In general, there are patients with insomnia who - many patients with insomnia will actually over report the lack of sleep that they are getting.
I originally started it to help me with anxiety & insomnia. It’s already made my life waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better & even with my stage fright. Which I used to think there was no cure for…Last night was the first night I’ve slept 8 hours naturally in my entire life. I felt the best I have in ages. It’s better than any medication or all of the other nonsense I’ve tried.

I brought upon myself everything I didn't want. Finally, after a year of self-torture, I had to accept what I knew from the outset I couldn't possible alter.
I'm kind of an insomniac and watch TV late at night.

Sleep, rest of things, O pleasing Deity, Peace of the soul, which cares dost crucify, Weary bodies refresh and mollify.
Love without conversation is impossible.
Whenever I’m suffering from insomnia, I just look at a picture of a Toyota Camry and I’m straight off.
