts in the comments.
Franky also suffers with restless leg syndrome – I wonder if he can offer you any advice that's a little different to what's been said before. It might be worth sending him a message – he's a very friendly person.
Have you thought about fitting out a room in your home to sleep in where you'll feel comfortable away from your husband's snoring? I doubt the noise is conducive to sleep and being somewhere else isn't comfortable for you as you've mentioned. Maybe creating your own bedroom (even if you didn't use it all the time) would help?
Have you thought about visiting a registered sleep doctor or sleep clinic for more specialized advice than that ( apparently not) offered by your existing physician?

Hi Jay
Firstly, welcome to Insomnia Land. It's great to have you as a member. Have you spoken with your doctor about your sleeping problems? I assume you've spoken with a medical professional at some point as you mention using sleeping pills. Have you raised your concerns about them with your doctor?
I am sure you'll find lots of support and advice here. Don't be hesitant to post new topics, or respond to existing ones – indeed, even off-topic conversations are appreciated here.
We're just a bunch of people looking for mutual support, advice sharing, and a little fun along the way.
Enjoy your stay.
