1. Are you a current, recovering or recovered insomnia sufferer? Current

2. Did you always suffer from insomnia or was there a trigger? I have always suffered from insomnia. I developed Narcolepsy in my early 20's (Not sure if it was dormant or if symptoms developed as a result of something else)

3. What are you doing to treat or cope? Is it working?
I take medication to regulate my sleep cycles both during the day and at night. I was doing really well for a few weeks. But the insomnia has increased over the past few weeks. Probably due to stress.

4. Any major break-through lately that has helped you sleep better? I seem to have an easier time falling asleep on the couch than in bed. I wish my husband would just let me sleep on the couch instead of waking me in the middle of the night. He's so grumpy when he comes to get me. This has been going on for 5 years you think he would have given up at some point.

5. GTKY---Who would you pick from history to have dinner with? @led I like to pick questions that I can't answer either.
I think I would have loved meeting Roald Dahl.
