That was a bit click bait of me but I really want to know.

I don't sleep well and have not for a very, very long time. I imagine that a lot of others here have similar issues with it.

So. How do you sleep at night?

Do you have supplements that help? Are you on some sort of medication?

Do you just do what I do now and say screw it and get what little sleep you can when you can?

Maybe one or two times a year I feel like I get amazing sleep and its like life is in full color rather than black an white. Anyone else live like that?

[edit] I should have pinged suplex on this one. ;)

I used to do that about half an hour to an hour before bed. It kind of works to fall asleep but not stay asleep and the antihistamines eventually start screwing with my mood and im just in a crap mood all of the time.

So you fall asleep but can't stay asleep?

Most of the time that seems to be the problem. Never really get to good deep sleep because of it. I have tried melatonin already, it seems to do nothing for me no matter how much or how little I take.

My guess.

You have obstructive apnea which causes you to stop breathing. Your body realizes to o2 levels are going down, so it kicks you out of REM sleep, then it wakes you via small dose of adrenaline so your conscious mind takes over and modifies the air passages so you breathe once again. Your body is reluctant to go back into sleep , as it feels there is danger you need to be awake for, so you make be awake for a few hours or until you relax enough to clear the adrenaline.
