Insomnia

I've had insomnia before.. well a mild form of it and it really can shut a person down for the rest of the next day. Sleep is super important but sometimes for one reason or another we are unable to do so. Tests, projects, assignments are a big thing when you're younger for why we don't sleep. As we get older these change to projects, deadlines, and financial issues. The stresses of life are always all around us, and whatever age we're at one thing that can cause lack of sleep in people of all ages is that of emotional stresses. But the question is how we can cure it. Sometimes I don't think there is a cure per say but a way to temporarily suppress whatever anxieties or stresses our body has that causes this insomnia. I think the only way to truly rid yourself of insomnia is to open up to the subconscious or even conscious problems that we all know that we have, usually we say we don't know because we're in denial. While we do this, we give ourselves the chance to become vulnerable and deep down we're afraid of exposing ourselves to this vulnerable side for fear of being hurt. Sometimes however in order to solve a problem we need to face our fears and confront our problems. Does it always produce good results? No, but can we solve our insomnia? That I don't think so either. I'm really not a doctor just some guy sitting at a keyboard trying to figure out all of life's intricacies while getting through this existence myself. Do I have insomnia? I'd say no, but sleeping at erratic times and napping here and there when I can I guess has thrown my sleep cycles off. But I feel rested for the most part and do what I can to enjoy my time awake, for one day we shall return to the dust from whence we came. I want to use my time to the fullest to enjoy every little bit of life. Even if it means fighting off a bout of insomnia here or there. ^-^
