Checking in. This is me, especially lately. I'm normal...sometimes 
When I was assaulted by the enemy, I had serious injuries all over. One was a loss of sound and adequate sleep. I've learned and applied a lot of things that help.
The wealth of information I studied should be of help to others.

Hi @BigO25,
Thanks for re-posting this thread!
I've struggled with insomnia for more years than I can remember.
I'm on a treatment plan now that makes things more tolerable than it used to be, but I still struggle. I'm often awake most of the night for a few nights, then get one good night of sleep, then cycle starts all over again.
It's as if I "store up" a bit of sleep that my system runs on for a few days. A friend here calls me a "Sleep Camel," lol.
I try to make use of the time, depending on my energy levels. Insomnia is a good time for me to catch up on some of my prayers.
What about you, @BigO25?
What's your story with insomnia?
The reason I learned a lot about sleep is that I found very good teachers. Even with that help, there are still more challenges than restful nights.
That said, it was a necessity and still is to keep learning /applying tops. I often go all night or get only a little sleep and it is sometimes devastating, so I can identify with others who suffer.
It's very common for me to see 3..4..5am , fall asleep for about 2 or 3 hours a night if Im lucky, then I'm back at it. This can happen for days on end until I am so overly exhausted I sleep for a full 12-15 hours. If that happen? The cycle repeats lol 
It's usual for me to sleep afternoons/nap from 2pm-4pm and at night , in bed by 10pm I wake up sometimes 2 or 3 am. Then go back to sleep and wake 6-7am
It's kind of weird that I have maybe extra sleep/wake times and thus maybe I'm aging faster! Or maybe I'm sleeping like a baby i.e fitfully. Babies don't normally sleep the whole night through, often nap, then they wake up hungry and cry.
