Yes, I am a diagnosed insomniac - have been to sleep disorder clinic. Can't take sleeping pills - either prescription meds or herbal as they seriously speed up my heart - have same problem with anti-histamines and decongestants. Even a local at the doctor that should keep the area frozen for 2 hours is gone in 5 minutes. One thing though - never look at the clock when you wake up - you may not go to sleep or back to sleep anyway, but looking at the clock and seeing that it is 4:00 a.m. is a sure fire way to ensure you don't. Re the hyperthyroid, when I went through a 2 year period suffering from this - which fortunately corrected itself - my insomnia was about the same as it has always been. It is hard to plan things because you know how tired you will feel and look - and people just love to point out how tired you look.
