I used to have trouble sleeping, that is, having an interrupted sleep. When I lie down, almost always, I would fall asleep. I would awaken every two to three hours because I had to pee. I realized then that my problem was having to do with my bladder.
This was before I did not take care of my body requirements as far as nutrients were concerned. When I consulted a physician, I started taking vitamins and minerals; I was advised to take the complete one, and a natural one at that.
From that time on, my problem on interrupted sleep disappeared. At times, when I do something later at night and I drink coffee after 6:00 p.m., it would take me at least 30 minutes to an hour to fall asleep.
Also, if I have an unresolved emotional problem, it would take me up to the wee hours of the morning to fall asleep. But now, any unresolved problem, I give it to God so it would not bother me going to sleep.

I usually get about 2 hours of sleep max. If I got anymore than that it would be a miracle. I have too much to do to actually get any more sleep than that on a daily basis.
I need less sleep when I am angry or hungry. I barely need sleep when I drink tons of coffee or pepsi without my caffeine I would be a zombie.
After watching my 2 month old son or when I cry. I always feel completely worn out mentally and physically when I shed tears. While watching my son exhausts me for obvious reasons… he is beginning to teeth and he still wakes up to eat at night and many of his daytime naps are very short lived. Sometimes if I eat too much I feel very sleepy and also when I workout or swim. Especially when I swim, I sometimes go swimming for 4-5 hours straight and I could go home and sleep for 6 hours. It’s kind of insane.
It is extremely difficult for me to fall asleep. It usually takes me an hour or more to drift off to dreamland. Staring at the wall or the ceiling. There really is no set thing that helps me I just have to ware my brain down and make myself bored enough to shut down.
It’s actually very annoying; I always wished I was just one of those people who could fall asleep as soon as their head hit the pillow. I am envious of those people. I love to sleep with tons of blankets and pillows; the more the better. I don’t care how hot or cold it is I need to be surrounded by those things. It’s like I wrap myself in a cocoon.
