that I can't get sleep, and others can't stay
awake?Linkadge

Yeah and I wish I had insomnia. Because of my hypersomnia, I can't hold a full time job, I sleep most of my day. When I actually have a day off with my husband, I half to spend half of it sleeping and my parents my friends and everyone else think I'm just lazy. This is a terrible thing to have, it's ruining my life. I'm so angry and I feel so jipped. I'm only twentyfive for christsake and I feel like I'm eighty--or I'm envious of eighty year olds, don't they need less sleep? Anyway its crippling me and people just think I need more self discipline.--Sorry, I'm just feeling frustrated. I've been seeking treatment for this for ten years now, and been on just about every kind of medication there is. This messageboard is nice though. Its good to know that there are others out there having crazy problems just like mine...or the complete opposite of mine

Don't get me wrong, I am only joking
really. It like a person freezing to
death wanting to be burned do death, not
exactly a solution. My insommnia can
be equally as disturbing. It's like I need
sleep so badly but just can't get there.
Kind of like eating disorders, some eat
too little and some too much.I hope you find help with your problem.

Someone posted here a few days ago about how taking all your Omega 3's at bedtime helps with sleep. I tried that, and it did help- but maybe it was you who posted that- can't remember!
