F... insomnia

[JoeRedskin]

Must be genetic. I have tried numerous things:

- altering stayed up longer to get 4 good hours of sleep;
- entirely eliminating caffiene from my diet;
- knowing I would wake up at 2:00 a.m., going to bed earlier and try to be productive for a couple hours and "nap" again at 4:00 a.m.;
- staying in bed and meditating when I wake up at 2:00 a.m.;
- getting up and reading when I wake up at 2:00 a.m.;
- eliminating naps on weekends;
- being sure to nap on weekends.

No matter what I try, I routinely wake up somewhere between 2-4 in the morning to tired to do anything but unable to sleep. Of course, I am exhasted and sleepy at about 5:30, but guess what? that's when the alarm rings.

I agree, F' insomnia.
